Personality Traits among College Students in Nagaland: A Quantitative Study

Abstract Personality traits are relatively stable patterns of cognition, affect, and behaviour that influence individual functioning. Trait theories, particularly Hans Eysenck’s Eysenckian Model of Personality, conceptualise personality along the dimensions of Psychoticism, Neuroticism, and Extraversion (Eysenck, 1967). The present study examines the distribution of these personality dimensions among college students in Nagaland, a culturally distinct and underrepresented population in psychological research. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 200 young adult college students across multiple districts of Nagaland through standardised personality assessment measures. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to eligible participants. The data was analysed by using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Analysis of valid responses indicated that Psychoticism was the predominant personality dimension, while Neuroticism and Extraversion were comparatively less represented. The findings underscore the importance of cultural and contextual factors in personality assessment and highlight the need for region-specific psychological research. The study offers implications for the development of culturally responsive student support services, counselling practices, and mental health interventions in higher education settings.
