The personality configuration of mentors and mentees is important in understanding mentoring outcomes. While the best mentors appear to have higher degrees of agreeableness and conscientiousness, entrepreneurs generally score lower on agreeableness and have higher degrees of narcissism, a personality trait that could be detrimental to mentoring. We investigated the interaction of narcissism with two traits from the Big Five Inventory, namely agreeableness and conscientiousness, to see how this interaction influenced learning from the relationship of mentee entrepreneurs. Our findings suggest that mentee narcissism negatively influences learning, and mentor agreeableness mitigates the negative effects on mentee learning. These findings show certain beneficial personality configurations in entrepreneurial mentoring and provide elements to consider in managerial practice when pairing mentors and mentees in this context.

Background: Compensation has the potential to improve everyday functioning and delay or prevent conversion to dementia; thus, improvement of compensation is a desirable intervention target. In addition to cognition, research suggests personality and mood may affect compensation use. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether psychological factor(s) are significant predictors of compensation after accounting for cognition in a non-demented older adult sample.

This study tests the application of the HEXACO among Catholic priests and the power of this six factor model of personality to predict scores on the Francis Burnout Inventory among priests. Data provided by 264 priests serving in Italy lead to two conclusions. In this population three of the six scales of the HEXACO failed to display adequate levels of internal consistency reliability (emotionality, agreeableness, openness to experience).

However, the literature on personality traits and symptom outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS) is limited, highlighting the necessity for more in-depth research.
