The analysis in this paper was based on data obtained from 80 male participants, aged 29-65. Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency (CFFF) was measured using the Flicker Test. The Formal Characteristics of Behaviour - Temperament Inventory (FCB-TI) by Strelau and Zawadzki (1993) was used for temperamental characteristics. The results of statistical analysis did not confirm a hypothesis about the correlation between CFFF level and 3 temperamental characteristics. There were no immediate relationships among those variables. Correlation was observed when the CFFF coefficient of variance, instead of average CFFF values, was taken into account, especially in the case of a division into 2 groups of participants, "reckless" and "unsure." It could be interesting to check in the future a hypothesis about the stability of selected types of reactions.
