Personality traits and reported levels of death fear were compared for 75 individuals. The subjects were undergraduate men and women in psychology who completed the 16 PF and the Death Anxiety Scale. Five personality traits were associated with a high fear of death; however, none were to a degree that would allow the statement that people with a high fear of death are necessarily abnormal. Those with a high fear of death were relatively more easily affected by feelings, less trusting, less self-assured, less socially precise, and more tense than people with a low fear of death
