Eysenck's Personality Questionnaire (EPQ): Do Your Own Online Test

Initially, Eysenck created two continuum Extraversion-Intraversion and Neuroticism-Stability. Further research showed him the need to add one more inventory: Psychoticism-Socialisation, resulting in the EPQ as we know today which consists of three PEN trait inventory. 

Prior to Eysenck's discovery of Psychoticism, he correlated his original two traits (introversion and neuroticism) with an ancient greek personality system known as the Galen types (Melancholic, Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic). Check out the four quadrants above to see the general description of each Galen type.
