Answer:
Ans. H.J. Eysenck proposed that personality could be reduced to two dimensions. These dimensions are presumed to be biologically and genetically based. They are opposed to each other. These dimensions include numerous specific traits. These dimensions are as follows: Neuroticism vs. Emotional Stability: It refers to the degree to which people have control over their feelings. At one extreme of this dimension are highly neurotic people. They are anxious, moody, touchy, restless and quickly loose control. People, who are calm, even-tempered, reliable and remain under control, occupy the other extreme. Extroversion vs. Introversion: It refers to the extent to which people are socially outgoing or socially withdrawn. At one extreme are those who are active, gregarious, impulsive and thrill-seeking. At other extremes are the people who are passive, quiet, cautious and reserved. Psychotism vs. Sociability: A third dimension was developed by Eysenck later. This dimension results due to interaction with the above-mentioned two dimensions. A person who scores high on psychotism dimension tends to be hostile, ego-centric and anti-social. Sociability refers to tendency of individual to follow social norms.
