Personality factors play an important role in learning process and proper grooming of students from early childhood. In this context the study was conducted to establish the contemporary status of personality factors of school-going adolescents. In order to meet the descriptive survey method, 706 school-going adolescents were selected from Government, Government Sponsored and Government aided secondary and higher secondary schools of West Bengal to consider as sample; and data were collected by administering the Big Five Inventory (Goldberg, 1993).
