Periodic Table of Personality (Woods & Anderson, 2015)
“+/-” represent valence of the loading of the facet
on the respective Big Five dimensions (e.g., for
Leadership [Control], the high pole of the facet
loads positively on Extraversion, and negatively
on Agreeableness; the low pole loads negatively
on Extraversion and positively on
Agreeableness).
Woods & Kurz
(2016). Mapping
Personality
Inventories to the
Periodic Table of
Personality:
Impact of Nonorthogonality.
Paper at the ITC
Conference in
Vancouver.
Each cell denotes (a) the AB5C sector location;
(b) a symbol and facet label, if included in our
facet model reported in Table 3; (c) an
abundance number, which shows how well the
facet is represented in the 10 PIs analyzed in the
study. The abundance number is computed as
the ratio of (% of PI scales located in the
sector/[1/45]). This enables sector comparison,
for example, a sector with an abundance number
of 2.00 is twice as abundantly populated with PI
scales than a sector with a number of 1.00.
Greyed boxes are spaces in the table; no facet can
be classified E+E-for example.
E = Extraversion; A = Agreeableness;
C = Conscientiousness; ES = Emotional Stability;
O = Openness.

Method – Higher-Order Personality Research Model & TDA
Kurz (2015) developed based on theoretical considerations and results of
a large-scale validation study higher-order score algorithms using 20 PAPI
3 SL Normative Dimensions and 10 Facets that were added with integer
weights of 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. Factor level scores were paired up to
calculate cluster level scores. Three cluster levels scores were added into
a ‘Performing’ Total score.
For TDA orthogonal Big 5 regression scores were created through PCA
with varimax rotation based on a larger sample of N=1213 participants in
a wider study to increase robustness of the marker scores.
PAPI scores were correlated with the orthogonal TDA Big 5 factor
regression scores (as well as a Big 5 Sum calculated by adding them) in
order to map variables on the Periodic Table of Personality.

Discussion & Conclusions
•
•
•
•
28
•
The Periodic Table of Personality is a
powerful methodology for exploring
construct validity of personality scales
Underlining constructs names located at
the reverse pole of a cell facilitates
interpretation
Big 5 + Achieving model as well as higherorder scores map sensibly
Good construct validity convergence for
Extraversion-Shaping, Openness-Creating,
Conscientiousness-Delivering; adequate
convergence for Emotional StabilityAdapting; Agreeableness as well as
Extraversion underpin Supporting;
Extraversion as well as Conscientiousness
underpin Striving
Larger sample replication planned

The Periodic Table of Personality (PTP)
• Proposed by Woods & Anderson (2016)
• Based on the Abridged Big Five Dimensional Circumplex
model (AB5C, Hofstee et al, 1992)
• Framework for mapping scales from personality inventories to
the Big Five
• Enables comparison of scales

Lack of research to
date locating HDS /
MVPI scales on PTP
Aims of the current study
• Check the HPI cell locations on a different sample
• Better understand how dark side aspects of personality as
measured by the HDS relate to the Big Five
• Explore the usefulness of the Periodic Table of Personality for
values based assessments such as the MVPI

Construct Validation Study
128 professionals and managers (51 male, 77 female; Median age
50, range 20-79) completed:
• Trait Descriptive Adjectives (TDA)
• Personality & Preference Inventory (PAPI 3 – see previous paper)
• Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
• Hogan Development Survey (HDS)
• Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI)
34

Method
Following the approach of Woods & Anderson (2016) Principal
Components Analysis (PCA) was used to create orthogonal Big 5
regression scores from TDA items. Analysis was carried out on a
larger sample (N = 1,213) to increase robustness of marker scores.
Correlations were calculated between TDA Big Five regression
scores as well as the sum of these (Big 5 sum) and:
• HPI scale scores
• HDS scale scores
• MVPI scale scores
• Summary scores across scale scores within each assessment

Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI)
Measure of normal personality (bright side)
206 items, True / False response scale
Based on Big 5 model of personality with:
36
•
Emotional stability measured by Adjustment
•
Extraversion split into Sociability and Ambition
•
Agreeableness measured by Interpersonal Sensitivity
•
Conscientiousness measured by Prudence
•
Openness split into Inquisitive and Learning Approach

Hypotheses HPI
For HPI, expect sizeable correlations between the seven
primary scales and their Big 5 counterpart:
•
•
•
•
•
37
Adjustment – Emotional stability
Sociability and Ambition – Extraversion
Interpersonal Sensitivity – Agreeableness
Prudence – Conscientious
Inquisitive and Learning Approach – Openness

Summary
In conclusion
HPI and HDS scales converge with relevant TDA scales
•
HPI highly converges with TDA Sum – GFP?
•
HDS Moving Against scales correlated positively with TDA Sum
•
HDS Moving Away scales correlated negatively with TDA Sum
•
HDS Moving Towards scales correlated positively with TDA Agreeableness
MVPI correlation patterns are more varied, but largely in line with
expectations
An avenue for future research would be to look at replicating the
preliminary findings of this study with a larger sample

“When an evaluatively unbalanced set of descriptors such as the Big Five adjectival markers
(Goldberg, 1992) is subjected to a simple structure rotation algorithm, the resulting factors
almost invariably end up contrasting positive versus negative descriptors (Goldberg, 1992).”

Valuing certain personality traits more than others
First researched by Peabody (1967)
Largely ignored in psychometrics
Affected by unbalanced valence in the wording of items from opposite polarities
Also affected by lack of direct measurement of “undesirable” traits

Lumina Spark 40 Qualities
Adaptive and Maladaptive
Confident (revisited)
Maladaptive form of ES+ might converge with ES-
To be confirmed through mapping adaptive and maladaptive forms separately
Assessing the Adaptive and Maladaptive forms separately confirms this explanation, with the adaptive
form of Confident loading as expected, and maladaptive Confident drawing onto ES-.
Other Rejected Hypotheses
Of the other unexpected loadings, their adaptive or maladaptive counterparts all loaded as expected,
suggesting that for some facets of personality, valence could affect location on the Periodic Table.

Conclusions
Reduced evaluative bias by bifurcating Big Five Factors into discrete polarities and assessing
adaptive and maladaptive forms
Additionally provides greater construct validity through an increased fidelity
More comprehensive coverage of the Periodic Table of Personality
Further research to be done on affect of valence on location on Periodic Table through crossvalidation of the current study
Extra items to be developed and tested in order to align the qualities with expected factors
and improve construct validity
