Note. Two, three, four, five, and six factor models extracted via Sunho and Lee’s Regularized Exploratory Factor Analysis (2011). One factor was significantly correlated with all accuracy measures, and the salient loadings for each such factor are shown. +s indicate positive loadings,−s indicate negative loading. Bold adjectives loaded on Openness in the six-component model and italic adjectives loaded on Friendliness. The correlated domain of the four factor structure assumed the opposite sign from the other factors, but is consistent with the other loadings, and has been inverted in this table.
