Abstract:: Personality functioning (PF) is the central criterion for personality pathology in clinical models. Nonclinical personality models assume emotional intelligence or the general factor of personality as general indicators of adaptiveness. Both are conceptualized as more competence-like than solely trait-like. It has rarely been investigated (1) whether these constructs might assess the same latent dimension, and (2) if they indeed reflect competencies beyond traits. In three samples (N = 592), we observed (1) high convergence between all constructs. (2) PF was related to a full-scale emotional competence performance measure (Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test), supporting its status as a competence construct. (3) Further, all constructs are strongly saturated with PF variance, and PF can be reliably estimated from common personality scales.
