and N: −.17; O and A: −.20; O and C: −.05; N and A: .07; N and C: −.17; A and C: −.01). We then submitted this matrix to a second maximum likelihood EFA and attempted to extract higher-order factors. We could not estimate a two-factor solution but a 1 factor model would estimate. Loadings for this dimension were .18 for E, 1.24 for O, −.13 for N, −.16 for A, and −.05 for C. This solution was not clearly interpretable as a GFP. In fact, it was mostly related to the Big Five domain with the most modest relation to adaptation, Openness to Experience.
