This study explored the personality traits of 15 women who served as surrogate mothers in a California-based surrogacy program. Their satisfaction with their service providers, i.e., the program director, psychologist, and medical doctor, were explored. All had given birth to one or more children, and five had been a surrogate more than once. 13 used in vitro fertilization, with only two choosing artificial insemination. 15 subjects were given the NEO-R Personality Inventory, a global measure of normal personality traits. Analysis indicated that surrogates overall were very pleased with their experiences, and they differed from the general population on nine personality traits
