A comparison of responses of Canadian and English children on the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.

Abstract
The Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire was administered to a sample of 546 boys and 512 girls in Canada in order to compare the factor patterns of the test items with those reported for British children. The results of the factor analyses confirmed a strong similarity between the Canadian and British samples in the loadings of most items on psychoticism, extraversion, neuroticism and social desirability. Factor comparisons were very high and reliabilities satisfactory. No scoring changes in the scales were deemed necessary. A comparison of mean scores for the Canadian and British samples revealed higher scores for the former on psychoticism and neuroticism, lower scores on social desirability and very little difference on extraversion.
