Summary/Abstract: In this paper an attempt has been made to determine the relationship between social status and personality dimensions. The survey was conducted on 2432 subjects aged 18-76. After separate factor analysis of social status and personality indicators was conducted, the extracted dimensions were correlated on the whole sample, male and female subsamples, and age-defined subsamples. The results indicate that social status has only a weak influence on personality. The negative relationship between educational status and authoritarian conformism has been established. According to Eysenck, this dimension belongs primarily to the domain of social altitudes, and in the Big Five model it is closest to the inverse of the openness to experience.
