Eysenck's Theory Of Personality Analysis

As discussed in Singh (2005), through the centuries personality has been regarded as a practical force in determining success or failure in life. If the person has some socially undesirable traits, he inherited them from his parents. The implication is that neither training nor desire to improve will be of any avail. The implication is that since the physical traits are inherited and thus not subject to change, the personality traits that accompany them are similarly implacable to change (p.122). Scientific psychology emerged after philosophical psychology and new experimental life sciences or better to say experimental psychology joined each other. The initial steps in this regard were taken by German universities in nineteenth

J. Eysenck, who felt that in order to enhance our understanding of problem solving behavior, there is a need to assume acientific research methods and entirely reassess psychoanalytic theory. Eysenck put much effort in classifying human behavior rather than attempting to understand the individual. He attempted to classify human behavior using the concepts of trait and type (p.371). Eysenck 1967 (cited in Singh, 2005, p.126) “identifies the major component of personality features. For instance, people who are considered as an extrovert according to Eysenck’s extroverted type are believed to have charecteristics such as sociability, liveliness, and excitability,” according to Boeree (2006), Eysenck’s hypothesis points to the fact that extroversion/ introversion is the matter of inhibition and excitation in the brain itself. There are two contrasting approaches to psychology in regards with the study of the former is on recognizing the structures and processes which are common among people or better to say the similarities between individuals, the latter tries to investigate the differences among individuals with the purpose of figuring out the major elevant ways that people vary (Rastegar,

In the 1920s, the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung coined the
Due to the significance of speaking skill in learning a foreign language, determining factors that influence the complex process of comprehension is important. One of these factors are introversion/extraversion which have direct impact on learning speaking in L2 language in a way that extraverts are outgoing and use the language more than introverts which are quiet and think inside.
The trait of extraversion and introversion has been identified as a central and reliable dimension of human personality theories. Extraversion and introversion are typically viewed as a single continuum. Thus, to be high in one it is necessary to be low on the other. Jung and the authors of Myers-Briggs provide a different perspective and suggest that everyone has both and extroverted side and an introverted side, with one being more dominant than the other. Rather than focusing on interpersonal behavior, however, Jung defined introversion as an “attitude-type characterized by orientation in life through subjective psychic contents” and extraversion as “an attitude type characterized by concentration of interest on the external object” (Jung, 1995). In any case, people fluctuate in their behavior all the time, and even extreme introverts and extraverts do not
