Hi Josh, After a couple of spot checks, it appears that you might have indeed found a bug in the NEO Agreeableness scoring. Thanks for posting the problem to the list.
We will pass the issue on to the developers and see if they can find the bug and correct their code for the scoring. The issue will be tracked on the Issues and Updates wiki<https://wiki.humanconnectome.org/display/PublicData/HCP+Data+Release+Updates%3A+Known+Issues+and+Planned+fixes> and if needed a fix will go out with the next release.

It appears that when I run syntax on the raw data (coding SD = 0, D = 1, N = 2, A = 3, SA = 4) and then reverse code appropriate items and sum into subscales, all of the subscales line up with the total scores you have provided except for Agreeableness. My conclusion is that #59 was not reverse coded when it should have been. I believe this is the case because when I remove the reverse coding I applied to #59, the Agreeableness scores line up. Also, when you do reverse code #59 it improves the cronbachs alpha. Here are the items I sum together for agreeableness (* = reverse coded): (4, 9*, 14*, 19, 24*, 29*, 34, 39*, 44*, 49. 54*, 59*). Please let me know if this is unclear or seems incorrect. Josh -- Joshua C.
