Relationship between intelligence (IQ) and Big 5 Personality Is there any relationship  between intelligence and big five personality traits?
I suppose this needs a more in-depth answer, but a quick search found one twin study (Bartels et al. 2012), which not only correlated IQ with Big5, but also tried to determine how much of that has a shared genetic basis:

Significant positive phenotypic correlations with IQ were seen for agreeableness (r = 0.21) and openness to experience (r = 0.32). A negative correlation emerged for neuroticism and IQ (r = 0.10). Genetic
factors explained (nearly) all of the covariance between personality traits and IQ. Genetic correlations
were 0.3–0.4 between IQ and agreeableness and openness. The genetic correlation between IQ and
neuroticism was around 0.18. Thus, personality and IQ did not appear to be independent dimensions,
and low neuroticism, high agreeableness and high scores on openness all contributed to higher IQ scores.

That paper also serves as mini-review of prior works:

Openness to experience tends to correlate highest with intelligence (Ackerman &amp; Heggestad, 1997; Aitken Harris, 2004; Chamorro-Premuzic, Moutafi, &amp; Furnham, 2005; Moutafi, Furnham, &amp;
Crump, 2006) [...] Results for other personality
traits are less clear. Some studies reported negative associations
between IQ and neuroticism (Austin, Hofer, Deary, &amp; Eber, 2000;
Kyllonen, 1997). Occasionally, extraversion has been reported to
correlate (positively and negatively) with intelligence (Wolf &amp; Ackerman, 2005), and this relation has been moderated by the nature
of the test and the context (Bates &amp; Rock, 2004; Matthews, 1997;
Rawlings &amp; Carnie, 1989; Robinson, 1985). Correlations of intelligence with conscientiousness have been small and negative
(Furnham et al., 2005). Moutafi et al. (2006) hypothesized that conscientiousness is a trait that less intelligent individuals can possess
to compensate in a competitive environment. Conscientiousness,
in contrast, has been positively associated with academic performance (Chamorro-Premuzic &amp; Furnham, 2003; Lievens et al.,
2002). Agreeable people tend to be pleasant and accommodating
in social situations and this trait is rarely associated with intelligence. However, one study found a small positive relation
with scholastic achievement in adolescent males (Peterson, Pihl,
Higgins, Seguin, &amp; Tremblay, 2003). Altruistic behavior, which is
a small aspect of the construct of agreeableness, was associated
with higher IQ scores in younger children (Kohlberg, 1964; Krebs
&amp; Sturrup, 1982)

Regarding the compensation hypothesis between conscientiousness and IQ, a more recent review-ish paper, Murray et al. is critical of it, considering it an artefact of twin studies. Nevertheless, there's a more recent study Rammstedt et al., which (using OECD's PIAAC - &quot;PISA for adults&quot; as substitute for IQ) again found in favor of that compensation hypothesis; it also confirmed the positive correlation between Openness and cognitive ability and found a negative correlation with Neuroticism. It also found some moderators for these:


The cognitive ability-Openness relationship is moderated by educational attainment.

The association with Conscientiousness is moderated by labor force participation.
