✦ Synopsis

To verify the theoretically important independence of the personality dimensions of extraversion (E) and neuroticisin (N) as neasured by the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI), correlations between the E and N scales were computed for 7 separate samples with a total of 1478 Ss. No significant correlations were obtained; values of the coefficients ranged from .122 to -.158, with a median r of -.004. E and N correlations computed on extreme groups constituted on the basis of age and response distortion (lie scale scores) yielded similarly small and quite non-significant values.
