Exercising Women

Two personality characteristics of 21 habitually exercising and 14 nonexercising college students were compared by using the Eysenck Personality Inventory. The former scored higher on Extraversion than the latter. Both groups of men ( ns = 9 and 6), as well as 12 exercising women, scored lower on Neuroticism than 8 nonexercising women.

Eysenck Personality Inventory

Using the Eysenck Personality Inventory, Extraversion and Neuroticism scores were obtained for 120 college students from two-child families. When the effects of birth order and sex of S were examined, a significant interaction occurred for Extraversion, with firstborn males and second-born females reporting higher scores. Higher Neuroticism scores occurred for Ss with opposite-sexed siblings than for those with the same-sexed sibling. Results suggest that Extraversion and Neuroticism are influenced by position in the two-child family.

And Task

Four groups of college students ( ns = 17, 14, 15, and 16) performed a letter-cancelling task under quiet conditions. The quiet was suddenly interrupted for 6 min. by human, mechanical, or white noise; or there was no noise (control). Task efficiency was compared with scores on the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale and the Maudsley Personality Inventory. No significant relationships between personality characteristics, noise conditions, and task efficiency were found.

Correlations of scores on the Eysenck Personality Inventory with those of the SONSO Personality Inventory, a test of five factors of personality, were estimated for 300 junior college students. Extraversion and Neuroticism show reasonably close correspondence to the Shyness and Nervousness scales of the SONSO.

Low Correlation

Data from 138 college students showed that responses to the Kirton Adaption Innovation Inventory are unaffected by social desirability ( r = .03). A subsample of 47 students also completed the Eysenck Personality Inventory Lie scale. The low correlation reported by Kirton for these two instruments was successfully replicated.

Four groups of college students selected on the basis of high or low Eysenck Personality Inventory scores were asked to talk or simply think about a series of slides differing in overt sexual content. Data showed that for both conditions those high on Neuroticism ( n = 8) showed more electrodermal activity than did those scoring low ( n = 8), and over all subjects there was a significant correlation between Neuroticism scores and the physiological measure. High and low scorers on Extraversion scale ( ns = 10) showed no analogous differences in electrodermal activity.

Psychological Inventory

66 female college students rated themselves and their peers on extraversion and filled out the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and the California Psychological Inventory (CPI). The group was dichotomized into Introverts and Extraverts on the basis of their self-ratings and their extraversion scores. Self-rated Introvert and Extravert criterion groups were significantly different from each other and from the total group on Extraversion score and Introvert and Extravert groups as determined by Extraversion score were significantly different from each other and from the total group on the basis of self-ratings, thus supporting the validity of the extraversion scale. Correlations of scores on the EPI and the CPI support the validity of the extraversion and neuroticism scales.

37 college students were tested with the Eysenck Personality Inventory and a sentence-comprehension task to determine the relation between extraversion and rate of information processing. Orally presented sentences contained task instructions, and speech rate was varied by an electronic speech compressor. Errors with very rapid speech rate were unrelated to extraversion.

Several writers have suggested that female homosexuals have personality profiles that differ from those of female heterosexuals, but these profiles are not pathological in nature. This hypothesis was tested on 46 “normal” female homosexuals using the California Psychological Inventory, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. There was only a slight personality pattern difference between the groups and neither group showed a pathological personality patttern.

103 college students were assessed for extraversion level on the Eysenck Personality Inventory and for assertiveness on the Adult Self-expression Scale. A significant correlation of .46 indicated a substantial positive relationship between these characteristics. Subjects were classified as being low, medium, or high on both characteristics, and it was determined that those scoring at either extreme on one variable were about equally distributed between the same extreme and the medium level on the other variable. Nine subjects scoring congruently at each level on both extraversion and assertiveness were also given the California Psychological Inventory to explore general personality trait differences between the two extreme groups. Low extraversion—low assertiveness subjects scored significantly lower than high—high subjects on scales measuring poise, ascendancy, self-assurance, and interpersonal adequacy but significantly higher on scales measuring socialization, maturity, responsibility, and intrapersonal structuring of values.
