Detailed explanation-1: -Eysenck proposed that extraversion was caused by variability in cortical arousal. He hypothesized that introverts are characterized by higher levels of activity than extraverts and so are chronically more cortically aroused than extraverts.
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: -The Eysencks (Eysenck, 1990, 1992; Eysenck & Eysenck, 1963) viewed people as having two specific personality dimensions: extroversion/introversion and neuroticism/stability. Hans and Sybil Eysenck believed that our personality traits are influenced by our genetic inheritance. ( credit: “Sirswindon”/Wikimedia Commons)
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
