We extracted General Factors of Personality (GFPs) from inventories based on the Big Five model and on Eysenck's Giant Three model within one sample (N=274). The GFPs from the two inventories showed considerable overlap, ranging from .52 to .67 (in absolute values). The mean intercorrelation was r=60. Moreover, the GFPs showed strong overlap with measures of trait emotional intelligence (r mean=72). These correlations remained substantial even after we controlled for social desirability bias. Overall, the pattern of results supports the notion of the GFP as a construct that is consistent across different measures and that is closely related to the construct of trait emotional intelligence.
