    Type - Cum - Trait Theory: Hans Jurgen Eysenck

    Uploaded by

    Abdul Qayyum
    Hans Eysenck developed a type-cum-trait theory of personality that synthesizes type and trait approaches. He proposed a four-level hierarchy of behavior organization ranging from specific responses to general personality types. Eysenck identified three main personality dimensions - introversion-extroversion, neuroticism-emotional stability, and psychoticism. These dimensions refer to personality types such as introvert, extrovert, neurotic, and psychotic. Eysenck developed personality inventories to assess individuals' traits and types.
