Result: The results indicated that all the dimensions of auditors’ personality disorders affect their professional skepticism negatively. Also, the most inverse relationship can be witnessed between personality disorders and the interpersonal perception criterion for professional skepticism. Conclusion: The attention paid to the factors shaping auditors’ personality disorder and the efforts made to remove the barriers can significantly improve the level of professional skepticism.Mohsen GholamrezaeeMohammad HassaniShahid Bahonar University of Kermanarticleprofessional skepticismpersonality disordersindependent auditorAccounting.
