After review the issues of terminology, definition, and classification of both LLSs and personality traits, the theoretical underpinnings of their concepts were discussed. In order to investigate this relationship, 213 participants as representative sample of the EFL population was chosen.

Data was collected using Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) as a proficiency test, and three questionnaires namely Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL), NEO-Five Factors Inventory (NEO-FFI), and A Background Questionnaire, between September 2010 and November 2010 in Iran. Four statistical tests were used to measure the relationship between personality traits and LLSs: Statistical Descriptive, Pearson Correlation, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Multiple Regression Analysis. The results of this study revealed significant relationships between personality traits and LLSs in some cases.
