Summary/Abstract: This paper analyses age and education differences in the subscales of perseveration, rigidity and dogmatism, derived from Ivan Paspalanov’s questionnaire for measuring personality rigidity that has been used with university students and adults aged from 17 to 67. Younger subjects scored lower on all subscales, and subjects with higher education were characterised with lesser rigidity and dogmatism. There was an interaction between age and education: in older subjects the impact of education on dogmatism was not significant. Subscales’ scores were moderately correlated with overall scale’s score for personality rigidity, and showed acceptable test-retest reliability in 3 months interval.
