Eysenckféle

Eysenckféle refers to a personality questionnaire developed by psychologist Hans Eysenck. It is designed to measure personality traits based on Eysenck's theories of personality. The most well-known versions are the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). These instruments typically assess three broad dimensions of personality: extraversion-introversion, neuroticism-stability, and psychoticism-impulsivity.

Extraversion-introversion describes the extent to which a person is outgoing and sociable versus reserved and solitary. Neuroticism-stability relates to emotional reactivity and the tendency to experience negative emotions like anxiety and depression, contrasted with emotional stability and calmness. Psychoticism-impulsivity, a dimension added later, is characterized by traits such as aggression, impulsivity, and antisocial tendencies, compared to empathy and self-control.

The Eysenckféle questionnaires consist of a series of true-false or yes-no questions. Respondents answer questions that reflect behaviors, feelings, and attitudes associated with each personality dimension. The scoring of the questionnaire yields scores for each dimension, which can then be interpreted according to Eysenck's theoretical framework. These instruments have been widely used in research and clinical settings to understand individual differences in personality and their potential links to various behaviors and psychological conditions.
