Previous studies showsignificant associations between the personalities of software engineers and their work preferences.Objective: Various studies on personality in SE have found large, small or no effects and there is no con-sensus on the importance of psychometric measurements in SE. There is also a lack of studies employingother psychometric instruments or using larger datasets. We aim to evaluate our results in a larger sam-ple, with software engineers in an earlier state of their career, using advanced statistics.Method: An operational replication study where extensive psychometric data from 279 master levelstudents have been collected in a SE program at a Swedish University. Personality data based on theFive-Factor Model, Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire and Self-compassion have been collected.Statistical analysis investigated associations between psychometrics and work preferences and theresults were compared to our previous findings fro
