Astrology Versus Astronomy: Comments on Ashton and Lee

摘要

We suggest that it is time to go beyond the lexical hypothesis and Big 5/Big 6 arguments and focus on narrower domains including at the item level. Lexical descriptive approaches are as if astrologers debate the number of constellations. We want to go beyond broad groupings and report the utility of analyzing data at the item level and lower level factors. Rather than debating constellations around the campfire, we should research the ever-accelerating universe or try to discover new planets. (C) 2020 European Association of Personality Psychology
