The study aimed to explore the level of creative thinking and its relationship with personality traits among Palestinian university students. Additionally, the study sought to determine if there is a statistically significant relationship between the level of creative thinking and personality traits among Palestinian university students. The study also aimed to assess the levels of creative thinking and the availability of personality traits among these students. Furthermore, the study aimed to examine whether there are differences in the responses of the study sample regarding the level of creative thinking and the availability of personality traits based on the variable of study years (first year, second year, third year, fourth year, or more). To achieve the study's objectives, the researcher used a descriptive survey methodology, selecting a sample of 150 students through convenience sampling. The study employed a scale consisting of 30 items evenly distributed across two axes (creative thinking and personality traits) to assess the levels of creative thinking and its relationship with personality traits among Palestinian university students. The researcher ensured the reliability and validity of the tool. The study yielded several results, including a strong and statistically significant relationship between the level of creative thinking and personality traits among Palestinian university students. The level of creative thinking was found to be high and positive, as was the availability of personality traits. Importantly, the study revealed no significant differences in the responses of the study sample regarding the relationship between the level of creative thinking and the availability of personality traits based on the variable of study years, based on the study's findings, it is recommended that universities encourage the integration of elements that enhance creative thinking in their academic programs.
