Note. GFPP = General Factor of Pathological Personality comprising paranoid, schizoid, schizotypal, avoidant, dependent, obsessive–compulsive PD (personality), antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic; GFP = General Factor of Personality comprising agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism and openness; p = General Factor of Psychopathology comprising obsessive-compulsive BSI, anxiety, depression, phobia, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco smoking; CF = Cognitive Functioning factor comprising ACT English, ACT Mathematics, WMQ (working memory), vocabulary, similarities, block design, and CFQ; Big E = Big Everything; PD = personality disorder; BSI = Brief Symptoms Inventory; ACT = American College Test; WMQ = Working Memory Questionnaire; Vocab = vocabulary; CFQ = Cognitive Failures Questionnaire. Bifactor Big Everything cross-sectional factor loadings were obtained from Wave 6 for all constructs except cognitive functioning, which was measured at Wave 1. All bolded estimates are significant at p < .05.
