Ian J. Deary on Five-Factor Model - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 90
Five-Factor Model/personality psychology/Deary: VsFive-Factor model: the model has been questioned, regarding whether it captures the major sources of human personality variation. For example, from Paunonen’s (2002)(1) ‘supernumerary personality inventory’, Ashton and Lee (e.g., Ashton and Lee 2005(2); Lee and Ashton 2006(3)) provided evidence for Honesty-Humility’s being an additional important and relatively separate trait from the five.
Going in the other direction, DeYoung (2006)(4) has emphasized that the Big Five are not orthogonal, and that higher-order traits (named Stability and Plasticity) – though not based on especially strong correlations – could be important when it comes to biological theories of personality.
