Extract

The Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) was designed by Eysenck and Eysenck (1964) to measure two dimensions of personality—extraversion (E) and neuroticism (N). A high N score on the EPI has been found to dis criminate neurotic patients from normals (Knowles and Krietman, 1965; Eysenck and Eysenck, 1964).
