This study investigated personality and sociability as predictors of secret cult activities among Benue state university undergraduates Makurdi. A total sample of 166 students consisting of 92 (55.4%) males and 74 (44.6%) females with ages ranging from 17-41 years (mean age =24.96, SD=6.90) where used for the study. Three instruments where used for data collection. Statistical analysis involved the use of pearson’s moment correlation and multiple regression. Findings from the hypothesis indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism and secret cult activities r (164 df) = .459, p<.01. There was a significant positive relationship between extraversion and secret cult activities r (164 df) = .325, p< .01. There was a significant negative relationship between agreeableness and secret cult activities r (164 df) =-.345, p< .01. There was no significant relationship between conscientiousness and secret cult activities r (164 df) = .131, p > .01. There was no significant relationship between openness and secret cult activities r (164 df) = -.025, p > 0.1. There was a significant positive relationship between sociability and secret cult activities r (164 df) = .538, p < .01. Finally income level contributed significantly in the prediction of secret cult activities among undergraduates (B = -.212, p, < .01); where age, sex, level of study and place of residence did not make any significant contribution in predicting secret cult activities among undergraduates. It was therefore recommended that students of various age groups, sex, level of study, income and residence should be carefully monitored against secret cult activities since involvement in secret cult activities is not independently determined by the factors mentioned above.
