Personality trait of an athlete is a significant factor in sports injury reha-bilitation. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether there are differences in personality traits between male and female, profes-sional and amateur athletes from sports representing two ends of ex-treme to traditional namely; drag racing and archery. Overall 189 male and female, professional and amateur drag racers (n=144) and archers (n=45) took part in this study. Participants completed the personality traits of extroversion and neuroticism as measured by Eysenck’s classic Personality Inventory dimensions and thrill and adventure seeking (TAS), experience seeking (ES), disinhibition (DIS), boredom susceptibil-ity (BS), and sensation seeking (SS) as measured by Zuckerman’s Sen-sation Seeking Scale. The results showed that professionals scored significantly lower on neuroticism compared to amateurs. Drag racers scored significantly higher on TAS, DIS, and SS compared to archers and there were gender differences amongst archers on TAS and SS with males scoring higher than females. Such differences in personality factors and the readiness to take risks, lack of caution, and adventurous spirit can influence the risk of injury in athletes and indeed may influ-ence the outcome of rehabilitation. Practitioners would need to recog-nise difference in personality traits associated with the type of sport and the choice of interventions strategies.
