Forty male Anglican clergy completed the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire during mid-career development consultations. The findings that the clergy display elevated neuroticism scores and psychoticism scores no lower than men in general contradict predictions emerging from recent studies concerned with the relationship between personality and religion and suggest the need for further research.

The present investigation describes some personality characteristics of a group of professional artists. The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was sent to 337 painters and sculptors living in West Germany. Most of them were members of the German Artists Association and were free practicing artists or professors at Art Academies. 147 male and 110 female artists returned completed forms. Data indicated that male artists were lower on Extraversion and higher on Neuroticism than a group of 300 male non-artists. Female artists were more extraverted than male artists, but their means on Neuroticism were nearly identical. Male non-artists were lowest on Neuroticism. Artists were also higher on Psychoticism than non-artists.

Analysis of 102 undergraduate women's responses replicated the 1993 findings of Janzen, Saklofske, and Kelly considering the relationship between personality characteristics based on the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire—Revised and bulimic symptomatology as measured by the BULIT—R. Consistent with Janzen, et al., the strongest relationship with bulimic symptomatology was for Neuroticism. Also consistent was the lack of relationship with Extraversion scores. At variance with the earlier findings was a weak positive association between reports of bulimic symptoms and scores on Psychoticism.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate some personality characteristics of especially successful artists in comparison with those of less successful artists. In a recent study (Götz & Götz, 1979) 257 painters and sculptors had been given the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. From this group four art experts selected the names of 60 well-known artists. Another group of 18 art experts judged the degrees of success of these artists and also their ‘contributions to the development of contemporary art’. Successful artists scored much higher on Psychoticism than the less successful artists. No significant differences between the means on Extraversion, Neuroticism, and the Lie scale were found. Scores for success of the 18 most successful artists were correlated with their corresponding rating of contributions. No significant correlation was found. It was concluded that success in the arts (as defined in this study) may not be synonymous with originality.

This study examined the relationships, using regression analysis, among bulimic symptomatology, body-image characteristics, and personality factors in a nonclinical sample of 46 undergraduate university men. They completed the Bulimia Test—Revised (a measure of bulimic symptomatology), the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire–Revised (a measure of personality characteristics), and the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (a multidimensional measure of body-image parameters). Statistically significant relationships were identified among Appearance Evaluation, Neuroticism and Psychoticism, and the BULIT-R scores.

This study was designed to assess the personality characteristics and psychological problems of parents of mentally retarded children. Seventy-six parents, whose mean age was 42.12 yr with SD 10.15. 38 of mentally retarded and 38 of normal children, were investigated. A Bengali version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was used to measure the psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion-introversion responses of the parents. Results showed that parents of mentally retarded children had significantly higher scores only on the neuroticism scale, indicating that they were more emotionally unstable than the parents of normal children. The findings were discussed in terms of certain constraining factors associated with having a mentally retarded child. Counseling programmes for these parents should take into account these factors.

While extrovert individuals tend to obtain their energy from other people, and they love talk, they interact, participate, lead, and socialize, introvert individuals direct their energy and attention inward and reflect on their own thoughts, memories, and feelings. Based on the introversion-extroversion personality characteristics, the present study sought to determine who performs better in science subjects between introverts and extroverts, and demonstrate these relationships by gender. The assumption was that while science classrooms require a great deal of interaction among the learners, these contrasting dimensions of personality trait could be reflected in classrooms and bear some implications on students’ learning and achievement. We employed a modified Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) to identify students’ personality (N=345) along introversion-extroversion scale and correlated these with their academic performance obtained from their National Form Two (Grade 9) Exam which is considered of high quality and standard. A comparison within sex revealed that introvert girls performed significantly better than extrovert girls whereas extrovert boys performed significantly better than introvert boys. When a comparison was made between sexes, it was revealed that extrovert boys had significantly higher grades compared to extrovert girls while introvert girls had significantly higher grades compared to introvert boys. Overall then, the study revealed a statistically significant correspondence of higher grades with introvert girls and extrovert boys, and lower grades with extrovert girls and introvert boys. The study implications and suggestions are made to inform instruction, guidance, and intervention.

Previous research has demonstrated a relationship between Machiavellianism and a preference for business occupations. The present study tested the hypothesis that this Machiavellian-business connection is mediated by other personality characteristics. Support was obtained for predictions that, compared to Non-Business High Machs, Business High Machs would (i) differ little on Neuroticism (low) or Psychoticism (high), but (ii) score significantly higher on Extraversion, as measured by the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The links between sociability (Extraversion), toughmindedness (Psychoticism) and skills in interpersonal manipulation (Machiavellianism) are discussed in terms of their complementary implications for effective business behavior.

This paper attempts to construct a simplified system for the classification of personality disorders, and relates this system to normally distributed human personality characteristics. One hundred and forty-eight subjects with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses were evaluated using the SCID-II structured clinical interview for personality disorders. A four-factor solution of personality disorder symptoms was obtained and we labelled these factors ‘the four As’ : antisocial, asocial, asthenic and anankastic. The factors related to the four temperament dimensions of the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), but less closely to Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) dimensions. The four factors were similar to those identified in a number of studies using a variety of assessment methods and this lends some credibility to our findings. It suggests that a more parsimonious set of trait descriptors could be used to provide simpler, less overlapping categories that retain links with current clinical practice. In addition, these factors can be seen as extremes of normally distributed behaviours obtained using the TPQ questionnaire.
