Neuroticism was associated with depression, whereas extraversion showed an opposed association. No significant influencing factors (tumor entity, location) were found regarding personality traits. Patients had lower scores regarding the factor openness and higher scores regarding the BDI-II compared to the norm population. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Beck’s Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) for the five factors of personality were acquired. We assessed potential factors influencing personality such as tumor location, tumor grade and tumor volume. Personality alteration is a common feature in brain tumor patients, but not much is known about associations between specific personality changes and brain tumors. Aim of this study was to analyze personality traits in patients with neuroepithelial brain tumors.
