10% of this trait. Likewise, participants who scored high on C2: Order weighed about 4.5 Kg less than those who scored low on Order.2 Additional analyses indicated a curvilinear relation between O2: Aesthetics and BMI such that those lower on this trait were more likely to be overweight than lean or obese (β = .07, p < .01) and a curvilinear relation between E3: Assertiveness and BMI such that this association was weaker among those who scored lower on this facet (β = −.04, p < .05). Finally, in all of the concurrent analyses the pattern of associations was virtually identical when we repeated the analyses using the mean across all assessments of personality and adiposity.
