RELIABILITY
Scale Intercorrelations: At the factor level, moderate correlations between some of the factors are seen. Extraversion correlates positively with Openness to Change, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability. Agreeableness has moderate correlations with Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability. At the trait level, the strongest correlations are, predictably, within each of the five factors; that is, between the scales that make up each of the five factors.
VALIDITY
Criterion Related Validity: At the Big Five level, there are statistically significant correlations across the three categories of rating at around 0.4 between job performance and three of the Big Five; Extraversion, Emotional Stability and Conscientiousness. In the self-assessed and combined ratings, Agreeableness correlates significantly with job performance at about 0.2.
At the primary scale level, 16 out of 20 scales correlate significantly with self-assessed job performance. The median correlation is 0.28. The strongest correlations at around 0.40 are in the Conscientiousness factor – Competent and Achieving. Fourteen scales correlate significantly with reported managerially assessed job performance – the highest correlation is at 0.34 with the Self-Assured scale. The median correlation is 0.23. The strength of correlations between scales and the combined ratings are in between the self-assessed ratings and the managerially assessed ratings as correlations with self-assessed ratings are generally slightly stronger. The median correlation is 0.27.
