The Eysenck Personality Inventory and three short five-factor personality inventories, the NEO Five Factor Inventory, the Berkeley Personality Profile, and the SONSO Personality Inventory, were administered in pairs to six samples of college subjects. The three samples using the Eysenck inventory each contained 300 subjects, whereas the remaining three samples contained 500 subjects each. Each sample was half women and half men. The inventories appear to have corresponding scales, often with correlations of around .70 among them. Also, measures associated with Neuroticism were weakly and negatively correlated with some measures of Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness.
