1 | p s y c h 2 b 3. Structure of personality: acts to factors: eysenck describes personality in a hierarchy of constructs. Acts are organized into habits, which is organized into traits, organized into (or conditioned by) factors. As we move from acts to factors, we are also moving from most experiential to the most genetically determined aspects of personality. The theory focuses on the most general (and most genetically determined) aspects of personality): the factors. He argues for three independent factors, described as (2nd dimensions: extroversion-introversion dimensions); and most recently, psychoticism-ego control (3rd dimension). (1st dimension); neuroticism-stability: extraversion-introversion (this is inspired by jung. In the western society, extraversion is seen the most desirable trait. However, in other cultures, this is not always the case. In the eastern society, introversion is seen more desirable than extraversion. Moreover, eysenck does not also believe that extraversion is either very positive and introversion is very negative.
