The Eysenck Personality Inventory Scores in a Group of Psychiatric Patients

Abstract

The Eysenck Personality Inventory (E.P.I.) was developed by Eysenck and Eysenck (1964) to measure two dimensions of personality—extraversion (E) and neuroticism (N). This personality questionnaire has been extensively used in clinical practice and psychosomatic research. In our own department we have been using the E.P.I. as a tool in some psychosomatic investigations, which have been reported in various journals (Verghese, 1970, 1971; Verghese et al. (1971a), (1971b).
