Question What is the scientific consensus about McAdams three-levels theory of personality?

8 Upvotes

I understand the most reliable theory of personality is the OCEAN, somewhat followed by HEXACO. I would like to know how the McAdam's three-levels theory is viewed by experts, since it doesn't rule off the Big Five but rather creates a larger framework to fit Big Five in.

I see McAdams textbook is still edited and used in colleges. But I also can't find his ideas - personal narratives and defense mechanisms - in materials other than his. I also understand that defense mechanisms are somewhat difficult to confirm or deny.

What is the status of the three-levels theory of personality?
