Indirect methods such as the implicit association test (IAT) could complement traditional self-report questionnaires of personality traits. However, it is unclear whether IAT scores and self-report scores of nominally the same personality trait measure the same construct or overlapping but distinct constructs. To investigate how IAT and self-report personality scores relate to each other, we conducted a web-based data collection where participants completed self-report personality questionnaires (n = 432) and IATs for extraversion (n = 393) and neuroticism (n = 385). We found that extraversion self-report and IAT scores were more strongly correlated with each other than corresponding neuroticism scores. Overall, our findings suggest that although extraversion and neuroticism self-report and implicit measures are related, they do measure distinct constructs.

诸如隐式联想测验（IAT）之类的间接方法可以补充传统的个性特征自我报告问卷。然而，目前尚不清楚名义上相同的人格特质的IAT得分和自我报告得分是衡量相同的结构还是重叠但截然不同的结构。为了研究IAT和自我报告人格分数之间的关系，我们进行了基于网络的数据收集，参与者完成了自我报告人格问卷（n  = 432）和IAT的外向性（n  = 393）和神经质（n = 385）。我们发现外向型自我报告和IAT评分比相应的神经质评分更紧密相关。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，尽管外向性和神经质自我报告和内隐测度是相关的，但它们确实可以测度不同的结构。
