GFP is heritable, but what is it?

In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion on the (non)existence of a general factor of personality (GFP). Some claims have been made for a general factor of all personality traits, but there have also been some critiques of the construct. Some authors believe it is time to consider what is...

Some claims have been made for a general factor of all personality traits, but there have also been some critiques of the construct. Some authors believe it is time to consider what is a general factor and how to estimate it. The aim of this study was to try and replicate previous studies of heritability of GFP in a sample of Croatian twins. Data on personality, measured by NEO-FFI, was collected from 339 twin pairs (105 MZ and 234 DZ), aged between 15 and 22 years. The GFP was formed as a first unrotated factor, with factor loadings in line with those obtained in previous studies. Intraclass correlations on GFP were 0.66 for MZ and 0.24 for DZ twins, indicating a dominance effect. Univariate analysis, performed in Mx, indicated that genetic factors contributed around 66% to individual differences in GFP. Additional analyses were performed on the phenotypic level, as proposed by Revelle and Wilt (2012). Exploratory factor analysis approach to finding ωh through a Schmid-Leiman transformation has shown that explained common variance of the GFP was only 22% and ωh was 0.20. Results will be interpreted in line with some critiques of procedures used for estimating the GFP.
