Abstract

We reply to Ashton and Lee's (2010) comments on our paper on the cross-cultural replicability of trait factors (De Raad et al., 2010). More specifically, we comment on the interpretation of congruence coefficients, the distinction between Agreeableness and Honesty-Humility in three languages, and the inclusion of a lexical study that has a different six-factor structure. In our view, none of the arguments given in Ashton and Lee's paper compels a change in our conclusion, based on the extensive findings of our paper, that only three factors are fully replicable across languages.
