Abstract	The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between university students' personal characteristics and success tendencies. For this purpose, study sample was composed of 494 students who were randomly selected from Erciyes University, Dumlupinar University and Selçuk University, schools of physical education and sports. In this study, to measure personal characteristics, Eysenck Personal Questionnaire -EPQ-RSV (Francis LJ, Brown LB, Philipchalk R. 1992), Success Tendency Scale (Akin, A. Çetin, B. 2007) and "Personal Information Form", which was developed by the researchers, were used as data collection method. Statistical analyses of the data obtained from Personal Information Form were conducted with SPSS 20.0 package program. Personal information and inventory total scores and factor scores related to participants were presented as identifying frequency (f) and percentage (%) values. Pearson Moment Product Correlation (r) was applied to determine the relationship between scores that were obtained from the scales, and Multiple Regression Analysis (ß) was applied to determine whether the obtained scores were predictor of each other. It was found that Extroversion from personal characteristics was positively directed with learning tendency approach from success tendencies and lying personality characteristics was positively directed with tendency for performance approach. Additionally, a positive directed meaningful relationship was determined between psychoticism personal characteristics and tendency for performance approach. A meaningful relationship was not found between school of physical education and sports students' neuroticism personal characteristics and success tendencies sub-scales. According to results of our study, personal characteristics affect students' success tendencies as they affect many other areas. Therefore, it is thought that personal differences and personal characteristics should be considered while preparing education programs. (As Provided).
