Abstract: In this research, 2100male college students were tested, whose personality dimensions were defined with Eysenck Personality Questionaire, attentionallocations were measured with the computer. Orthogonal design combinedwith group test was taken to study the relationship between personality di-mensions and the attention allocation. The results were summarized as follows: E, E×N, P×E, N had signi-ficant effects on the attention allocation, but P×N, N did not have significanteffects. The order of importance was: E×N→P×E/E→N→P→P×N/error.The figures on the relationship were made. The best combinating state (bestattention allocation) was P1N2E1, the next one was P3N2E1 and the worstone was P2N3E1. The average of the allocation were 0.702,0.680 and 0.309respectively. Moreover, the meaning of the results in selection was also discussed.The individual attention allocation could be estimated through. measuring andanalysing one's personality dimensions, which is of importance in psycholo-gical screening.

Key words: personality dimension, attention allocation, selection, orthogonal design, neuroticism, extraversion-introversion, psychoticism
