We review progress on an important scientific issue--how attributes of personality and character can best be organized and structured. We explain the rationale for studies of the language of personality, and then review the most salient findings from lexical studies of person-descriptors in 16 languages. Using a wide range of criteria for the value of a structural model, we compare prominent lexically derived models. We conclude that one- and two-factor structures are not only the most parsimonious but also the most easily replicated across cultures. Although structures with more factors (e.g. the Big Five) have a predictive advantage, there is currently uncertainty over whether a lexical model of five, six, or seven factors is more cross-culturally generalizable. It will be desirable to develop a multi-level structural model with specific facets as well as independent, broad factors, and a structural model that goes beyond conventionally defined personality traits to include a wider range of individual differences.
