The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between social anxiety and personality variables (neuroticism, extraversion and psychoticism) on a sample of 2022 (51.1% male) Spanish adolescents aged 12 to 16 years. Social anxiety was assessed using the questionnaire Social Phobia and Anxiety Inventory and for the analysis of personality variables the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was administered. The results indicate that students with high social anxiety have a personality profile consisting of high scores in neuroticism or emotional instability, low scores on extraversion and psychoticism similar levels. The results of logistic regression indicate that students with high social anxiety are more likely to get high scores on neuroticism and less likely to have an extroverted personality trait. In addition, low extraversion and high neuroticism are positive predictors of social anxiety.
