The measurement of Human Life History strategy (2013, background): “…noted, the General Factor of Personality (GFP) predicted by Rushton has now been extracted from over 24 different personality inventories (Rushton & Irwing, 2011), is robust to meta-analysis (van der Linden, Scholte, Cillessen, te Nijenhuis, & Segers, 2010), and exhibits a heritability…”
Integrating psychological and cultural perspectives on virtue: The hierarchical structure of character strengths (2015, background): “…Character dimension bears resemblance to the General Factor of Personality that has been identified in research on personality, which is characterized at the high end by extraversion, emotional stability, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness (e.g. Musek, 2007; Rushton & Irwing, 2011).”
The General Factor of Personality (GFP) as social effectiveness: Review of the literature. (2016, methodology): “For ex- ample, large meta-analyses have now confirmed the presence of the GFP in self and other reported Big Five measures (Rushton & Irwing, 2011; Van der Linden, Te Nijenhuis et al., 2010).”
A Cybernetic Theory of Psychopathology (2018, background): “In normal personality measures, the general factor is weaker and appears to be an artifact of the biases of individual raters, as it disappears when using scores from multiple raters (Chang, Connelly, & Geeza, 2012; DeYoung, 2006; McCrae et al., 2008; Revelle & Wilt, 2013).”
Overlap between General Factors of Personality in the Big Five, Giant Three, and trait emotional intelligence (2012, unknown): “In addition, the GFP has also been identified in many other personality measures that are not based on the Big Five (see Rushton & Irwing, 2011 for a review).”
The Circumplex of Personality Metatraits: A Synthesizing Model of Personality Based on the Big Five (2014, methodology): “…above the five personality traits, there is a level of two higher-order traits, and still above this, at the very top of a hierarchically organized structure of personality traits, is GFP, characterized by a high (vs. low) Stability/Alpha and Plasticity/Beta (Musek, 2007; Rushton & Irwing, 2011).”
Trait emotional intelligence anchored within the Big Five, Big Two and Big One frameworks (2014, background): “This factor is the apex of the hierarchy of personality (e.g., Rushton & Irwing, 2011), the same way that ‘‘g’’ is located at the highest level in the hierarchy of cognitive abilities (Carroll, 1993).”
