The Relation between the Nine Types Temperament Model and the Five Factor Personality Model in a Turkish Sample Group.

Aims: In this study, the probable relationships between the types and factors of the Five Factor Model of Personality (FFM), which is a contemporary personality model, and the Nine Types Temperament Model (NTTM), which is a new temperament model, were investigated. Separately, the power of some of the types of NTTM to predict the dimensions of FFM was evaluated, as well. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Place and Duration of Study: Bezmialem Vakıf University (BVU) Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic (Turkey) between June 2013 and January 2014. Methodology: The sampling of the research consists of 247 healthy volunteers. Materials of the research include the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) and The Nine Type Temperament Scale (NTTS). Results: All types of NTTM showed a significant correlation along with at least one of the FFPI factors at the level of 0.40 and above. Furthermore, the types of NTTM were determined to have predicted the dimensions of the FFPI by 34% and above. Conclusion: Significant correlations were found between the types of NTTM and the FFM factors. The results are discussed in regards to how the differences in the conceptual approach can be understood and the area of use between NTTM and FFM.

Personalidade: estudo comparativo entre dois instrumentos de avaliação / Personality: comparative study between two assessment instruments

Com o objetivo de verificar convergências entre dois modelos de avaliação da personalidade, a Escala Fatorial de Socialização e o Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade foram aplicados em 71 participantes (43 femininos/28 masculinos) com idades entre 18 e 31 anos (M = 21,11 anos, DP = 4,28), escolaridade correspondente ao Ensino Médio (n = 28) e Ensino Superior (n = 43). Os resultados demonstraram que o fator 1 da Escala Fatorial de Socialização, Amabilidade, correlacionou-se significativamente e de forma positiva com oito necessidades avaliadas pelo Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade (Assistência, Intracepção, Afago, Deferência, Afiliação, Ordem, Persistência e Mudança). Os demais fatores (Pró-Sociabilidade e Confiança) não se relacionaram significativamente com nenhuma das necessidades avaliadas pelo Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade. Diferenças significativas devido ao sexo foram encontradas em relação às necessidades de intracepção, deferência e autonomia no Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade e amabilidade na Escala Fatorial de Socialização, e nenhuma diferença foi encontrada em relação à idade. Estudos que avaliem os demais fatores do Modelo dos Cinco Grandes Fatores de Personalidade são recomendados, assim como maior amplitude etária da amostra...

With the aim to verify convergence between two models of personality assessment, the Agreeableness Scale and the Factor Personality Inventory were applied in 71 participants (43 female/28 male) aged between 18 and 31 years (M = 21.11 years, SD = 4.28), with high school (n = 28) and university grade (n = 43). The first factor of the Agreeableness Scale, cordiality, correlated significantly and positively with eight needs assessed by Factor Personality Inventory (Assistance, Intraception, Cuddling, Deference, Affiliation, Order, Permanence and Change). Other factors (pro-sociability and trust in people) did not correlate significantly with any of the needs assessed by the Factor Personality Inventory. Significant differences due to gender were found in relation to the needs intraception, deference and autonomy in the Factor Personality Inventory and cordiality in Agreeableness Scale, and in relation to age of participants differences no were found. Studies evaluating the remaining factors of the Big Five Personality Model are recommended, as well as greater age range of the sample...
