Abstract
This paper discusses the results of factor analyses of bipolar
markers for personality structure measurement according to
the Big-Five model (SO-BRS), and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire
(EPQ-SR) in a sample from Croatian population, as well
as the relations between those two instruments. In general, the
factor analysis of Big-Five bipolar markers proved evidence for
the five factor structure of that instrument, with some specificities
that indicate the need for further adaptation of the adjective set
for personality structure measurement according to the Big-Five
model in Croatian language. The factor analysis of Eysenck's Personality
Questionnaire proved more evidence for Neuroticism,
Extraversion and Lie factors, with less evidence for Psychoticism
factor. Less evidence for Psychoticism factor and Psychoticism
scale (low number of items with projections on intentional factor,
low reliability) indicate that the construct of Psychoticism could be
discontinued and non-unitary, as well as the need for new revision
of the short version of that scale. In general, the identification of
the relations between bipolar markers for personality structure
measurement according to the Big-Five model and Eysenck's
Personality Questionnaire confirmed the theoretical expectations,
with some specificities, concerning Psychoticism factor (EPQ-SR)
and Intellect factor (SO-BRS).
