Studies have looked at the relationship between swearing, personality, and profanity. Findings show that extroverted types are more likely to swear due to their impulsive nature. After studying 763 people, it was concluded that impulsivity was positively correlated with both neuroticism, openness, and swearing acceptance. In contrast, swear words are negatively correlated with conscientiousness and agreeableness.
