The aim of this research is to study the relations between personality types (introverted and extroverted), intelligence, sexuality and semantic conditioning.For this purpose, 94 subjects were selected through systematic random sampling from among the students of the first and second semesters of psychology at Islamic Azad University of Roudhen. Eysenck personality test and Raven IQ test were done on subjects. Then 25 words were randomly presented through tape recorder in four stages to the subjects. The subjects received electrical shock when hearing 9 works from the list. After conditioning of the subjects to these words, 25 other words were randomly presented among which there were 9 synonym words with the works which were presented with electrical shock. Electrical response of skin of subjects was measured when presenting the synonym words and at the end, one grade was obtained for each subject as conditioning index. Analysis of data by multi-variable regression test showed that there a significant relation between the variable of personality type and conditioning only (P<01.1). Bilateral variance analysis for each variable showed that their interaction doesn’t influence semantic conditioning (P>0.05). Also, there was no difference in terms of semantic conditioning between girls and boys and intelligent persons and those with average IQ (P>0.05). But there was a significant difference in terms of semantic conditioning between introverted and extroverted groups (P>0.01). So, we can conclude that the introverted subjects are conditioned faster that extroverted subjects and intelligence and sexuality variables have no relation with the semantic conditioning.
