Psychological Theories on Personality - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 135 Personality/psychological theories/p-factor/De Raad: It makes sense to identify (…)a single basic [unrotated] factor, called p-factor by Hofstee (2001)(1) who made a parallel with the structure of intelligence. The p-factor draws its meaning from the positive manifold among the large majority of personality traits (cf., Hofstee and Ten Berge 2004(2)). Arguments for a single general personality factor have previously been given by Webb (1915)(3), who tried to identify a general factor of character next to a general factor of intelligence (‘g’), and defined it as the ‘sum of all personal qualities which are not distinctly intellectual’ (Webb 1915(3), p. 2). 1.
