Contributions to the history of psychology .100. Some early precursors of five personality factors

Journal/Book: Psychol Rep. 1995; 77: P O Box 9229, Missoula, MT 59807. Psychological Reports. 83-88.

Abstract: Fiske was perhaps the first to describe a five-factor model of personality, in 1949. He noted that the factors were common to several sources. This gives an implication of invariance or permanence to factors which might suggest a continuity in their appearance from the beginning of factor analysis. Presented are descriptions of factors from the early studies of Webb, Garnett, Burt, McDonough, Cattell, Guilford and Guilford, and McNamara and Darley.
