The main purpose of the present study was to find out the significant differences on seven traits of personality between sportspersons and non-sportspersons. a sample of 800 subjects was selected; out of which 600 sportspersons, 200 were school players, 200 were college level players and 200 were university level players. Out of the 200 non-sportspersons, 100 were from the colleges. They were administered sports specific personality test devised by Singh and Cheema (2005) which consists of 100 items and measures seven traits of personality like sociability, dominance, extraversion, conventionality, self-concept, mental toughness and emotional stability. The results of the study indicate that the differences between sportspersons and non-sportspersons were not found out on different personality traits, except the trait of emotional stability where the difference was significant and the sportspersons were found to be better on this trait. (2) Significant differences between male and female students (non- sportspersons) were found on sociability, dominance and mental toughness at school level; where males were better on these traits than females. On other traits like extraversion, conventionality, self-concept and emotional stability sex differences did not exist. (3) At college level, non-sportspersons male and female students differed on sociability, mental toughness and emotional stability; where again the males were found to be better on these traits than females on other traits like dominances, extraversion, conventionality and self-concept, they did not differ significantly. (4) The combined group of both school and college non-sportspersons differed only on sociability, mental toughness and emotional maturity where again male students were found to be better on these traits. In all other traits of personality of dominance, extraversions, conventionality and self-concept no significant differences were observed.
