The Hans Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPI) will help you find out your temperament, determine the type of temperament, taking into account the introversion and extraversion of the personality, as well as emotional stability. Diagnostics of self-esteem according to G. Eysenck is, perhaps, a classic method for determining temperament and one of the most significant in modern psychology.

Knowing the temperament of your loved ones and friends will help you get along comfortably in your family and work collective. For example, in some schools, applicants must pass a temperament test. Classes will be formed in accordance with these tests. When hiring, many employers also offer to take a temperament test in order to choose one of the applicants who will successfully fit into the team.

Description of scales
Extraversion - Introversion
Characterizing a typical extrovert, the author notes his sociability and the individual's outward orientation, a wide circle of acquaintances, and the need for contacts. He acts under the influence of the moment, is impulsive, quick-tempered, carefree, optimistic, good-natured, cheerful. Prefers movement and action, tends to be aggressive. Feelings and emotions do not have strict control, prone to risky actions. You can't always rely on him.
The typical introvert is a calm, shy, introjective person who is prone to introspection. Restrained and distant from everyone except close friends. He plans and thinks about his actions in advance, does not trust sudden urges, takes decisions seriously, loves order in everything. He is in control of his feelings, it is not easy to piss him off. Possesses pessimism, values moral standards.
Neuroticism
Characterizes emotional stability or instability (emotional stability or instability). Neuroticism, according to some reports, is associated with indicators of the lability of the nervous system. Emotional stability is a trait that expresses the preservation of organized behavior, situational purposefulness in ordinary and stressful situations. It is characterized by maturity, excellent adaptation, lack of great tension, anxiety, as well as a tendency towards leadership, sociability. Neuroticism is expressed in extreme nervousness, instability, poor adaptation, a tendency to quickly change moods (lability), feelings of guilt and anxiety, anxiety, depressive reactions, distraction of attention, instability in stressful situations. Neuroticism corresponds to emotionality, impulsivity; unevenness in contacts with people, variability of interests, self-doubt, pronounced sensitivity, impressionability, tendency to irritability. The neurotic personality is characterized by inadequately strong reactions in relation to the stimuli that cause them. Individuals with high indices on the neuroticism scale may develop neurosis in unfavorable stressful situations.
Eysenck's circle.
Explanation for the drawing "Eysenck's circle":
Sanguine = stable + extroverted
Phlegmatic = stable + introverted
Melancholic = unstable + introverted
Choleric = unstable + extroverted
The presentation of the results on the scales of extraversion and neuroticism is carried out using a coordinate system. The interpretation of the results obtained is carried out on the basis of the psychological characteristics of a person, corresponding to one or another square of the coordinate model, taking into account the degree of expression of individual psychological properties and the degree of reliability of the data obtained.
Drawing on data from the physiology of higher nervous activity, Eysenck hypothesizes that the strong and weak types, according to Pavlov, are very close to the extraverted and introverted personality types. The nature of introversion and extraversion is seen in the innate properties of the central nervous system, which ensure the balance of the processes of excitation and inhibition.
Thus, using survey data on the scales of extraversion, introversion and neuroticism, it is possible to derive indicators of personality temperament according to the classification of Pavlov, who described four classical types: sanguine (according to the main properties of the central nervous system, it is characterized as strong, balanced, mobile), choleric (strong, unbalanced, mobile), phlegmatic (strong, balanced, inert), melancholic (weak, unbalanced, inert).
"Clean" sanguine(high extraversion and low neuroticism) quickly adapts to new conditions, quickly converges with people, is sociable. Feelings easily arise and change, emotional experiences, as a rule, are shallow. The facial expressions are rich, agile, expressive. He is somewhat restless, needs new impressions, does not regulate his impulses enough, does not know how to strictly adhere to the established routine, life, system in work. In this regard, he cannot successfully carry out a task that requires an equal expenditure of energy, prolonged and methodical tension, perseverance, stability of attention, patience. In the absence of serious goals, deep thoughts, creative activity, superficiality and inconstancy are developed.
Choleric(high extraversion and high neuroticism) characterized by increased excitability, actions are intermittent. He is characterized by sharpness and impetuosity of movements, strength, impulsiveness, vivid expression of emotional experiences. Due to imbalance, carried away by business, he is inclined to act with all his might, to be depleted more than he should. Having public interests, the temperament shows in initiative, energy, adherence to principles. In the absence of spiritual life, choleric temperament often manifests itself in irritability, efficiency, incontinence, irascibility, inability for self-control under emotional circumstances.
Phlegmatic person (high introvesy and high neuroticism) characterized by a relatively low level of activity of behavior, new forms of which are developed slowly, but are persistent. Possesses slowness and calmness in actions, facial expressions and speech, evenness, constancy, depth of feelings and moods. A persistent and stubborn "worker of life", he rarely loses his temper, is not inclined to affect, calculating his strength, brings the matter to the end, is even in relationships, moderately sociable, does not like to chat in vain. Saves energy, does not waste it. Depending on the conditions, in some cases, a phlegmatic person can be characterized by "positive" traits - endurance, depth of thought, constancy, thoroughness, etc., in others - lethargy, indifference to the environment, laziness and lack of will, poverty and weakness of emotions, a tendency to fulfill only habitual actions.
Melancholic(high introversion and high neuroticism). His reaction often does not correspond to the strength of the stimulus, there is a depth and stability of feelings with their weak expression. It is difficult for him to concentrate on something for a long time. Strong influences often cause a prolonged inhibitory reaction in the melancholic (hands drop). He is characterized by restraint and muffledness of motor skills and speech, shyness, timidity, indecision. Under normal conditions, a melancholic is a deep, meaningful person, can be a good worker, successfully cope with life's tasks. Under unfavorable conditions, it can turn into a closed, fearful, anxious, vulnerable person, prone to heavy inner experiences of such life circumstances that do not deserve it at all.
