Objective: To identify the personality traits of individuals undergoing treatment for Tuberculosis in Family Health Centers and their relationship with therapeutic adherence.

The responsible personality trait presented a significant relationship with adherence (p=0.006). Conclusion: This research managed to identify the existing personality traits in patients with Tuberculosis and predict which personality characteristics favor adherence to therapy. This assessment detected a great need to incorporate strategies for assessing the mental health of patients, due to because these favor therapeutic adherence.
