“…This model helps to explain why GCA is predictive of a wide variety of different types of performance, including job performance. This model is a refinement of work by Spearman (1904Spearman ( , 1927 and Holzinger (1935Holzinger ( , 1944 and numerous subsequent factor analytic studies have confirmed the theory [cf.

Our objective was to apply the rigorous test developed by Browne (1992) to determine whether the circumplex model fits Big Five personality data. This test has yet to be applied to personality data. Another objective was to determine whether blended items explained correlations among the Big Five traits. We used two working adult samples, the Eugene-Springfield Community Sample and the Professional Worker Career Experience Survey. Fit to the circumplex was tested via Browne's (1992) procedure. Circumplexes were graphed to identify items with loadings on multiple traits (blended items), and to determine whether removing these items changed five-factor model (FFM) trait intercorrelations. In both samples, the circumplex structure fit the FFM traits well. Each sample had items with dual-factor loadings (8 items in the first sample, 21 in the second). Removing blended items had little effect on construct-level intercorrelations among FFM traits. We conclude that rigorous tests show that the fit of personality data to the circumplex model is good. This finding means the circumplex model is competitive with the factor model in understanding the organization of personality traits. The circumplex structure also provides a theoretically and empirically sound rationale for evaluating intercorrelations among FFM traits. Even after eliminating blended items, FFM personality traits remained correlated.

“…A confirmatory factor analysis, using the OLS criterion (Anderson and Gerbing, 1982;Holzinger, 1944;Hunter and Gerbing, 1982), was performed to assess and validate the measurement model of the functions of community and patronage behavior. Analyses of parallelism for the measurement items for socializing revealed that two indicators (i.e., items related to food products) varied widely in their correlations with the study's other variables.…”

“…Respecto al primero, se aplicó un análisis factorial confirmatorio oblicuo de grupo múltiple, OMG (Oblique Multiple Group; Gorsuch, 1983;Holzinger, 1944;Nunnally & Bernstein, 1995) para verificar la estructura configuracional del MBI mediante detección de ítems que no se ajustan a su escala (Stuive, Kiers, Timmerman & Ten Berge, 2008;Stuive, Kiers & Timmerman, 2009). El método de extracción fue el de factores comunes, dado la finalidad de estimar las relaciones de los ítems con sus constructos de interés (Fabrigar, Wegener, MacCallum & Strahan, 1999).…”
