Abstract
The present study looked into the possible correlations between personality and supernatural belief. A modified version of the Seven Factors Inventory and the 44 item Big Five Inventory were administered through an online survey to 92 participants in the psychology department at Purchase College. Positive correlations were found between Neuroticism and Traditional Religious Belief, Psi, Superstition, and Precognition, Openness to Experience and Spiritualism and Precognition, Extraversion and Precognition, Agreeableness and Precognition and Witchcraft, and Conscientiousness and Precognition. Most of these correlations were not reported in previous research, and as such, offer new insights into the ways different aspects of the human experience relate.
