Cultural variation of the Big 5 personality traits

Gene Expression has been presenting (via multiple posts) an interesting integration of phenotypic variatic of personality traits, as per the Big 5 theory, across different global cultures. Although personality research is a bit off-task for IQs Corner, I've had an ongoing interest in the Big 5 theory given that its empirical birth is similar to that of the CHC Theory of Cognitive Abilities (namely, draws heavily from factor analytic research)
