Abstract
577 men and 567 women were given the 101-item version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, translated into Icelandic. Although some items were inappropriate for use in Iceland, a viable scoring key was suggested and all reliabilities, except perhaps for Psychoticism, were satisfactory. Indices of factor comparison showed very clearly identical factors in both countries. Icelandic and British subjects were compared on the personality factors, using reduced scales comprising only items both scoring keys shared; Icelandic subjects scored lower on all factors, although not always at a statistically significant level.
