•Polish adaptation of IPIP-45AB5C questionnaire shows good reliability and validity.•Personality traits operationalized in the Five Factor Model and the AB5C model are basically the same.•Circumplex structure of lower order personality traits predicted by the AB5C model was confirmed.
According to the Abridged Big Five-Dimensional Circumplex (AB5C) model (Hofstee, De Raad, & Goldberg, 1992), there are five basic personality traits (similar to the hierarchical Five Factor Model; Costa & McCrae, 1992); however, the lower-level traits are organized in a circular way (in contrast to the hierarchical Five Factor Model). This study was conducted to verify the two main hypotheses assumed by the AB5C model: (1) the basic traits conceptualized in the hierarchical and circular models are similar, and (2) the lower-order traits of the AB5C model are circularly organized. The research was conducted in Poland on a group of 913 participants. The first hypothesis was verified in an analysis of multi-trait multi-method matrix. The second hypothesis was verified in second-order confirmatory factor analysis.
