Hello, I believe that I may have found a bug in the total score of Agreeableness as it is presented in the HCP data. 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.
