According to Eysenck what best describes an extrovert?

A	Have a need for excitement
B	Are anxious, moody and overreact
C	Are inward-looking, pessimistic and calm
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -According to a particular aspect of Eysenck’s theory of personality, extraversion can be described and explained by the underlying cortical arousal. Extraverts are reported to have a lower level of cortical arousal compared to introverts.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, it could be concluded that according to Eysenck, extroverts seek to increase their arousal while introverts seek to decrease their arousal.

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: -Eysenck has postulated a general theory of criminality that predicts that criminals as a group will have significantly higher scores on the personality dimensions of psychoticism, extroversion-introversion, and neuroticism-stability.
