“…The 15FQ1 also contains five ''secondorder'', or ''global'' personality factors. Moutafi, Furnham, and Paltiel (2004) and Psychometrics Limited (2002) have reported that the five Global Factors are similar to those of the Five-Factor Model. Global Extraversion is composed of primary scales fA, fF, fH, and fQ2; Global Anxiety is composed of fC, fL, fO, and fQ4; Global Openness is composed of fA, fI, fM, and fQ1; Global Agreeableness is composed of b, fE, fL, and fQ1; and Global Self-control is composed of fG, fN, and fQ3 (see Tyler, 2003 for a review of 15FQ1).…”

Four hundred and thirty-seven employees from four Hong Kong organizations completed the Traditional Chinese versions of the Fifteen Factor Personality Questionnaire Plus (15FQ1) and the Cross-Cultural Personality Assessment Inventory (CPAI-2) (indigenous scales) and provided objective and memory-based recent performance appraisal scores. A number of significant bivariate correlations were found between personality and performance scores. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that a number of the scales from the 15FQ1 contributed to significantly predicting four of the performance competency dimensions, but that the CPAI-2 indigenous scales contributed no incremental validity in performance prediction over and above the 15FQ1. Results are discussed in the light of previous research and a call made for continued research to further develop and increase the reliability of the Chinese instruments used in the study and to enable generalization of the findings with confidence.

“…Research has also looked at the relationship between personality and intelligence and their independent and combined ability to predict school and university grades (Ackerman & Heggestad, 1997;Chamorro-Premuzic, Furnham, & Moutafi, 2004;Furnham, Forde, & Cotter, 1998ab;Furnham, Kidwai, & Thomas, 2001;Goff & Ackerman, 1992;Harris, 2004;Lubinski, 2000;Lynn, Hampson, & Magee, 1984;Moutafi, Furnham, & Paltiel, 2004;Rolfhus & Ackerman, 1996;Rothstein, Paunonen, Rush, & King, 1994;Saklofske & Zeidner 1995). Ackerman (1996) has outlined the importance of intelligence being used in the manifestation and development of a person's individuality.…”

and Tomas CHAMORRO-PREMUZIC 2)2) Goldsmiths College London, UK This study examined personality trait and intelligence scores as predictors of schoollevel academic performance (AP) (British GCSE; America Grade 10) in various arts (i.e. languages) and science subjects. The participant sample consisted of 80 school pupils from a British Sixth Form College. Conscientiousness and Openness-toExperience of the Big Five personality factors (Costa & McCrae, 1992) were found to account for 13% of unique variance in AP. Intelligence (Wonderlic, 1992) accounted for the initial 10% of unique variance in AP. For science subjects (maths, science) intelligence accounted for more of the variance than personality traits, while for English language (literature, language) subjects the opposite was true. The results further support the use of personality measures being used in academic selection procedures and confirms that personality can predict AP at school level. Limitations of the study are discussed.

“…The results tend to show small, but significant, positive correlations with Openness (particularly facets that measure Intellectance) and negative correlations with Neuroticism. Some studies have shown Extraversion correlated with self-estimated intelligence (Gardner, 1999) whilst others note a consistent, small, but negative correlation between Conscientiousness and psychometric test scores of intelligence (Moutafi, Furnham, & Paltiel, 2004).…”

Over 2000 students completed three short questionnaires in which they rated their general and multiple intelligence, their attractiveness and personality using a shortened measure of the Big Five. They also provided information about their weight, height, religious and political beliefs. A series of regression was performed with self-rated intelligence and attractiveness as the criterion variable. Females scored higher on Neuroticism and Agreeableness and lower on Openness, Self-estimated IQ and attractiveness. Regressions for self-estimated IQ and Attractiveness showed a similar pattern: Conscientious, Disagreeable, Extraverted, Lower BMI males gave higher scores. Regressions for the different "multiple intelligences" showed that four (Logical, Spatial, Interpersonal, Spiritual) of the nine predictor variables accounted for 10 or more percent of the variance. For the "Academic intelligences" results showed that Conscientious, Open, Extraverted males gave higher scores. Implications and limitations are considered.
