Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the results of factor analyses of bipolar markers for personality structure measurement according to the Big-Five model (SO-BRS), and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-SR) in a sample from Croatian population, as well as the relations between those two instruments. In general, the factor analysis of Big-Five bipolar markers proved evidence for the five factor structure of that instrument, with some specificities that indicate the need for further adaptation of the adjective set for personality structure measurement according to the Big-Five model in Croatian language. The factor analysis of Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire proved more evidence for Neuroticism, Extraversion and Lie factors, with less evidence for Psychoticism factor. Less evidence for Psychoticism factor and Psychoticism scale (low number of items with projections on intentional factor, low reliability) indicate that the construct of Psychoticism could be discontinued and non-unitary, as well as the need for new revision of the short version of that scale. In general, the identification of the relations between bipolar markers for personality structure measurement according to the Big-Five model and Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire confirmed the theoretical expectations, with some specificities, concerning Psychoticism factor (EPQ-SR) and Intellect factor (SO-BRS).
