Survey method was used as data collection tool. The first part of the three-part questionnaire contains the "social integration scale in sports" developed by Yilmaz et al. (2007), the second part contains the personality types scale adapted to Turkish by Sudak and Zehir (2013) developed by Goldberg (1990), and the third part contains the personal data form. In addition to descriptive statistics in the analysis of the data; normality tests, Pearson correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis were used. In addition, the Z score was calculated and the differences between the groups were examined in order to compare the r values that appeared in the binary correlation analysis by dividing them into groups. As a result of the analysis, significant positive correlations were found between the sub-dimensions of the two measurement instruments at low, medium and high levels in general. As a result, sports are a very important tool for the development of personality along with the social integration of individuals.
