The “Individual Innovativeness Scale,” which was developed by Hurt, Joseph, and Cook (1977) and adapted to Turkish by Kılıçer and Odabaşı (2010), and the “Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale” developed by Diker-Coşkun (2009) were used during the data collection process. Data was analyzed using comparison techniques and multiple linear regression analysis. According to the results, individual innovativeness levels of some preservice teachers are high, and some are low. The preservice teachers are in the questioning category of individual innovativeness. While a statistically significant difference was found between their individual innovativeness according to the preservice teachers’ faculty, there was no significant difference according to gender. Lifelong learning tendencies are above the medium level, and significantly differ according to gender and faculty variables. Lifelong learning tendencies of preservice teachers predict 30% of their individual innovativeness levels
