Personality traits were assessed with the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R), a comprehensive measure of the FFM (Costa & McCrae, 1992). The NEO-PI–R consists of 240 items answered on a 5-point Likert format ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The NEO-PI–R assesses 30 facets, 6 for each dimension of the FFM. Raw scores were standardized as T-scores (M = 50, SD = 10) using combined-sex norms reported in the manual. In the current sample (on the first assessment for each participant), the internal consistencies for the five domains were .91, .87, .87, .88, and .92 for Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness, respectively. Available longitudinal data over intervals of 10 years indicate that stability coefficients for the five factors are approximately .80 (Terracciano, Costa, & McCrae, 2006). The NEO-PI-R has a robust factor structure that has been replicated in more than 50 cultures (McCrae et al., 2005) and these traits have been associated with consequential outcomes, including income (Sutin, Costa, Miech, & Eaton, 2009), depression (Weiss et al., 2009), and indicators of physical health, such as cholesterol (Sutin, Terracciano,
