摘要：The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of personality traits (Openness, Awareness, Extraversion, Acceptance and Emotional Stability) with spiritual intelligence among semester 6 trainee teachers in IPGK central zone in Malaysia. A total of 207 respondents were involved in this study (75 = male; 132 = female). The research tools used were measures of spiritual intelligence from the instruments of Rayburn & Richmond (1999); Goleman-Noriah (2005); Lee (2010); (Chin, 2015) and the International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) (Goldberg, 1992). The findings of the study showed that there was a positive relationship between Extraversion personality traits (r = 0.152, p <0.05) and Openness (r = .140, p <0.05) with spiritual intelligence. Whereas for the personality trait dimensions of acceptance (r =- 0.043, p <0.05), awareness (r = 0.052, p <0.05) and emotional stability (r =- 0.006, p <0.05) showed no relationship with spiritual intelligence. This finding explains that with the possession of increasingly positive and quality personality traits making prospective teachers to also practice the personality behavior of a teacher is also at a high level. The implication is that trainee teachers who have personalities for the following four dimensions can consistently play a role in shouldering their responsibilities as teachers to meet the needs of the challenges of change that occur in today’s educational organizations.
