Resumen de Prediction of self- and observer report scores on HEXACO-60 and NEO-FFI scales

Kibeom Lee, Michael C. Ashton

• We investigated the validity of two personality inventories�the NEO-FFI and HEXACO-60�in predicting scores on each of the factor scales of the other instrument, both within and between sources of data. We also examined the extent to which the source-specific variances of the scales of each inventory are attributable to a common factor of response bias. Results (N = 660) showed that the HEXACO-60 scales collectively predicted all of the NEO-FFI scales rather well, but that the NEO-FFI scales showed limited validity in predicting HEXACO-60 Honesty�Humility and Emotionality. Also, the NEO-FFI scales contained considerably larger source or bias factors (especially in self-report) than did the HEXACO-60 scales. We discuss implications for studies of the predictive validities of the instruments.
