Comparative Analysis of Jung and Eysenck's Theories

Carl Jung divided personality into introverts and extraverts based on the direction of energy flow (libido), which was primarily rooted in his philosophical and clinical experiences.

In contrast, Hans Eysenck utilized statistical Factor Analysis to uncover the biological and genetic foundations of personality, encompassing Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Psychoticism (PEN).
