✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
Hans Eysenck advanced the biological and trait-based approach to personality by proposing the PEN model (Psychoticism, Extraversion, Neuroticism). In this model, a high level of 'Psychoticism' indicates aggressiveness, egocentric behavior, lack of empathy, cruelty, and disregard for social rules in an individual. In contrast, 'Extraversion' is associated with sociability and 'Neuroticism' with emotional instability.
