Scoring instructions:
As it says in table, the * indicates the highest factor loading for each variable (row). To create a scale score, you do the following:
1. Figure out which 8 items go with each scale -- that is clear from the table, talkative through withdrawn are I (Extraversion) etc.
2. For those 8 items, add them up. Except that if it is in the second section (with - on the * loading) you subtract rather than add the response. Thus Extraversion = talkative + bold + extraverted + energetic - shy - bashful - quiet - withdrawn.
3. If you want to compare these to the 'norms' , you should score in a more sophisticated way. For the - items (like 'withdrawn') you should recalculate the responses to that the response to the item is subtracted from a constant that is (1 + the highest number in the response scale) . This is called 'reflecting' a response. Then average the 8 responses for each scale.
