We examined the Big Five (De Raad, 2000) personality traits of Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stabiliy, Extraversion, and Openness, plus the narrow personality traits of Aggression, Career-Decidedness, Optimism, Self-Directed Learning, Sense of identity, Tough-Mindedness, and Work-Drive in relation to intention to withdraw from college. Among 233 university freshmen, all of the traits except Tough-Mindedness and Openness were significantly related to withdrawal intention, with three traits-Sense of identity, Emotional Stability, and Work Drive-accounting for 22% of the variance in intention to withdraw Theoretical and practical implications were discussed.
