  • Document 1 of 1 Primary scale structure of the eysenck personality profiler (EPP) Author: Jackson, Chris J; Francis, Leslie J ProQuest document link Abstract: Whether three or five dimensions are best able to explain and describe personality has been one ofthe major questions debated by personality researchers in recent times. The primary scales of the EysenckPersonality Profiler (EPP) and the short version (EPP-S) were examined using a sample of 400 students todetermine their factor structure. Results by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the EPPfits both a three-and five-factor structure reasonably well, while the EPP-S has a much better three-factorstructure. The differences are explained in terms of the number of primary scales included by the authors ineach of the tests. It is concluded that it is premature to believe that the five-factor structure provides the bestdescription of personality.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] Publication title: Current Psychology Volume: 22 Issue: 4 Pages: 295-305 Publication year: 2004 Publication date: Winter 2004 Year: 2004 Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media Place of publication: New York Country of publication: Netherlands Publication subject: Psychology ISSN: 10461310 Source type: Scholarly Journals Language of publication: English Document type: Feature DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12144-004-1035-9 ProQuest document ID: 850830340 Document URL: http://search.proquest.com/docview/850830340?accountid=15859 Copyright: Springer 2004 Last updated: 2011-09-26 Database: ProQuest Central
