Detailed explanation-1: -Using factor analysis to devise his theory, Eysenck (1947, 1966) identified three factors of personality: extroversion, neuroticism and psychoticism. Each of the Eysenck Theory factors is a bipolar dimension, meaning that each has a direct opposite: Extroversion vs. Introversion.
Detailed explanation-2: -A look at Hans Eysenck’s theory of three dimensions of personality. The PEN model is a biological theory of personality developed by influential psychologist Hans Eysenck (1916-1997). The model focusses on three broad personality factors: psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism (PEN).
Detailed explanation-3: -Eysenck (1947) found that their behavior could be represented by two dimensions: Introversion / Extroversion (E); Neuroticism / Stability (N). Eysenck called these second-order personality traits. Each aspect of personality (extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism) can be traced back to a different biological cause.
Detailed explanation-4: -Psychoticism Page 12 These three basic dimensions refer to definite personality types i.e. introvert, extrovert, neurotic and psychotic. However, the term ‘type’ as applied by Eysenck stands clearly for dimensions along a scale with a low end and a high end for putting people at various points between the two extremes.
