HANS J. EYSENCK
A different model was proposed by Hans Eysenck, who believed that just three traits: extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism
structure of personality
People who are sociable also tend to be impulsive, active, lively and excitable. All these traits combine to form the supertrait
extraversion
is a quiet, retiring sort of person, introspective, fond of books rather than people, he is reserved and distanct except to intimate friends.
introvert
They often have strong emotional reactions to minor frustrations and problems and take longer to recover from these. They are more easily excited, angered and depressed than most of us.
neuroticism
People who score high on this dimension are described as egocentric, aggressive, impersonal, cold, lacking in empathy, impulsive, lacking in corcern for others and generally unconcerned about the rights and welfare of other people.
psychoticism
