This study examined if differences in self-monitoring which is a specific dispositional trait are
related to differences in the big five general dispositional traits of personality for both Thai and Foreign
BBA students at Assumption University. Out of a sample of 321 students, 151 were low and 170 were
high self-monitors. The only trait that students differed on was extraversion with low self-monitors
having higher scores on extraversion. The Thai and Foreign students were further divided into high and
low self-monitors. Results indicated that both groups, high and low self-monitors for both Thai and
Foreign students have differences in extraversion, emotional stability and conscientiousness traits.
