Two studies were conducted to investigate redundancy between the character strengths found in the VIA model of character and familiar personality facets. Study 1 used a community sample ( = 606) that completed a measure of character strengths, four personality inventories, and 17 criterion measures. The second study used Mechanical Turk workers ( = 498) who completed measures of the HEXACO and VIA models and 111 criterion variables. Analyses were conducted using both observed scores and true score estimates, evaluating both predictive and conceptual overlap. Eight of 24 VIA scales proved to be largely redundant with one HEXACO personality facet, but only one VIA scale (Appreciation of Beauty) was largely redundant with Five Factor facets. All strength scales except Spirituality overlapped substantially with at least one personality facet. The results suggest the VIA Classification variables are strongly related to commonly measured personality facets, but the two models are not redundant.
两项研究旨在探究 VIA 性格模型中的性格优势与熟悉的人格特质之间是否存在冗余。研究 1 采用了社区样本（n=606），他们完成了性格优势量表、四个人格量表和 17 个效标测量。第二项研究使用 Mechanical Turk 工人（n=498），他们完成了 HEXACO 和 VIA 模型以及 111 个效标变量的测量。分析同时使用了观察得分和真实得分估计，评估了预测和概念上的重叠。24 个 VIA 量表中有 8 个与 HEXACO 的一个人格特质维度高度相关，但只有一个 VIA 量表（美感）与五因素人格特质维度高度相关。除了精神性之外，所有的优势量表都与至少一个人格特质维度有很大的重叠。结果表明，VIA 分类变量与常用的人格特质维度密切相关，但这两个模型并不冗余。
