Values in the diagonal of the monomethod blocks are empirical reliabilities. AG = agreeableness; CO = conscientiousness; ES = emotional stability; EX = extraversion; OE = openness to experience; SDR = social desirability; ACQ = acquiescence; GSQ = graded scale questionnaire; FCQ = forced-choice questionnaire.
