Extraversion :
is characterized by being outgoing, talkative, high onpositive affect (feeling good), and in need of external
stimulation.Neuroticism/Stability neuroticism or emotionality is
characterized by high levels of negative affect such asdepression and anxiety. Neuroticism, according to
Eysenck's theory, is based on activation thresholds in
the sympathetic nervous system or visceral brain. This
is the part of the brain that is responsible for the fight-or-flight response in the face of danger.

Professor Lester, formerly of Cambridge University
and now professor of psychology at the Richard
Stockton College in New Jersey, said: "Caffeine
production has been hypothesized to be associatedwith low national levels of neuroticism.
"Caffeine appears to stimulate the sympathetic
division of the autonomic nervous system and so may
be ingested more by people who have low levels ofsympathetic activation in order to raise their levels.''

Jungian theory of psychic energy
Eysenck's theory of temperament
Biological factorsThe relative importance of nature versus environment in determining the
level of extroversion is controversial and the focus of many studies. Twin studiesfind a genetic component of 39% to 58%. In terms of the environmental component,
the shared family environment appears to be far less important than individual
environmental factors that are not shared between siblings.
