Document Summary
Researchers find little support that defense mechanisms disguise and aggressive impulses. A disposition to feel and act, as assessed by self-report inventories and peer reports. Example: you walk just as much as when you are at a wedding and when you are at a funeral. Hans and sybil eysenck use two primary personality factors as axes for describing personality variation. People can be either introverted, extraverted or both. People"s personalities are a combination of where they are on the scale. Someone can be either very high or very low or right in the middle. There are 5 independent backers of personality. Preference for variety versus preference for routine. We aren"t 100% sure that there are only five factors involved. There are people who are messy but are able to accomplish their work very well. We may not have all of the personality dimensions. Should not be used with common people. Situational influences on behavior are more important to consider.
