✦ Synopsis
The present study compares the ability of three widely used personality inventories to predict averaged acquaintance ratings. Scores from 135 individuals on the California Psychological Inventory (CPI; Gough, 1987), Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI; Hogan and Hogan, 1992) and NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R; Costa and McCrae, 1992) were correlated with four sets of acquaintance ratings representing four variants of the Five-Factor Model. Validity coecients for the NEO-PI-R primary domain scales equalled or surpassed the CPI and HPI validity coecients. Across all inventory scales and subscales, the magnitude of validity coecients was moderated by the congruence between a predictor's and criterion's secondary factor loading.
