Intensity of personality traits versus sporting level of historical fencers, streetball players and modern dancers

Among the surveyed population of athletes, the greatest differences occur in the intensity of neuroticism, extroversion, and conscientiousness. In addition, the most significant correlation is between low neuroticism and the level of training in a sport. Only extroversion intensity is not related to advancing to a higher level of sports performance. The intensity of all personality traits is important, but the intensity of neuroticism plays a leading role.
