Three major sources of information about audit work during pre-socialization have been identified, included learning experiences, reference group and school education. And there were three major dimensions of the pre-socialization of audit work named professional knowledge, job process and interpersonal relationship. Survey data （N=361） were collected from the students of Accounting Department who have already studied the course of Auditing in four universities. There were significant canonical relations between the personality traits and the three sources of information seeking. The personality traits named extraversion, and openness to experience were positively associated with learning experiences and reference group； but the personality traits named neuroticism was negatively associated with both sources. Also, there were significant canonical relations between the three sources of information seeking and the pre-socialization of audit work.
