Abstract: The purpose of this research was to locate the three identity styles in Berzonsky's model within the five-factor model of personality. Berzonsky's (1992) Identity Style Inventory and the NEO Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1985) were completed by 189 undergraduates. The information-oriented and normative identity style scales were positively related to extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness. Openness was positively related to the information-oriented identity style, but negatively related to the normative identity style. The diffused/avoidant style was positively related to neuroticism,but negatively related to agreeableness and conscientiousness.
