A Meta-analysis of the Relationship between Cognitive Intelligence and the Big Five Assessed by Quasi-Ipsative Forced-choice Personality Inventories: Implications for Predicting Job Performance

This article presents a meta-analysis of the relationship between cognitive intelligence (CI) and the Big Five assessed by quasi-ipsative forced-choice inventories (QIFC). The results showed small effect sizes between CI and the Big Five, assessed with QIFC inventories, ranging from ρ = -.02 to ρ =...

description This article presents a meta-analysis of the relationship between cognitive intelligence (CI) and the Big Five assessed by quasi-ipsative forced-choice inventories (QIFC). The results showed small effect sizes between CI and the Big Five, assessed with QIFC inventories, ranging from ρ = -.02 to ρ = .10. It has been found that only openness to experience shares validity with CI, showing slight moderate correlations (ρ = .18). Moreover, the multiple regression analysis carried out indicated that personality increases its incremental validity over CI for predicting job performance. Lastly, the contributions and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
