Abstract
Extraversion and neuroticism questionnaires were studied from the point of view of the existence of response sets, by correlating scores on congruent and incongruent sets of questions. It was found that congruent sets correlated higher than incongruent sets, but the differences were slight on the whole and suggested that response set is not a powerful determinant of personality questionnaire responses. Validation studies with the MPI (S. B. G. Eysenck, 1962) seem to be in line with this conclusion.Keywords
