Cognitive Abilities and Testing

Four primary studies, including samples of police officers, graduate and undergraduate students, were conducted on the bandwidth-fidelity dilemma (BFD) concerning the relationship between personality and performance. Ten independent criteria were used, including both narrow and broad measures of performance. Three hypotheses of the impact of the different combinations of personality and performance measures on validity were tested. A Schmid–Leiman transformation permitted the residualization of the variance of the five-factor model (FFM) facets and the identification of their unique contribution to the prediction of job and academic performance. The results indicated that global factors predicted broad and narrow performance. Residualized facets of the FFM did not predict broad and narrow performance, and they did not show incremental validity over the global factors. Implications for the BFD are discussed.
