Abstract
The study investigated personality variables of extraversion, neuroticism, magnitude of orienting response, and their relationship to stimulation preference using a continuous variable of complexity under diversive exploratory conditions. Ss were asked to rank-order preferences for polygons differing in degrees of complexity. Data indicated extraverts preferred more complexity than introverts; there was a trend for low orienters to prefer more complexity than high orienters. Neuroticism was not a significant factor. The relationships between magnitude and habituation of orienting response and extraversion and neuroticism are discussed.
