As this volume clearly shows, Hans Eysenck is, in the fullest sense of the term, a general psychologist. In the United States, however, he is most widely known as a personality psychologist, the creator (with his wife Sybil) of the MPI, EPI and EPQ. The task of defining his major accomplishments in the field of personality is therefore easy for Americans: quite simply, Eysenck will be remembered as the psychologist who brought order to the bewildering array of conflicting and overlapping traits by identifying neuroticism and extraversion as fundamental dimensions of personality.
