Abstract

Abstract: A self-rating checklist of 244 Chinese personality traits was composed by means of regular distance sampling from the Chinese personality KeyWords pool collected by Wang et al(1996). A sample of 601 Chinese college students participated in the self description rating. lt was shown that 7-factor solution could represent the basic dimension of Chinese personality traits. The seven dimensions used by students for self-rating were labeled as (1) Negative Valence 1(VAL-N1): Hypocritical & Boastful, (2) Positive Valence (VAL-P): Steady & Responsible, (3) Negative Valence 2 (VAL-N2): Moronic & Clumsy, (4) Negative Introverted Emotionality (EMO-N1 ): Sentimental, (5) Positive Extroverted Emotionality (EMO-PE): Warmhearted & Lovable, (6) Negative Extroverted Emotionality(EMO-NE): lrritable & Moody, (7) Positive lntroverted Emotionality (EMO-PI): Carefree & lndifferent. The first three factors are value assessment related and the other four factors are emotional elements.
