The Five-Factor Model (ffm) of personality predominates in the scientific literature, and the Big Five Inventory (bfi) is one of its main evaluations. Considering the limitations of previous studies, the aim of the present study was to explore the dimensionality of the bfi assessment instrument, to test higherorder factors and to analyze its relations with self-esteem, age, and sex of the participants. A total of 549 university students participated. The results showed adequate psychometric properties for the bfi and for the two-factor model of higher order personality traits. In addition, significant differences were observed by sex in terms of agreeableness and neuroticism, relationships between age, neuroticism, and conscientiousness, as well as relationships between both higher order factors and self-esteem.
