	Great Ideas in Personality--PEN Model
		Eysenck believes that the five-factor model is a hodge-podge of factors and superfactors.
		Eysenck thinks of this as simply a bad way of measuring intelligence, which is a cognitive ability that would be better reflected in I.Q. tests than in self-reports on adjective questionnaires.
		This paper describes Eysenck's contribution to the notion that the personality trait of psychoticism is related to creativity, along with criticisms of this notion.

	Hans J. Eysenck
		By WILLIAM H. Hans J. Eysenck, one of the most distinguished, prolific and maddeningly perverse psychologists of his generation, died on Sept. 4 at a hospice in London.
		Professor Eysenck's professional reputation was worldwide, not because of his sometimes provocative opinions but because of his pioneering empirical approach to the problems of psychology.
		Critics who denounced Dr. Eysenck as racist because of his views on the results of I.Q. testing were often baffled to learn that he had fled Nazi Germany in the early 1930's because of his opposition to Nazi racist ideology.

		Eysenck had a consistently high profile in the media, not only because he was a prolific author whose self-help books sold in the millions, but also because his theories were controversial.
		Eysenck agreed that he was not an emotional man - his own personality type, he said, was such that "I don't know what anxiety means, or depression or fear." When tested by electrodes his reactions proved so muted that it was thought the equipment was faulty.
		Eysenck riposted that the symptoms were the illness.

	Hans J. Eysenck
		Since the 1950s, Dr. Eysenck had vocally propounded the view that the experimental methods used in the physical sciences, particularly statistical tests, should be applied in psychology, psychotherapy and especially psychoanalysis.
		Eysenck fell in love with the subject and was fortunate in being able to study under Sir Cyril Burt, the noted psychologist who was an early advocate of statistical studies, and the legendary statistician Karl Pearson.
		Eysenck graduated in 1938 and received his doctorate, also from the University of London, in 1940.

	The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)
		Eysenck's theory is based primarily on physiology and genetics.
		According to Eysenck's arousal theory of extraversion, there is an optimal level of cortical arousal, and performance deteriorates as one becomes more or less aroused than this optimal level.
		Eysenck's theory remains influential; before his death in 1997, he was the most cited living psychologist, and he is the third most cited psychologist of all time, after Freud and Piaget.

		Eysenck's analysis of the item-sheet data thus demonstrated that a general factor or dimension of neuroticism-normality could be used to categorize psychologically disabled patients, and that the group high in neuroticism could be further subdivided into anxiety neurotics and hysterical neurotics.
		Eysenck's "dysthymia" is not identical to the current use of this term in the DSM and in the clinical nosology, where it refers to reactive or "neurotic" depression.
		Eysenck's first step in untangling the Pavlovian scheme was an assumption that Pavlov had been essentially correct in his biological strategy: Observable differences in the four personalities have their source in less observable inhibition-excitation processes of the nervous system.

		Eysenck suggests that the function of the cortex is to inhibit the activities of lower brain functions.
		Eysenck's polygenic hypothesis receives some support in research cited by Siever and Frucht on the concordance for aggression between fraternal and identical twins that suggests multiple genetic factors rather than a single dominant gene contributes to aggressive behavior.

		Hans Eysenck is one of the most fascinating representatives in the current psychological transition that evolves from a systematic psychology toward a practical and sectoral psychology.
		Eysenck granted a great importance to the social aspects along all its work, to the margin that its perspective is debatable, politically incorrect or caused by its first years of education.

	Hans Eysenck

	Obituary of H.J.Eysenck (Abstract+Article)
		Eysenck was quiet and soft-spoken with just a trace of accent, always helpful and approachable, remembered by his students and colleagues as loyal even when their views differed from his own.
		Eysenck always remembered their first meeting (at a daily discussion group) as if it were yesterday: "I have never believed in love at first sight, and still don't know whether it exists, but what I felt at that moment must have come pretty near to it" (1990:110).
		Eysenck was twice married and is survived by his second wife Sybil, a son from his first marriage (now Professor of Psychology at Royal Holloway College), and three sons and a daughter from his second.

