Abstrakt		In the study we analyze the relationship between personality and anthropometrical somatotype. The sample represents 40 students of average age 21 years at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Anthropometrical measurements were taken for calculation of Heath-Carter somatotype (ten parameters). The average somatotype of the sample is 4.0 for endomorphic component, 4.2 for mesomorphic component and 3.0 for ectomorphic component. The average somatotype of the sample is mesomorph-endomorph. Persoraality characteristics of biology students were assessed by the Big Five Questionnaire. The mean scores for the five personality dimensions obtained with our sample of male students were, in comparison to the Slovenian male population, similar with respect to Agreeableness and Openness, but the students scored above the population mean for Energy, Conscientiousness and Emotional Stability. At the facet level, the students scored higher for Activity, Dominance, Persistence, Emotional Control and Openness to Culture than did the Slovenian male population, while the students did not deviate from the population mean levels for Cooperation, Kindness, Preciseness, Impulse Control and Openness to Experience. No significant differences in personality dimensions were found between the subjects classified into the three somytotype groups. However, some low correlations between personality measures and the anthropometrical somatotype were observed.
