Abstract: The purpose of this research study was to investigate the influence of personality types and conduct disorder among secondary school students in Calabar education zone, Nigeria. To achieve the aim of this study, two (2) research questions and two research hypotheses were formulated. Extant literature review was done according to the variables under study. Ex-post facto design was deemed appropriate for the study, this is because, the researcher has no control over the independent variables since their manifestations had already occurred in the population. 539 respondents were selected using the multi-stage sampling technique. To test the hypotheses under study, independent t-test analysis was employed. The result of the analysis revealed that, persuasive personality type and aesthetic personality type significantly influence conduct disorder among secondary school students in the study area. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended, amongst others, that, administrators of the school system should devise effective means of supervising the teachers and students, as a means of controlling deviant behaviour.
