To provide a more quantitative summary of these findings, the hypotheses by Widiger, Trull, and colleagues were quantified such that facets predicted to be high were assigned a value of 1, those predicted to be low were assigned a -1 and those with no predictions were left as a 0. This allowed the hypothesized profiles to be correlated with the profiles from the current meta-analysis. As seen in Table 4, these correlations ranged from a low of .42 for the histrionic profiles to a high of .80 for the borderline profiles, with a mean value of .62.
