Abstract: Following on from Henningham`s (1997) inquiry into the personality of Australian journalists, an attempt is made here to provide some insight into the characteristic tendencies of journalists in Bangladesh. Eysenck`s test of three personality dimensions was applied to a sample of 100 Bangladeshi journalists from various media organizations in the country. This study, which uses an extensive questionnaire on personality assessment, found Bangladeshi news personnel to be significantly less psychoticistic than the general people. However, on the question of Extraversion and Neuroticism, the news workers were found not to be significantly different from most people. No significant difference was found on the ‘lie` scale, which indicates a respondent`s tendency to dissimulate, between the journalists and the whole population.
