At a guess, I would imagine that a scale(s) of the Openness factor in the Big Five would be the place to start looking. However, that said, I think the paper below makes me believe it is more of a long shot than anything which will lead to something of substancial value? Do you have any views as to where these ideas might go? Bruce Reference; Barrick, M., Mount, M. & Judge, T. (2001).

Several months ago while chatting with Dr. Kenneth Brown at the U of Iowa, he raised the notion with me that there is some isolated research suggesting that an individual's assessment relative to the Big Five can be predictive of future turnover. In short....that some individuals are natuarally disposed to frequent job changes. This seems quite intuitive and anectodally correct, but few have really tackled the notion with solid research.
