NOTE: Big Five items (John 1990/1991) are repeated in the 1992-1993 Wisconsin Longitudinal Study phone instrument. See items rh013re rh016re, rh017re, rh018re, rh019re. See Appendix G and COR571 for references on items mh003rer-mh039rer. In February 2008, summary scores with means imputed for missing components were added. The original summary scores remain. The score with means imputed is named the same as the original with the letter "i" added as the 8th character of the name. This new variable is only constructed if at least half of the components receive a valid response, else the new summary measure is set to missing. The mean is calculated from the respondent's valid responses to the questions for the respective summary measure.

MH001REC is coded with a sum if at least one of the six items (17a,
17d,17f,17i,17t,17v) recieved a valid response. The degree of
extraversion can range from 1 (the lowest possible) to 36 (the highest

which mean of valid responses is imputed for missing responses. See
MH002RE for the number of items included in the sum.
