Abstract: Psychological well-being is more than just happiness or satisfaction; rather it refers to being able to develop as a person and to being fulfilled and happy, and thus, contributes to the well-being of the community at large. However, since 2014, the issue of psychological well-being in Sudan has become a prodigious concern due to the rising rate of psychological problems among students. Past literature highlighted the recent increase in numbers of Sudanese students who are suffering from psychological issues. In spite that, the research on psychological well-being and personality has undergone extensive empirical review and theoretical evaluation, there is a dearth of empirical studies on the relationship between personality and psychological well-being among Sudanese students.

The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) that measures two dimensions of personality and Ryff’s Psychological Well-being scales were administered. The findings of this study with a p-value =.000
