Therefore, the aim of this study was to further investigate relationship between personality traits and two SOI dimensions. Total of 218 men, aged between 18 and 64, filled out SOI and rated themselves on Croatian adjective markers of Big Five personality dimensions.

These results imply that two- dimensional SOI
