The relationship between personality traits and ratings of different values, value categoties and types were examined in the present study. The overall results showed in the rule low or modest correlations between two setsof variables. A considerable number of these correlations revealed significant connections between personality traits and other personal variables (age, gender, education). Among the personality traits showing the highest correlations with the rating of different values and value categories were primary factors affectia, dominance, surgency, super-ego strength, premsia, and self-sufficiency. The results are in accord with the previous findings indicating only modest connections between individual value orientations and personality rtaits. Both sets of variables being investigatedin the present study obviously belong to the rather independent areas of individual's personality.
