The article examines the results of studying the personal characteristics of civil servants occupying various positions at different levels. The Five-factor Personality Questionnaire 5FPQ was used as a diagnostic tool for the study of personality characteristics. The results showed that differences in the severity of extraversion, benevolence and openness to experience (and their constituent facets) exist both between «non-managers» and «managers», as well as between managers occupying various positions at different levels. It was found that managers have higher levels of extraversion and openness to experience and low values of benevolence. It was also found that the relationship between personality traits, their facets and job levels is a non-linear (U-shaped) character.
