Abstract: Objective To explore the personality status of urban primary school students in Guangzhou, to provide evidence and suggestions for personality traits, as well as physical and psychological health improvement of children in Guangzhou city.Methods This is a cross-sectional study. Cluster sampling was applied to the survey of personality traits in 405 grade-3 pupils from two primary schools of Guangzhou, using Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (JEPQ). Independent t test was used to compare scores of all the dimensions in JEPQ between genders, age groups, and districts. Chi-square was used to compare proportion of high score in each dimension between districts. Results The standard T points of JEPQ in the dimensions of extroversion & introversion (E), neuroticism (N), psychoticism (P), lie (L) of Guangzhou city pupils were 50±11, 50±16, 42±18 and 50±10, respectively. Among them, 20.6% of subjects were emotionally unstable (T score＞61.5 in N dimension). 22.3% and 32.7% of children were introverted (T score＜43.3 in E dimension) and extroverted (T score＞56.7 in E dimension) respectively, and 6.3% of children were unsocial or aggressive (T score＞61.5 in P dimension). Compared with Chongqing, Chuzhou and Xi-an cities, the scores of E dimension were higher in both boys and girls of Guangzhou city (except for Xi-an girls, P<0.05). Conclusion Around twenty percent of Guangzhou city primary students tend to be anxious and nervous. Compared with the other cities, pupils in Guangzhou city are more extroverted. We suggested a three-in-one support network of school-community-family should be built to facilitate the children's physical and mental health development.
