to assess six facets of conscientiousness. Data from 7,569 U.S. participants and 649 U.K. participants were analyzed to
assess the internal reliability and factorial structure of the scales. Test–retest reliability, convergent and divergent validity,
and criterion-related validity were also evaluated using a separate U.K. sample (n = 118; n = 80 for test–retest). The
results showed that those items designed to measure industriousness, order, self-control, traditionalism, and virtue were
best represented by a five-factor structure, broadly consistent with the five scales. However, the content and structure
of the responsibility scale requires further investigation. Overall, the CCS has the potential to be a useful alternative to
the faceted measures of conscientiousness that are currently available. However, future research is required to refine
a number of problematic items and to clarify which facets can be better described as interstitial dimensions between
conscientiousness and other Big Five domains.
