Abstract
The hypothesis that happy and unhappy people have different personalit y profiles based on five personality factors (Neuroticism, Extraversio n, Openness, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness) was tested using 24 5 undergraduates (111 men and 134 women) who completed the Satisfactio n with Life Scale and the NEO Personality Inventory. Analysis indicate d that High and Lour Satisfaction groups had significantly different p ersonality profiles, supporting the hypothesis.
