R Dataset / Package psych / epi.dictionary
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the epi.dictionary data set which pertains to Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) data for 3570 participants. The epi.dictionary data set is found in the psych R package. You can load the epi.dictionary data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("epi.dictionary"). This will load the data into a variable called epi.dictionary. If R says the epi.dictionary data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("psych") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the epi.dictionary R data set. The size of this file is about 3,479 bytes.
Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) data for 3570 participants
Description
The EPI is and has been a very frequently administered personality test with 57 measuring two broad dimensions, Extraversion-Introversion and Stability-Neuroticism, with an additional Lie scale. Developed by Eysenck and Eysenck, 1964. Eventually replaced with the EPQ which measures three broad dimensions. This data set represents 3570 observations collected in the early 1990s at the Personality, Motivation and Cognition lab at Northwestern. The data are included here as demonstration of scale construction.

Details
The original data were collected in a group testing framework for screening participants for subsequent studies. The participants were enrolled in an introductory psychology class between Fall, 1991 and Spring, 1995.
The structure of the E scale has been shown by Rocklin and Revelle (1981) to have two subcomponents, Impulsivity and Sociability. These were subsequently used by Revelle, Humphreys, Simon and Gilliland to examine the relationship between personality, caffeine induced arousal, and cognitive performance.
