- Abstract
The ability of the Big Five personality traits to predict supervisors‟ ratings of performance was investigated using the Orpheus personality questionnaire. Orpheus is a broad spectrum work-based personality questionnaire containing 190 items. It generates scores on 16 scales – 5 major scales, 7 minor scales, and 4 audit scales. The major scales are fellowship, authority, conformity, emotion, and detail and are based on the Big Five model of personality. The minor scales are proficiency, work-orientation, patience, fair-mindedness, loyalty, disclosure, and initiative, and are based on the Prudentius model of integrity. The 4 response audits are dissimulation, ambivalence, despondency, and inattention, and are designed to screen for inappropriate responding. Supervisors‟ ratings of 245 participants in a variety of occupations and employment settings were obtained from the Orpheus respondents. All of the Big Five traits were found to have significant correlations with appropriate supervisors‟ ratings.
