Detailed explanation-1: -Eysenck (1967, 1994) proposed in his biological theory of personality that high neuroticism is associated with increased reactivity of the limbic system, which predisposes individuals high in neuroticism to react strongly to emotionally arousing experiences and take longer to return to pre-arousal states.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Eysenck, the three independent dimensions of personality are Psychoticism (P), Extraversion (E), and Neuroticism (N), which is why it’s called the PEN model.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eysenck’s theory argues strongly that biological predispositions towards certain personality traits combined with conditioning and socialization during childhood in order to create our personality. This interactionist approach may, therefore, be much more valid than either a biological or environmental theory alone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Within the personality field, Eysenck’s influential Big Three model defines three core personality traits: extraversion, neuroticism, and psychoticism.
