Convergence of Alternative Five Factor Model with Five Factor Model of Personality

This study was designed to investigate the convergence of Alternative Five and Big Five Factor models of personality on Indian sample. To realize the main objective, 202 subjects with the age ranging from 19 to 28 years were selected from various PG departments of K.U.K. (Haryana). The subjects were tested with NEO-Five Factor Inventory and Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire after proper rapport. Obtained data were analysed by using descriptive statistics and Pearson's correlations. Results have revealed the significant correlations among the personality factors and support the convergence of both the models. Neuroticism has correlated positively with Aggression-Hostility, Impulsive-Sensation Seeking and Neuroticism-Anxiety; and negatively with Activity and Sociability. Extraversion has marked significant positive relationship correlation with Activity and Sociability; and negatively with Aggression-Hostility and Neuroticism-Anxiety. Openness to Experience has correlated positively with Activity and Sociability; and negative with Aggression-Hostility, Impulsive Sensation Seeking, and Neuroticism-Anxiety. Agreeableness has negatively correlated with Aggression-Hostility, Impulsive-Sensation Seeking, and Neuroticism-Anxiety; and positively with Activity and Sociability. Conscientiousness has marked significant positive relationship with Activity and Sociability; and negative with Aggression-Hostility, Impulsive-Sensation Seeking, and Neuroticism-Anxiety.
