Abstract
The Current study aimed to investigate the structural organization of the Big Five Personality Inventory developed by John & Srivastava. The study comprises of 140 tribal students belonging to various tribal communities and groups making a composition of Adi, Galo, Nyshii, and Apattani to be found mostly in the University’s premises. The primary data has been collected by administering a Big Five Personality Inventory. The reliability and factor structure of the inventory were measured. Among the total of 44 items, the total five major factors were extracted, representing only three main items in each factor with high factor loading, these five factors collectively accounted for 66.88% of total variance in personality traits on the sample of tribal students. The correlation matrix table revealed that extraversion exhibited strong inter correlations with agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.
