Summary/Abstract: The relationship between religiosity and personality is not one-sided and one-dimensional. On the one hand, religiosity affects personality, on the other hand, personality has an important effect on religiosity. Just as each person has a unique personality, each individual also has his/her own religiosity. For, just as there are as many personalities as there are people in the world, there are as many forms of religiosity as there are people in the world. A great deal of research has been done in the world on religiosity and personality, and many ideas have been put forward about these two. However, a full and clear view on this issue has not been put forward. Jung talks about introverted and extroverted personality while describing personality. Jung uses the concept of archetype when explaining religiosity. For him, God is an archetype. Maslow is the founder of humanistic psychology. He frequently dwells on the concept of self-actualization while explaining his views. According to him, self-actualized individuals are religious whether they believe in God or not. Maslow also focuses on the concept of institutionalized and non-institutionalized religion. He is against institutionalized religion. According to him, the real religious mystical person. In other words, the real religious are those who have non-institutionalized religion.
