Indeed, the diversity of backgrounds among students on a university campus can lead to a variety of challenging socialization processes. The quantitative survey methodology with random sampling employed in this study indeed provides valuable insights into the relationships between personality traits, mental health, and career adaptability of 200 students at University Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Using a combination of questionnaires such as the Big Five Inventory Scale (BFI), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Career Adapt-Ability Scale (CAAS) provides a comprehensive approach to understanding the relationship between personality traits, mental health, and career adaptability among university students. The results of the study indicate that on average exhibited moderate levels of personality traits (mean =2.89; standard deviation (SD)= .225), mental health (m = 3.05; SD = .275) and career adaptability (m = 2.75; SD = .277). The results also indicated a statistically significant relationship between personality and career adaptability among the university students. The correlation coefficient (r) of 0.493 suggests a moderate positive relationship between these variables. This suggests that interventions aimed at enhancing career adaptability may benefit from addressing both personality factors and mental health outcomes among students. Therefore, it's crucial to promoting positive mental health and fostering personality traits associated with adaptability can enhance students' capacity to examine the complexities of career decision-making and transitions of differences students' experiences. Inconclusions, further analysis could explore potential relationships between specific personality traits, mental health dimensions, and career adaptability to provide targeted support for students' career development and well-being on campus.
