<p>The research aimed to verify which personality traits contribute to career indecision in Brazilian adolescents (aged 14 to 18, <em>N</em>= 186). When evaluated within the context of the Big Five model, results showed high scores in the factor Neuroticism, which strongly relates to career indecision. Individuals with higher levels of Extraversion and Conscientiousness indicated a tendency to place more emphasis on prestige and economic aspects related to certain careers. No significant results were found for the Agreeableness and Openness factors. Findings of the present study indicate that some personality characteristics may contribute to career indecision. We believe that this information may be a useful tool for career interventions.</p>
