Since there has been no research using the revised NEO personality inventory (NEO-PI-R) with Taiwanese adolescents, the main objectives of this study were to examine the replicability of the five-factor model and establish a baseline profile of personality traits in this population. A total of 3396 11th graders from the city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan completed the Chinese NEO-PI-R. Using principal component analysis with varimax rotation, the dimensions of personality in this Taiwanese adolescent sample clearly replicate the five-factor structure shown in adults and support the generalizability of the five-factor model in Chinese adolescents. Women had higher neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness scores than males. The gender differences reported in our study correspond to results from other cultures which suggest that the Chinese NEO-PI-R retains the psychometric properties of other language versions.
