Eysenck Maudsley Personality Inventory (48 Items)


Aim:
To assess the personality traits of an individual using the Eysenck Maudsley Personality
Inventory (EMPI).

Objectives:
1. To measure Extraversion and Neuroticism.
2. To understand personality through Eysenck’s Trait Theory.
3. To administer and interpret a standardized psychological test.
4. To study behavioural tendencies scientifically.

Participant Profile:
The participant was a 43■year■old female adult. She was cooperative, attentive, and
willing to participate in the assessment. Testing was conducted individually in a quiet
environment.

Description of the Test:


The EMPI is a self■report inventory developed by Hans J. Eysenck to measure two major
personality dimensions: Extraversion (sociability and activity level) and Neuroticism
(emotional stability versus instability). The inventory consists of 48 Yes/No items and is
widely used for educational and research purposes.

Procedure:
Rapport was established with the participant. Instructions were clearly explained and she
was asked to respond honestly. The questionnaire was completed without time pressure
and scored using the standard scoring key.

Scores Obtained:
Dimension Score
Extraversion 30
Neuroticism 16

Interpretation:
The Extraversion score of 30 indicates that the participant is sociable, expressive, active,
and comfortable interacting with others. She appears energetic and oriented toward
people and real■life engagement.

The Neuroticism score of 16 falls in the low■to■moderate range, suggesting emotional


stability. The participant is generally calm, balanced, and capable of handling stress
without excessive anxiety. Emotional reactions are present but well controlled, reflecting
maturity and adjustment.

Overall Personality Pattern:


The combination of moderately high extraversion and relatively low neuroticism reflects a
well■adjusted personality — socially active, emotionally balanced, and capable of
managing responsibilities effectively.

Conclusion:
The EMPI successfully assessed the participant’s personality traits, showing a socially
engaged and emotionally stable individual. The inventory proved useful in understanding
behavioural tendencies through scientific personality measurement.
