The aim was to relate the personality traits with the impulsivity, studying evidence of convergent-discriminant validity for Bateria Fatorial de Personalidade (BFP) and Escala de Avaliação da Impulsividade (EsAvI). Participated 178 soldiers of the Military Police of Minas Gerais, Brazil. In the results, it was used the regression analysis by stepwise method, whereby predictors models were identified, which were composed of facets of the five personality factors, highlighting the factors ‘Emotional Instability’ and ‘Responsibility and Extraversion’ as the most related to impulsivity.
