The purpose of the study is to examine the influence on the index of adolescents’ personality by developing and applying personality-education based on braineducation cultivating the right and sound personality and making their lives independent and creative. The study was conducted to 376 enrolled students(216 male, 160 female) in Benjamin School for Character Education in order to accomplish the aim of the study from January, 2015 to November, 2015. To verify the effectiveness of the study, testing tools are used that are composed of 70 items regarding the ten aspects in the KEDI personality index, such as self-respect, sincerity, honesty, courage, wisdom, self-regulation, manners ,justice, consideration, communication, social responsibility, citizenship, etc. The conclusions of the study are as follows. First, unlike the established one-time personality program, the personality-education based on brain-education needs to be developed and applied to conduct the education consistently. Second, it needs to be employed not only in the curriculum such as subjects, creative-activities, etc but also in the other extra hours such as school events, after-school programs, etc. Third, to maximize its effect, not only courses of hands-on activities, but flipped learning course needs to be implemented rather than one-way lecture courses.
