    The following study focused on identifying the relationship between different personality traits and dependence on video games, for which the participation of university students from the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Technical University of Ambato, located in the city of Ambato, in the province of Tungurahua, was considered. As for the implementation of the project, a cross-sectional approach was used, being that it was developed during the academic period April 2022 - September 2022, additionally, correlational parameters were maintained between the variables, complemented by a non- experimental quantitative carácter. With respect to the study population, the participation of students belonging to the careers of Medicine, Clinical Psychology, Physiotherapy, Nursing and Nutrition and Dietetics was contemplated. Subsequently, we worked with a total sample of 127 students, of which 94 women and 33 men were identified, who agreed to participate voluntarily. The data collection process was through the digitalization of the instruments in the Google Forms platform, where the respective section of voluntary acceptance of participation was added, ensuring in turn, the protection of identity and confidentiality. The tests that were used included the International Personality Disorders Examination (IPDE) and the Test of Video Game Dependence (TDV), with which it was possible to determine the personality traits and the level of dependence on video games present in each of the university students evaluated. Finally, the SPSS program was used for the analysis and interpretation of data concerning the predominant personality traits in university students, the prevalent level of dependence and its recurrence in terms of the gender of the population.
