Using data from samples of 300 and 220 adoptive families from the Texas Adoption Project, aspects of generality of a “General Factor of Personality” (GFP) were examined: across different personality inventories, across different levels of analysis (items, scales) within an inventory, across self- and others’ judgments, and across sexes, ages, and generations. Considerable, though not complete, generality was found. The average correlation between GFPs from items and scales of a given inventory was .90; between GFPs from the scales of different inventories was .48. Also examined were the heritability of a GFP, its degree of correlation with a general cognitive factor, and its ability to predict real-life criteria such as educational level, marital stability, and substance abuse.
► Various kinds of generality of a General Factor of Personality (GFP) were examined.
► Longitudinal data from the 35-year Texas Adoption Project were used.
► GFPs were studied across ages and for different questionnaires and ratings.
► Genetically related and unrelated individuals within families were compared.
