Detailed explanation-1: -At the core of Eysenck’s theory is the role played by three personality traits: (1) extraversion-introversion, (2) neuroticism, and (3) psychoticism. The bulk of research into the validity of Eysenck’s arguments concerns the measurement of these traits in criminal and noncriminal populations.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to Eysenck’s theory of personality, extraverts’ cortical arousal at rest is lower compared to that of introverts. Scholars have thus hypothesized that extraverts should benefit from background music in cognitive tasks, whereas introverts’ performance should decline with music in the background.
Detailed explanation-3: -Psychoticism-Normality This third dimension of personality ranges from normality (low psychoticism) to high psychoticism. Individuals with higher psychoticism scores are more likely to engage in irresponsible or miscalculated behavior.
