Hans Eysenck bio

[Guest guest]

Eysenck, Hans – British psychologist, and professor at London University

1955 – 1983. Eysenck is perhaps the best-known of all British

psychologists, partially because of his controversial theories on such

topics as the genetic determination of personality traits, and his theories

of varying intelligence across races. Eysenck developed a well-known

typology of human personality, based essentially upon two dimensions:

introversion – extraversion and neuroticism – psychoticism. The Eysenck

Personality Inventory (EPI), designed around this theory, is still much in

use in employment selection procedures, etc. Hans Eysenck died in 1997.
