Eysenckian Personality Theory

Eysenckian Personality Theory suggests that our personalities are influenced by biological factors, particularly in terms of two main dimensions: extraversion-introversion and neuroticism-stability. Extraverts tend to be outgoing and energetic, while introverts are more reserved. Neurotics are more prone to emotional instability and anxiety, whereas emotionally stable individuals are calm and balanced. Eysenck believed that these traits are rooted in differences in the nervous system's activity, shaping how we respond to the world. His theory provides a framework for understanding variations in human personality based on biological and psychological factors.
