“…The TCI-R consists of 240 items, distributed in seven subscales that assess temperament dimensions (Novelty, Harm Avoidance, Reward Seeking, and Persistence) and character dimensions (Self-Direction, Cooperativeness, and Self-Transcendence). The instrument uses a 5-point Likert-type response scale and the Spanish language version has been validated, obtaining acceptable reliability coefficients in all subscales (Cronbach's alpha between 0.65 and 0.85), similar to those of the original version [32].…”

(1) Background: Bariatric surgery (BS) is highly effective for treating severe obesity in the long term. However, studies investigating predictors and personality profiles linked to BS success yield inconsistent results due to varying methodologies and limited research. This paper aims to identify personality profiles associated with BS success. (2) Method: The study involved 67 patients undergoing bariatric surgery, evaluated through clinical and personality measures. Weight loss was monitored at 6, 12, and 24 months post-surgery. Hierarchical case cluster analysis and iterative k-means cluster analysis identified distinct groups based on excess body mass index loss (%EBL) at these intervals. ANOVA was employed to compare personality profiles between groups. (3) Results: Average weight loss after 24 months was 67.2%. Two success profiles emerged: 46.5% showed very good success, achieving 90% EBL in 24 months, while 55% in the second cluster had less than 40% EBL throughout follow-up. The successful profile correlated with greater self-efficacy and improved emotional adjustment. (4) Conclusions: Successful BS outcomes were linked to personality traits promoting sustained weight loss post-surgery.
