Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between thinking styles and the five-factor personality traits.Four-hundred-and-ninety-seven middle school students from Beijing participated in the study. Participants responded to the Thinking Styles Inventory(Long Version)based on Sternberg's theory of mental self-government and to the Five-factor Personality Questionnaire for Middle School Students(Zou Hong et al,2000). The results indicated that:(1)there exist consistent patterns of relationships between thinking styles and the five-factor personality traits;(2)the predicted effect size of thinking styles to the five-factor personality traits is more power than reveres.
