Previous studies have shown the main relations between the NEO-PI-R and the ZKPQ with a dimensional measure of personality pathology, the DAPP-BQ. The present research was designed to compare the associations between the shortened versions of the NEO-PI-R (NEO-FFI-R) and the ZKPQ (ZKPQ-50-CC) in the prediction of the DAPP-BQ scales. The sample was formed by 610 non-clinicial participants with a mean age of 39.51 (Sd = 15.67) (48.5% females and 51.5% males). We performed different hierarchical and LOESS regressions predicting the four factors of the DAPP-BQ. With a principal component analysis and procrustes rotation the main DAPP-BQ structure of four factors was replicated, as the individual relations between questionnaires. Each instrument explained around 30% of the DAPP-BQ factors, less Compulsiveness were a significant difference was found between the NEO-FFI-R and ZKPQ-50-CC predictions. The results were discussed in base of the theoretical constructs that support each personality model.
