Abstract: The aim of this study was to do a study of the personality factor of tribal students in rural and urban areas. For this study, the researcher selected 40 students from rural and urban areas of Chandrapur and Gadchiroli, aged between 15 and 18 years. The selected subjects included 20 rural and 20 urban tribal male students. To measure the students’ personalities, the researcher used the Standardized Personality Questionnaire (16PF) personality questionnaire written by R. B. Cattell. This study used a standardized test published in 1972 by the Institute for Personality and Aptitude Testing and translated into Hindi by Dr. S. D. Kapoor. This standardized questionnaire contains 187 questions related to 16 personality traits, each with three different options. This questionnaire reflects sixteen personality factors.In this study, only four major types were studied which include Factor-QI, Factor-QII, Factor-QIII and Factor-QIV.T-test was used to compare the personality traits of rural and urban tribal students and the results were tested at 0.05 level of significance.The findings show that tribal students from rural areas are more introverted, less anxious, softbodied and dependent on others as compared to tribal students from urban areas, whereas students from urban areas are more extroverted, more anxious, tough-bodied and have independence-loving personalities.
