    Abstract
    The present study investigated the possible relationships between impulsivity, self-esteem and extraversion and aimed to identify a difference across age groups in each using a quantitative mixed method design. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Barratt Impulsiveness Scale were administered to 104 college students, 61 aged 18-25 and 43 aged 26+. The results found the 18-25 group to have significantly higher extraversion and impulsivity levels than the 26+ group and no significant difference with self-esteem levels. Positive significant relationships were established between impulsivity and extraversion as well as extraversion and self-esteem showing that as one rises or falls so does the other. A negative significant relationship between self-esteem and impulsivity showed as one falls the other rises and vice versa.
