With the aim to verify convergence between two models of personality assessment, the Agreeableness Scale and the Factor Personality Inventory were applied in 71 participants (43 female/28 male) aged between 18 and 31 years (M = 21.11 years, SD = 4.28), with high school (n = 28) and university grade (n = 43). The first factor of the Agreeableness Scale, cordiality, correlated significantly and positively with eight needs assessed by Factor Personality Inventory (Assistance, Intraception, Cuddling, Deference, Affiliation, Order, Permanence and Change). Other factors (pro-sociability and trust in people) did not correlate significantly with any of the needs assessed by the Factor Personality Inventory. Significant differences due to gender were found in relation to the needs intraception, deference and autonomy in the Factor Personality Inventory and cordiality in Agreeableness Scale, and in relation to age of participants differences no were found. Studies evaluating the remaining factors of the Big Five Personality Model are recommended, as well as greater age range of the sample.
