Poster summary

The rugby cake model in the shape of triaxial ellipsoid was previously proposed to structure personality trait terms (Putilov, 2016, 2018). In this structural representation of personality lexicon, six largest factorial dimensions of personality are visualized as pairwise combinations of just three spatial dimensions that are unequal in length, possibly, due to inequality of their importance for personality perception. The present study was aimed on 1) selection of the words-markers of broad personality traits representing six largest factorial dimensions and 2) spatial location of these words on the surface of 3-D shape. By applying factor analysis with varimax rotation to the responses of 1023 volunteers to the list of 172 personality-relevant nouns, 36 words-markers of six broad personality traits were selected from nouns with the highest loadings on six rotated factors, and these words were visualized by their mapping on the surface of 3-D structural representation of Russian personality lexicon.
