| Summary: | Although the link between spirituality and personality traits has been intensely researched in the academic literature in recent years -particularly within the five-factor personality model and theory-, there are no review articles that allow summarizing the state of the art in such relationship. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to review studies analyzing the numinous constructs related to individual differences by means of a systematic review of the bibliography found in the PsycInfo, ERIC, Pubmed, CAIRN, CLASS, Scielo, Dialnet, Lilacs, and Redalyc databases. According to such review, although results show considerable disparity, there have been reported positive associations between said constructs and openness, responsibility, extroversion, and agreeableness as well as negative associations with neuroiticism. It is concluded that the discrepancy in the results would be due to to the multiplicity of dissimilar psychological techniques used to assess spirituality and religiosity.
