Abstract
Based on derivations from the theories of Witkin and Eysenck, it was predicted that field-dependent introverts would have a higher incidence of neuroticism (above the 70th percentile, as measured by personality tests) than any other combination of the field-dependence and extraversion dimensions. The relationship was verified six times utilizing data from previously completed studies. Broad implications of the possibly genetically based results are discussed and potentially fruitful areas of investigation are noted.Keywords
