The present manuscript aims to test the primary hypothesis of Dunlop, McCoy, and Staben’s (2017) study that perceivers are able to accurately form impressions of broad personality traits from reading a target’s set of personal strivings. For increased reliability, the pre-registered N = 250 perceivers rated the traits of 167 sets of strivings (each perceiver rating an average of 10 targets; each target rated by 17 perceivers) using a randomized subsection of the 44-item BFI. The present study replicated Dunlop and colleagues’ findings, which carries two implications. One: that brief descriptions of what one typically tries to accomplish each day are an additional valid source of information from which we can perceive an individual’s personality. Two: accuracy in personality perception can cross two distinct personality domains, which have been largely taxonomized and researched separately.

本手稿旨在检验 Dunlop、McCoy 和 Staben (2017)研究的主要假设，即感知者能够通过阅读目标的一系列个人努力准确地形成广泛人格特征的印象。为了提高可靠性，预先注册的N= 250 名感知者使用 44 项 BFI 的随机小节对 167 组努力的特征（每个感知者平均对 10 个目标进行评级；每个目标由 17 个感知者评级）。本研究复制了 Dunlop 及其同事的发现，这有两个含义。一：对一个人通常每天试图完成的事情的简要描述是一个额外的有效信息来源，我们可以从中感知个人的个性。二：人格感知的准确性可以跨越两个不同的人格领域，这两个领域已经在很大程度上分别进行了分类和研究。
