The trait theoretic evaluation of the TEG from the view point of the Five-Factor Model

The main purpose was to investigate the TEG (Tokyo University Egogram) from the personality trait theoretic point of view based on the Five-Factor Mod el (FFM) Three kinds of the factor rotational topics were discussed in orde r. First, the Joreskog's (1965) incomplete oblique procrustes factor rotati on both for the TEG and the ACL was applied with the targets specified only for the ACL (Table 1). Second, the same type of incomplete oblique procrus tes rotation for both the TEG and the ACL were applied with the targets spe cified only for the TEG. In order to save space, only the corresponding obl ique solution for the TEG was presented together with its orthogonal one fo r comparison (Table 2). Third, the numbers of the TEG items italicized valu es in Table 1 were presented for the help of understanding the concepts of the TEG in terms of FFM (Table 3a), and also the mutual correlational relat ions were presented in terms of their corresponding orthogonally rotated ax es (Table 3b). Some related matters were described before closing discussio n.
