Neuroticism is one of the Big Five higher-order personality traits in the study of psychology. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely to be moody and to experience such feelings as anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness.
Hans Eysenck was a behavioral psychologist who considered learned habits of great importance, but he also believed that personality differences grow out of our genetic inheritance. He was, therefore, primarily interested in what is usually called temperament.Temperament is that aspect of our personalities that is genetically based, and present from birth or even before. In devising a temperament-based theory Eysenck did not exclude the possibility that some aspects of personality are learned, but left the consideration of these to other researchers.
Initially Eysenck expressed temperament in 2 dimensions : E for Extraversion/Introversion and N for Neuroticism/Stability. He created a questionnaire called EPQ to evaluate the position of an individual according to these 2 dimensions.Thanks to scientists’ research in this area, we are now able to predict individual’s Neuroticism dimension level. The advantage of a test based on DNA, instead of the questionnaire, is that the result can not be influenced by a lack of truth in answering a questionnaire, or, more simply, a lack of understanding of the questions. The result is a score that shows how your level of neuroticism from your DNA compared to the average population.
The more you tend towards the right part of the graph, the more chances you will show some of the aspects of a neurotic personality (anxiety, worry, fear, frustration, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, loneliness).
