“…Another unexpected finding was the lack of a significant mean difference between the LCA and HCA groups for neuroticism. Previous studies reported that this personality dimension showed a weak negative correlation with cognitive ability scores ( r = −0.15; Ackerman and Heggestad 1997 ), possibly due to test anxiety ( Denis et al 2022 ). In the current study, the hiring organization had put some measures in place to reduce this type of anxiety.…”

The differentiation of personality by the cognitive ability hypothesis proposes that individuals with higher cognitive ability have more variability in their personality structure than those with lower cognitive ability. A large sample of actual job candidates (n = 14,462) who participated in an online proctored test session, providing socio-demographic information and completing cognitive ability, personality, and language proficiency assessments, was used to test this hypothesis. The total sample was divided into three equal groups (low, average, high) using percentiles as the cutoff point to investigate the effects of cognitive ability. An ANCOVA demonstrated the significant effect of cognitive ability on personality traits, controlling for language proficiency. Principal component analyses showed that the personality structure differed between the cognitive ability groups, with the high-cognitive-ability group having an additional personality component. Similarly, analyses across job complexity levels indicated more personality components for high-job-complexity positions. The implications, limitations, and future directions of this study are discussed.
