Where these ideas come from

The fun part of your report borrows four ideas that many people know. These are the papers and books behind each one. The words here are the authors' own, so they are harder than the rest of Knoi.

Your four letters

    267 men and 201 women, reported as separate columns of Table 3, never pooled: with Extraversion, E/I r = -.74 (men) / -.69 (women); with Openness, S/N .72 / .69; with Agreeableness, T/F .44 / .46; with Conscientiousness, J/P -.49 / -.46 (scales scored toward I, N, F, P).

    N = 160; same four pairings; the facets named above; Neuroticism matched no MBTI scale.

    N = 900; E .71 / I -.72 with Extraversion; N .64 / S -.66 with Openness; F .28 / T -.41 with Agreeableness; J .46 / P -.46 with Conscientiousness.

  • Furnham, A. (2022). The Big Five facets and the MBTI: the relationship between the 30 NEO-PI(R) facets and the four Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) scores. Psychology, 13(10), 1504-1516. https://doi.org/10.4236/psych.2022.1310095

    N = 9,487 managers; the same four pairings held but far weaker at domain level (E/I with Extraversion .20; T/F with Agreeableness -.35). Cited as a caution, not used in the map.

The Enneagram

  • Hook, J. N., Hall, T. W., Davis, D. E., Van Tongeren, D. R., & Conner, M. (2021). The Enneagram: A systematic review of the literature and directions for future research. Journal of Clinical Psychology, 77(4), 865-883. https://doi.org/10.1002/jclp.23097

    104 independent samples, mixed evidence of reliability and validity; nine studies related the types to the Big Five and the signatures here are the patterns that held in more than half of them, with counts.

  • Newgent, R. A., Parr, P. E., Newman, I., & Higgins, K. K. (2004). The Riso-Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator: Estimates of reliability and validity. Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, 36(4), 226-237. https://doi.org/10.1080/07481756.2004.11909744

    N = 287; every RHETI type correlated with at least one NEO-PI-R factor; alphas .56-.82; factor analysis found Big Five-like factors, not nine.

  • Sutton, A., Allinson, C., & Williams, H. (2013). Personality type and work-related outcomes: An exploratory application of the Enneagram model. European Management Journal, 31(3), 234-249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.emj.2012.12.001

    N = 416, self-typed; each type had a distinct Big Five, values and motives pattern.

  • Bartram, D., & Brown, A. (2005). Putting the person into personality: SHL short research report 2005. SHL Group.

    N = 241, self-typed, Big Five (OPQ32); one of the nine studies in the review.

How you are when you are close to someone

    Study 1 (BFI, N = 8,318): anxiety with N .42, E -.15, O -.07, A -.19, C -.23; avoidance with N .14, E -.21, O -.09, A -.22, C -.20. Study 2 (NEO-PI-R, N = 285): anxiety with N .52, C -.34; avoidance with E -.26, C -.23, N .17, O -.16. Big Five R-squared for the two dimensions .25 and .12.

    the two-dimension model (anxiety, avoidance).

    attachment is dimensional, not categorical.

How you like to be shown love

    the five options, and only the five options.

    no support for the matching effect; all five expressions tied to satisfaction; forced-choice measure unstable.

The group we compare you with

  • Johnson, J. A. IPIP-NEO data repository: the IPIP-NEO-300 public sample (307,313 screened protocols, answered online). Open Science Framework. https://osf.io/tbmh5/

    the calibration sample. Every item in the bank was calibrated on it, so the line down the middle of every chart in a report is this sample's mean and one step on the scale is one of its standard deviations. Self-selected and answered online, most respondents young and English-speaking: a group we compare with, not the population, and no rank in it is reported.

The names of the parts we measure

  • Johnson, J. A. (2014). Measuring thirty facets of the Five Factor Model with a 120-item public domain inventory: Development of the IPIP-NEO-120. Journal of Research in Personality, 51, 78-89.

    the facet codes N1-C6 used in this file are the IPIP-NEO facets the bank measures; NEO-PI-R names differ in places (E1 warmth = friendliness, O5 ideas = intellect, C6 deliberation = cautiousness).
