Reply to Eysenck

Publication ,  Journal Article
Costa, PT; McCrae, RR
Published in: Personality and Individual Differences
January 1, 1992

In this response to Eysenck's comments we argue that a contemporary review of the literature would favor the five-factor model; we attempt to explain the observed correlations between scales that measure different factors; and we reiterate our view that the systematic description of personality must precede, not follow, personality theory. © 1992.
