To date, published factor analyses of the urgency traits have addressed their relations to measures of other traits that also dispose individuals to rash action. It is also important to understand how the traits relate to currently existing comprehensive models of personality.

After doing so, we provide a characterization of the role of the two traits in personality functioning.
