Details

The data regards the 'Big 5' Personality traits- agreeableness, openness, extraversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness. The items are based on a 6 point response scale: 1 Very Inaccurate 2 Moderately Inaccurate 3 Slightly Inaccurate 4 Slightly Accurate 5 Moderately Accurate 6 Very Accurate. This is the same as the bfi data set in the psych package, except with reverse coded items already reversed as they would need to be for scoring purposes. More details can be found at the bfi help file.
