Reactive stress tolerance refers to the capacity to maintain a range of adaptive responses when confronted with quickly changing stimuli. It is crucially significant in all sports that demand swift and accurate responses to various types of stimuli. The VTS Sport assesses reactive stress tolerance through the DT (Determination Test, S1). The BFSI (Big Five Structure Inventory) test of VTS Sport is a comprehensive modular personality assessment tool designed to evaluate the Big Five factors: Neuroticism, Extroversion, Openness, Conscientiousness and Agreeableness. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between neuroticism and reactive stress tolerance. This research seeks to explore whether there are significant variations of neuroticism in reactive stress tolerance among Indian athletes. There was no significant relationship between neuroticism and reactive stress tolerance among Indian athletes. Although the findings may be considered modest in scale, they contribute to the broader conversation on stress resilience and emotional stability. This research incorporates recommendations to improve practical applications and outcomes. Further research should be conducted to gain insights on this relatively unexplored topic.
