Eysenck's theory of personality

Eysenck's theory of personality proposes that individual differences can be understood through three core dimensions: extraversion (outgoing vs. reserved), neuroticism (emotional stability vs. anxiety), and psychoticism (impulsivity vs. self-control). He believed these traits are biologically based, influenced by our nervous system's arousal levels. For example, extraverts tend to seek stimulation because their arousal levels are relatively low, while introverts prefer less stimulation. Neuroticism relates to emotional reactivity, with higher levels indicating greater vulnerability to stress. Psychoticism involves traits like impulsiveness and aggressiveness. Overall, Eysenck's model links personality to biological factors influencing behavior and feelings.
