Question

Imagine Eysenck's original two factors represented in 2-dimensional space. On the y-axis (vertical) is insecurity at the top and security at the bottom. On the x-axis, is the second factor, with introversion on the left and extroversion on the right. The two axes bisect such that there are 4 quadrants. Using this representation, an examinee who is outgoing, friendly, and comfortable in her own skin would be placed in which quadrant?

Answer 1

The individual would be placed in the fourth quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the organization of the Y and X axes presented in the question above, we can see that the quadrants are organized as follows:

First quadrant: Insecure and introverted.

Second quadrant: secure and introverted.

Third quadrant: Insecure and outgoing.

Fourth quadrant: secure and outgoing.

An individual who presents himself as an extrovert, friendly and confrontable with himself, is a person who has high emotional and psychological security, presenting very positive emotional aspects. This means that this person is not insecure and cannot be considered an introverted person, so we can conclude that this person should be placed in the fourth quadrant, which has the characteristics of secure and extroverted.
