Despite being significantly correlated, there is evidence to suggest that the scales measuring Agreeableness from the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) do not capture identical constructs. More specifically, NEO PI-R Agreeableness contains content related to "honesty and humility" that is not contained by the BFI. In a sample of undergraduates (N = 290), the authors compared the correlations between these two measures of Agreeableness with traits from the HEXACO-PI-R as well as measures of narcissism, narcissistic personality disorder, and psychopathy. As expected, the two scores were significantly correlated but NEO PI-R Agreeableness manifested stronger correlations with the domains/facets of Honesty-Humility, narcissism/NPD, and aspects of psychopathy; these differences appear to be due primarily to the inclusion of the NEO PI-R facets of Straightforwardness and Modesty. These differences have important implications for the assessment and conceptualization of personality and personality disorder.
尽管存在显著的相关性，但有证据表明，大五人格量表（BFI）和修订版 NEO 人格量表（NEO PI-R）中测量宜人性的量表并没有捕捉到相同的结构。更具体地说，NEO PI-R 中的宜人性包含了与“诚实和谦逊”有关的内容，而 BFI 中并不包含这些内容。在一组本科生样本（N=290）中，作者比较了这两种宜人性测量方法与 HEXACO-PI-R 中的特质以及自恋、自恋型人格障碍和精神病态的相关性。正如预期的那样，这两个分数显著相关，但 NEO PI-R 中的宜人性与诚实-谦逊、自恋/NPD 和精神病态的某些方面表现出更强的相关性；这些差异似乎主要归因于 NEO PI-R 直爽和谦逊方面的纳入。这些差异对人格和人格障碍的评估和概念化具有重要意义。
