Annotation: This article is devoted to the topic 'Personality and Intercultural Communication.' The study examines the relationship between individual personality traits and the capacity for effective intercultural communication in the context of globalisation. The research investigates how psychological characteristics such as openness to experience, empathy, tolerance for ambiguity, and emotional intelligence influence an individual's ability to interact successfully across cultural boundaries. Furthermore, the article analyses the role of cultural identity, self-concept, and value systems in shaping intercultural communicative behaviour. The theoretical foundations of intercultural communication competence are explored alongside practical strategies for developing intercultural awareness and sensitivity in educational and professional settings. The significance of personality development in fostering cross-cultural understanding and global citizenship is discussed with reference to contemporary scholarly literature.
