This study investigated the relations of two aspects of Boredom Proneness with the major dimensions of personality. A sample of 316 undergraduate students completed the Boredom Proneness Scale (BPS; Farmer & Sundberg, 1986) and the HEXACO Personality Inventory (HEXACO-PI; Lee & Ashton, 2004), a measure of six personality dimensions recovered in lexical studies of personality structure in several languages. Results indicated that External Stimulation was negatively associated with Honesty/Humility, Emotionality, and Conscientiousness. Furthermore, Internal Stimulation was related directly to Extraversion, Conscientiousness, and Openness to Experience. Directions for future research are suggested, along with possible implications for industrial/organizational psychology and worker/job fit.
