One of the teachers competencies is personality which is uneasy to measure. Comparing to other teachers competencies, pedagogy, social. and professional, this personality competence is rather more difficult to measure. That is why. for this purpose, it has been scientifically developed teachers personality instrument by applying big-five personality (Colquitt. et. al.. 2017) concepts and try to relate it to teachers moral behaviour based on gender. Considering research objectives, survey method used by involving around 91 teachers selected randomly. Personality instrument developed based on five factors; Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism/Emotional stability, with five scale, from most accurate to less accurate (20 items). Some indicators for measuring teachers moral behaviour was also developed (32 items). Research results revealed that all personality items have high validity and only 11 items measuring moral behaviour were omitted, because its low validity. Reliability, however, for both instruments were high. .452 for personality and .802 for moral behaviour. There was no means difference between male and female teachers personality and moral behaviour. Moreover. there was no eigen-values and factor loading differences between male and female teachers personality. Its construct validity has been confirmed by empirical finding where all factors loading were > .30 (Hair. et. al.. 2010). Teachers moral behaviour. Moreover, was not significantly determined by personality. Therefore, it could be concluded that teachers personality instrument might be validated based on gender and extraversion factor could be an indicator that gender did not affect teachers personality instrument development based on big-five personality dimensions.
