The impact of human capital on individual occupational status has been studied extensively and continuously in economics. However, there are relatively few empirical studies on the role of non-cognitive ability in human capital because of the limit of measurement methods and data. Using the data of 2010 and 2012 Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) , examines the impact of non-cognitive abilities on occupational status based on the "Big five" personality classification criteria which is widely used to measure non-cognitive abilities. The results show that the logic dimension under conscientiousness, the trust dimension under agreeableness and the value dimension under openness have significant and stable positive effects on individuals occupational status acquisition. The influence of non-cognitive ability on individual occupational status was heterogeneous between male and female、urban and rural. The research shows that family, school and society should cultivate the corresponding non-cognitive ability in a targeted manner when they cultivate individual ability.
