“…A more specific partitioning of neuroticism levels also supported the differentiation hypothesis. Additional evidence supports the increase in correlation between fluid and crystallized intelligence with increased neuroticism (Austin et al, 2000), although Austin et al (2002) reported no effects of neuroticism on ability differentiation for two out of their four samples. Note too that Austin et al (2000) found the most difference between groups of extremely low-neuroticism scores and the rest of their sample.…”

“…Curiously, while this proposition has potentially very important implications for the study of personality and intelligence relationships, it has been largely ignored. In fact, only three located studies attempted to test Eysenck and White's (1964) tentative conclusions (i.e., Austin et al, 1997Austin et al, , 2002Austin, Hofer, Deary, & Eber, 2000).…”

“…Shure and Rogers (1963), for example, noticed that the factor structure of personality traits is different for different ability groups. In turn, Austin, Hofer, Deary, and Eber (2000) demonstrated that the correlation between ability measures varies with level of Neuroticism. Perhaps the most intriguing hypothesis concerning the higher order relationship between personality and ability was proposed by Brand and colleagues (1994), who maintained that individuals higher in intelligence show greater differentiation in personality.…”

Personality development from 12 to 18 years of age: changes in mean levels and structure of traits

et al. 2004

The Estonian NEO-FFI was administered to 2650 Estonian adolescents (1420 girls and 1230 boys) aged from 12 to 18 years and attending 6th, 8th, 10th, or 12th grade at secondary schools all over Estonia. Although the mean levels of personality traits of Estonian adolescents were quite similar to the respective scores of Estonian adults, there was a developmental gap in Agreeableness and Conscientiousness. Three of the five personality dispositions demonstrated a modest cross-sectional change in the mean level of the trait scores: the level of Openness increased and the levels of Agreeableness and Conscientiousness decreased between 12 and 18 years of age. Although the five-factor structure of personality was already recognizable in the sample of 12-year-old children, it demonstrated only an approximate congruence with the adult structure, suggesting that not all children of that age have developed abilities required for observing one's own personality dispositions and for giving reliable self-reports on the basis of these observations. The self-reported personality trait structure matures and becomes sufficiently differentiated around age 14-15 and grows to be practically indistinguishable from adult personality by the age of 16. Personality of adolescents becomes more differentiated with age: along with the growth of mental capacities the correlations among the personality traits and intelligence become smaller.

“…On the one hand, there is a weak or zero correlation between personality traits and psychometric intelligence [5,6]. On the other hand, more and more researchers have detected significant correlations between personality traits and intelligence, especially among the Big Five personality traits and nonverbal intelligence [5,[7][8][9][10]. Among the Big Five traits, Openness shows the strongest association with nonverbal intelligence [10,11].…”

The nature of the relationships between personality and cognitive characteristics

Abstract. In the current study we investigated the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and nonverbal intelligence assessed with Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices. The sample included a total of 290 people: 59 monozygotic (MZ) and 86 dizygotic (DZ, 58 same-sex and 28 opposite-sex) twin pairs aged 14 to 20 years (mean age = 15.84, SD = 1.05). The phenotypic correlations between the traits and intelligence scores were non-significant, except for Openness. This relationship was largely explained by shared environmental influences (65%).
