Abstract

Linkages between the abilities and personality domains are explicated from the results of a recent study, in which cross-domain correlations between 20 ability variables and 14 personality traits were obtained from a sample of 138 late adolescent males. A model designed to reveal the structure of cross-battery correlations— Tucker's interbattery factor model—was employed, and three interbattery factors were isolated. These inter-domain factors are discussed and related to earlier-discovered second-order factors in the personality domain.
