The aim of the present piece of research work is to examine the predicting effects of personality dimensions, viz., extraversion and neuroticism on career maturity. Employing the correlational design 100 male students of Oraon tribe studying in class 10th within the age range 14-16 years were drawn randomly from different schools of Surguja District of the state of Chhattisgarh to serve as Ss. For assessing the criterion variable, i.e., career maturity, Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) by Gupta (1989) and for assessing the predicting variable viz., personality dimensions Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory by Helode (1985) were used. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine for predicting effects of personality dimensions. Extraversion and Neuroticism have emerged as significant predictors of career maturity.
