The article aims to address, in a juxtaposed manner, certain personality traits of the international investigator and the personality characteristics extracted from the psychological profile of the Romanian population. The traits exhibited by the judicial body comes from manuals and interrogation techniques from the perspective of accusatory and non-accusatory styles of interviewing individuals within the criminal process. The resulting characteristics are placed alongside the personality traits emerging from the psychological profile of Romanians, with the purpose of drawing some conclusions regarding the alignment between the suggested behaviours of the person involved in the interrogation process and the Romanians way of being.
From the combined analysis of these two aspects, a certain incongruity has emerged between the Romanian way of being and the expectations attributed to the modern investigator.
