Detailed explanation-1: -Biological Bases of Personality Finally, Eysenck also suggested a third major dimension of personality, which he called Psychoticism. According to Eysenck, this dimension included traits such as aggressiveness, manipulation, tough-mindedness, risk taking, irresponsibility, and impulsivity versus their opposites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Eysenck (1966) later added a third trait / dimension-Psychoticism – e.g., lacking in empathy, cruel, a loner, aggressive and troublesome. This has been related to high levels of testosterone. The higher the testosterone, the higher the level of psychoticism, with low levels related to more normal balanced behavior.
Detailed explanation-3: -That said, high scores on psychoticism are associated with such unattractive propensities as being aggressive, antisocial, cold, egocentric, impersonal, impulsive, tough minded, and unempathetic (Eysenck, 1995).
Detailed explanation-4: -Individuals with higher psychoticism scores are more likely to engage in irresponsible or miscalculated behavior. They may also contravene accepted social norms and be motivated by a need for immediate gratification, regardless of its consequences.
