Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between personality factors, cultural practices, and innovativeness on the national level. Based on the triangulation of three independent datasets, we test our model on a sample of N = 33 countries. Our results show that innovation-related aggregated national personality factors are closely linked with innovation-related national cultural practices. Further, we show that national cultural practices mediate the relationship between national personality profiles and national innovativeness.
