Abstract :The purpose of this study is to find out what physical education teachers with various qualities, who toil to improve themselves spend their off-duty time according to their personality traits and to identify the effects personality traits have on choosing an activity. The population of this study includes 328 physical education teachers who had graduated from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports and are currently working as physical education teachers in various schools. According to the significance value (p<0,05) the survey of 328 physical education teachers was deemed sufficient and the surveys were evaluated.
