We adapted an existing personality-related implicit association test (IAT; Big Five IAT), while also constructed the first trait EI IAT based on Petrides\u2019 four-factor model. We investigated the psychometric properties of the implicit association test through assessing the reliability of scores and also their relationship with their corresponding explicit measures. The measures were administered to 1458 university students in Kuwait. The zero-order correlations showed that the explicit and implicit measurement approaches led to non-converging constructs in the case of both trait EI and the Big Five. Lastly, we believe that we were successfully able to introduce the concept of personality-related implicit association tests to the Kuwaiti sample. Subsequently, the IATs presented in our study will allow researchers to study a relatively new personality field, that is the implicit personality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0287013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,9]],"date-time":"2023-10-09T17:38:24Z","timestamp":1696873104000},"page":"e0287013","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The relationship between explicit and implicit personality: Evidence from the Big Five and trait emotional intelligence"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5047-865X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nasser N.","family":"Hasan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos V.","family":"Petrides","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Hull","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0287013.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1037\/13095-000","volume-title":"Assessing the implicit personality through conditional reasoning","author":"LR James","year":"2012"},{"key":"pone.0287013.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4135\/9781473914797","volume-title":"Implicit measures for social and personality psychology.","author":"LA Rudman","year":"2011"},{"issue":"6","key":"pone.0287013.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1464","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.74.6.1464","article-title":"Measuring individual differences in implicit cognition: The implicit association test","volume":"74","author":"AG Greenwald","year":"1998","journal-title":"Journal of Personality and Social Psychology"},{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0287013.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1027\/1618-3169.51.3.165","article-title":"Is the Implicit Association Test Immune to Faking?","volume":"51","author":"MC Steffens","year":"2004","journal-title":"Experimental Psychology"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0287013.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1111\/ijsa.12070","article-title":"Fakability of Implicit and Explicit Measures of the Big Five: Research findings from organizational settings","volume":"22","author":"M Vecchione","year":"2014","journal-title":"International Journal of Selection and Assessment"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0287013.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1016\/S0191-8869(99)00195-6","article-title":"On the dimensional structure of emotional intelligence","volume":"29","author":"KV Petrides","year":"2000","journal-title":"Personality and Individual Differences"},{"key":"pone.0287013.ref007","first-page":"59","volume-title":"Implicit measures of attitudes","author":"KA Lane","year":"2007"},{"issue":"6","key":"pone.0287013.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1022","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-3514.79.6.1022","article-title":"Using the Implicit Association Test to measure self-esteem and self-concept","volume":"79","author":"AG Greenwald","year":"2000","journal-title":"Journal of Personality and Social Psychology"},{"key":"pone.0287013.ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.4135\/9781849200479.n9","volume-title":"The SAGE handbook of personality theory and assessment, Vol. 2.
