The creative personality or General Factor of Personality? Integrating the Big Five personality traits to predict creativity

Peiqian Wu Dimitri van der Linden Saifang Liu Curtis S. Dunkel Mengyun Wang

Creativity has been found to be a fundamental factor in innovation and generating new knowledge and to be influenced by personality. The present study innovatively tested the personality-creativity relationship resorted to the General Factor of Personality (GFP). For a comprehensive and unbiased estimation of the target relation, multiple measures were used, and common method bias was controlled for. The results displayed that the GFP was consistently related to creative self-belief (above .40), other rated creative performance (above .40), and objective tests measured divergent (.31) and convergent (.40) thinking skills. Based on the findings, the present study concludes that the GFP comprehensively profiles creative personalities. In addition, the present study also found that the GFP correlated with creative traits (.75) higher than creative abilities (.36), based on which, we issued a division of creative traits vs creative abilities. The reason for all found correlations can be attributed to that the GFP is the most comprehensive personality structure encapsulating social characteristics. Because of that, the GFP can address as much as possible components of creativity. Suggestions for practical implications and future studies were discussed.

The general factor of personality and job performance: Revisiting previous meta‐analyses

International Journal of Selection and Assessment (2017)

Dirk H. M. Pelt Dimitri van der Linden Curtis S. Dunkel Marise Ph. Born

The relationship between the General Factor of Personality (GFP) and several work‐related outcomes such as job performance and organizational citizenship behavior was examined using meta‐analytic data. Confirmatory factor analyses showed sizeable relationships between the GFP and various performance indicators ( = .34), larger than for any of the Big Five dimensions. Controlling for social desirability did not change the relationship between the GFP and job performance. Moreover, regression analyses showed that the GFP accounted for a larger part of the explained variance in the outcome measures than the unique variances of the Big Five. The results add to the evidence for the GFP as a social effectiveness factor and highlight the validity of the GFP in organizational contexts.

Early childhood social responsiveness predicts the general factor of personality in early adolescence

Infant and Child Development (2019)

Curtis S. Dunkel Dimitri van der Linden T. Kawamoto

Abstract Positively valenced personality traits are positively correlated, forming a general factor of personality or GFP. A leading interpretation of the GFP is that it reflects social effectiveness. Accordingly, the GFP has been associated with positive social outcomes in adolescence. Yet little is known about its developmental origins. Given that the GFP is partially heritable, it was hypothesized that childhood social engagement would predict the GFP in early adolescence. Archived data from the Colorado Adoption Project were used to test this hypothesis. Using combinations of self and other ratings of personality, and adopting a range of different statistical techniques, confirmed that responsiveness to and fear of (inversely) strangers during the first 4 years of age predicted the GFP at age 12. Future research examining the possible developmental origins of the GFP is prescribed. Highlights Can the general factor of personality be predicted by early childhood temperament? Sociability toward strangers in the first four years was associated with the general factor of personality in early adolescence. The results point to the foundations of the general factor of personality.
