The Personality Web at facet level: network graph of correlational relationships between the 30 facets of the NEO-PI-R.

<p>The community structure of this graph has an overall best fit with the confirmatory 5-FS, occurring at r>0.271, p<4.89 E-09. See <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051558#pone-0051558-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a> for significances and correlation coefficients. Node = facet, link = significant correlation. Red links: positive correlations. Blue links: negative correlations. The thickness of the links represents the strength of the correlation. For further information, see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0051558#pone-0051558-t004" target="_blank">Table 4B</a>. n = neuroticism, e = extraversion, o = openness, a = agreeableness, c = conscientiousness. Numbers refer to facet number. Nodes are positioned in clusters according to their factor membership (standard 5-FS). The color of nodes denotes their network cluster membership. Only two facets show a mismatch with the standard 5-FS (n5 and n2). Both mismatches involve the neuroticism dimension depicted below in red. These facets have strong correlations with facets from the conscientiousness cluster (blue) and the agreeableness cluster (green), as can be observed by the thickness of the corresponding links. As a result, n5 is “drawn” into the conscientiousness cluster and n2 into the agreeableness cluster.
