Abstract Text	In this thesis I investigate if personality measures elicited in eleven different surveys reasonably predict socio-economic and demographic outcomes. Further I explore whether cross survey comparisons can be made using these different data sources. My findings suggest that even though different surveys use different conceptual frameworks to measure personality, the vast majority of these measures predicts socio-economic and demographic outcomes in a way one would expect based on previous literature findings. Therefore, I conclude that cross-country comparisons can be made using these data sources.
