The abridged big five dimensional circumplex (AB5C; Hofstee, de Raad Johnson & Ostendorf, 199 3) integrates the Big Five model of phenotypic personality attributes and circumplex models of personality. The present study of one sample of job applicants and three samples of workers in jobs requiring interpersonal interaction considered two dimensions within the AB5C—extraversion and conscientiousness—and examined the relationships of their interaction with job interview performance and supervisor ratings of job performance. Results of moderated multiple regression analyses supported the hypothesis. Additional units of extraversion led to increments in performance among high-conscientious workers but to decrements in performance among low-conscientious workers.
