Enjoyment can be defined as the state that occurs when a subject encounters an intrinsically motivating activity and commits for intrinsic reasons rather than for extrinsic reward (Moon & Kim, 2001). It has affective, cognitive and behavioral components that operate at an evaluative and experiential level of the person (Nabi & Kremar, 2004). But their theoretical developments are scarce in Psychology and fail to cover the complexity of this phenomenon (Rodriguez, Schaufeli, Salanova, & Cifre, 2008). The investigation of the enjoyment of performers of musical instruments in our context, uses the study of Personality, as a key element for the understanding and study of this experience using the Five Factor Personality Model (FFM). Method:210 performers of musical instruments (n = 18.8% women). Instruments: Sociodemographic questionnaire built ad hoc. Self-perceived Personality Characteristics (ACPA) (Adapted from Leibovich and Schmidt, 2013), which evaluates the self-perceptions of personality domains. Inventory of Enjoyment in Musical Execution (IDEM), (Leibovich, Gimenez and Esparza-Baigorri, 2016). Evaluate the intensity of enjoyment when playing a musical instrument, developed from a qualitative study with performers of musical instruments. Results: Significant differences were found in all personality dimensions between those who reported experiences of intense intense enjoyment and those of low intensity. The personality dimension that stands out most in performers of musical instruments is Openess to experience. Negative correlations were found between neuroticism and enjoyment; positive correlations between the rest of the dimensions of personality and enjoyment.
