%X The article deals with a theoretical and empirical analysis of the relationship between perfectionistic cognitions and personality factors of the Big Five. The presented research was made on a sample of 144 students of the Faculty of Education. The following methods were used in the research: the PCI ¨C Perfectionism Cognitions Inventory (Flett, Hewitt, Blankstein, Gray, 1998) consisting of 25 items designed to identify the frequency of perfectionistic cognitions and the personality inventory NEO-FFI (Ruisel, Halama, 2007) consisting of five well-known factors created by P. T. Costa and R. R. McCare: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness. A correlation analysis of the variables confirmed statistically significant relationships between perfectionistic cognitions and neuroticism 0.467**, openness to experience 0.22** and agreeableness -0.251**.