	That's Me! - A Guide To Personality
		Hans J Eysenck is somewhat difficult to identify or classify.
		Eysenck does not keep his nose to only one grindstone, and refuses to be neatly categorized as a theorist.
		He has involved himself with such topics as the relation between smoking and health, criminality, the heritability of intelligence, educational theory and practice, sexual behavior, the effects of psychotherapy, and even astrology; in addition to personality theory and behavior therapy.

		Hans Eysenck was born in Germany on March 4, 1916.
		Eysenck was a behaviorist with an interest in temperament.
		Here, neuroticism refers to a person's nervousness and their frequency of nervous disorders, whereas extraversion-introversion refers to the dominating emphasis of a person's attention and whether it was directed towards the outside world and to other people (i.e., extraversion) or to their inner self (introversion).

	Hans Eysenck (1916-1997)
		Eysenck was no therapist himself -- though his quiet and kindly manner and attentive ear could easily have qualified him as a Rogerian counsellor; but he had the genius of a true intellectual who strove to do work that was of wide relevance and humane import.
		Hans Eysenck grew up in Berlin as the child of an actor father and a filmstar mother who re-married (to a Jewish film producer) when Hans was nine.
		Hans Eysenck will eventually stand as the psychologist who kept the London School together and advanced it massively, even if, qua 'rebel', there was never long to wait before the next assault on unmerited authority and ideologically motivated ignorance.

	APA Presidents Remember: Hans Eysenck - Visionary Psychologist
		Hans Eysenck was clearly one of the great visionaries of twentieth century psychology.
		Hans undertook highly original and influential research on so many topics including the arts and aesthetics- his own doctoral dissertation was in aesthetics- behavior genetics, the behavioral therapies (I believe he coined the term "behavior therapy"), sexual behavior, politics, political attitudes, even research into parapsychology.
		It nicely captures the public persona of Hans, but not the nature of the man. It correctly states: "Hans Eysenck was a psychologist who questioned the scientific validity of psychotherapy and wrote controversial books on intelligence, crime and smoking." He certainly did all of that.

	Personality: Two Ways of Thinking About It - Science - RedOrbit
		HANS Eysenck was one of the first people to combine what Cronbach (1957) called the two disciplines of scientific psychology - the correlational and the experimental.
		Given the scope of the many books, chapters and articles he wrote, I think that Eysenck's work has been and continues to be a major inspiration to the many people who wish to see a synthesis of the experimental and the correlational in psychological research.
		His Hans Eysenck Memorial Lecture, on which this article is based, was given at the BPS Annual Conference in London in April 2004.

	Hans J. Eysenck's contributions to Astrological Research
		In giving Gauquelin's research as an example, Eysenck commented that as far as objectivity of observation, statistical significance of differences, verification of the hypothesis, and replicability are concerned, there are few sets of data in psychology which could compete with these observations and that there is something here that requires explanation.
		In general Eysenck's contributions to astrological research were his insistence that there was an effect to be explained, his insistence that matters be resolved by appropriate experiments, and his refusal to be satisfied with dismissive explanations.

	The Effectiveness of Psychotherapy
		Eysenck’s pivotal paper and the responses to him changed the course of psychotherapy outcome research.
		According to Eysenck, spontaneous remission rate was 72% and the psychotherapy success rate was 67%.
		If you use the same data from the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute Study and use Eysenck's criteria of including the dropouts and defining improvement as those placed in the "Much Improved" category or greater, then the improvement rate for this study is 39%.

		His theory that intelligence is almost entirely inherited and can be only slightly modified by education aroused controversy, as did his support of the idea that planet positions at birth affect personality, and his belief that smoking does not cause lung cancer.
		Eysenck was born in Berlin; he left his native Germany for the UK when the Nazis came to power in the 1930s.
		Eysenck made important studies of emotionality and conditioning, and social attitudes.

		Thus, he argued, that fully to understand the functioning of, for example, cognitive (e.g., attentional bias) or behavioural (e.g., reinforcement effects) processes, it is necessary to consider variations in the operating parameters of personality systems.
		Related to this first theme, Eysenck also advocated the unification of the individual differences tradition and the experimental tradition - two traditions that are still largely separated -- to combine their respective strengths.
		Eysenck’s vision of a unified psychology is now starting to be realised with the technological sophistication of cognitive neuroscience.
