College students in 42 cultures identified an adult or college-age man or woman whom they knew well and rated the 10,074 targets using the third-person version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. Factor analyses within cultures showed that the normative American self-report structure was clearly replicated in most cultures, and was recognizable in all. Sex differences replicated earlier self-report results, with the most pronounced differences in progressive, Western cultures. Cross-sectional age differences for three factors followed the pattern identified in self-reports, with moderate rates of change during college age and very slow changes after age 40. These data confirm, in a different selection of cultures and with a different method of measurement, that features of personality traits are common to all human groups.
