“…It has been suggested that the relation between Neuroticism and intelligence arises due to the test-taking situation (i.e., higher test anxiety leads to lower cognitive performance [108]). However, our results based on the FFM facets (Study 1) did not support this assumption, as we found no evidence for a specific correlation between anxiety and cognitive abilities (see also [51]). In summary, the Brunswik symmetry principle seems to be less or not beneficial for these personality-intelligence relations, which can be generally considered as non-existent or weak.…”

“…In summary, it seems worthwhile to consider the Brunswik symmetry principle when investigating the relation between personality and intelligence. Although there are further examples in the literature which provide fragmental evidence (e.g., [27,46,47,48,49,50,51]), there is no systematic examination of the utility of the Brunswik symmetry principle with regard to personality-intelligence relations, yet. It has to be stressed here that the Brunswik symmetry principle does not explain the existence of personality-intelligence correlations but rather helps to optimize the empirical foundations for exploring such estimates.…”

Personality and intelligence are defined as hierarchical constructs, ranging from broad g-factors to (domain-)specific constructs. The present study investigated whether different combinations of hierarchical levels lead to different personality-intelligence correlations. Based on the integrative data analysis approach, we combined a total of five data sets. The focus of the first study (N = 682) was an elaborated measurement of personality (NEO-PI-R), which was applied with a relatively short intelligence test (Intelligence Structure Test 2000 R). In the second study (N = 413), a comprehensive measurement of intelligence (Berlin Intelligence Structure test) was used with a shorter personality questionnaire (NEO-FFI). In line with the Brunswik symmetry principle, the findings emphasize that personality-intelligence correlations varied greatly across the hierarchical levels of constructs considered in the analysis. On average, Openness showed the largest relation with intelligence. We recommend for future studies to investigate personality-intelligence relations at more fine-grained levels based on elaborated measurements of both personality and intelligence.

“…Although the primary interest in this study was in HR reactivity during tasks and not performance on those tasks, we did find that our observed patterns of reactivity were independent of performance, which was also unrelated to HR in both tasks. Given that extraversion has been shown to be related to performance in adults, these findings are unexpected [ 29 , 36 , 37 ]. However, we used a smaller sample and different measures than those previously reported.…”

Age and extraversion differences in heart rate reactivity during working memory tasks

2021

Research and theory have shown a link between heart rate reactivity during cognitive testing and extraversion in younger adults; however, similar work has not been conducted with older adults. This study was designed to explore age and extraversion-related differences in within-person heart rate (HR) reactivity during two working memory tasks of varying difficulty using a multi-level modeling approach. Across 570 total within-person assessments of continuous HR monitoring, 28 younger adults (M = 19.76, SD = 1.15) and 29 older adults (M = 71.19, SD = 6.63) were administered two working memory tasks (backward digit span and n-back). There were no age differences in reactivity during the backward digit span. However, similar to previous findings, on the more difficult n-back task, younger adults low in extraversion showed a trend toward higher HR reactivity than young adults high in extraversion. Interestingly, the older adults showed the opposite pattern in that lower extraversion older adults were less reactive than the higher extraversion older adults who showed the steepest increase in HR. The HR increase of the older adults high in extraversion may be an indication of higher engagement in this more difficult task. Individual differences in extraversion need to be taken into account when administering working memory tasks in older adults.

“…Prior cross-sectional work on the Big Five correlates of education level and IQ has found that Openness to Experience shows the most robust associations with education level and IQ (e.g., Bartels et al, 2012;Osmon et al, 2018;Rammstedt et al, 2016;Rammstedt et al, 2018;Sutin et al, 2011;von Stumm et al, 2009). However, there is very little longitudinal research on whether education level or IQ are associated with personality development (Löckenhoff et al, 2008;Sutin et al, 2017).…”

A large body of research has documented how personality develops across adulthood, yet very little longitudinal work has examined whether these findings generalize beyond predominantly middle-class, highly-educated White American or Western European individuals. This pre-registered study uses longitudinal data from 1,110 Mexican-origin adults who completed a well-validated personality measure, the Big Five Inventory, up to 6 times across 12 years. Individuals generally maintained their rank ordering on the Big Five over time (rs=.66-.80), and the relative ordering of the Big Five within persons was also highly stable (rs=.58-.66). All of the Big Five traits showed small, linear mean-level decreases across adulthood. These trajectories showed few associations with sociodemographic factors (sex, education level, and IQ) and cultural factors (generational status, age at immigration, Spanish/English language preference, Mexican cultural values, American cultural values, and ethnic discrimination). The statistically significant findings we did observe mostly concerned associations between cultural values and Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Openness. Acquiescence bias was also positively associated with Big Five personality trait scores at every wave. There was no evidence of mean-level change in the Big Five when including time-varying acquiescence scores as covariates in the models. Divergences between the present findings and previous research highlight the need to study personality development with more diverse aging samples.
