I estimated OLS models for Big Five personality traits with self-esteem and whether or not you are Jewish as predictors (sample size = 3,915--94 Jews):
Standardized OLS regression coefficients
Extraversion
Jewish .03*
Self-esteem .40*
Negative emotionality
Jewish .04*
Self-esteem -.51*
Agreeableness
Jewish .02
Self-esteem .17*
Conscientiousness
Jewish .01
Self-esteem .37*
Openness to experience
Jewish .03*
Self-esteem .39*
Controlling for self-esteem, Jews are significantly more extraverted, negatively emotional, and open to experience. They are not more conscientious or disagreeable (as I thought they would be).
By the way, Jews do not differ from others in self-esteem.
What, a post on the Jews without dozens of comments?

I know this is old, but I'm wondering if this sample is a mix of genders, or just one gender.
