Abstract
Eleven samples of subjects averaging 1010 in each, covering different countries (U.S.A., Germany, New Zealand, Venezuela and Brazil), classes and each sex, were measured on the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire. Correlations among the scales were carried to second order factors of high mutual congruence and therefore identification in previous researches. Two studies, including seven extra primaries, yield 4 secondaries than the 8 in the rest.
