Note. N = 419. Congruence for overall solution = .86; congruence for individual factors = 0.86 for Neuroticism, 0.82 for Extraversion, 0.82 for Openness, 0.84 for Agreeableness and 0.87 for Conscientiousness. Items 8 and 48 (both Openness) removed due to minimal loadings on Openness. N = Neuroticism, E = Extraversion, O = Openness, A = Agreeableness, C = Conscientiousness. Item loadings on intended factor are bolded.
