Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) data for 3570 participants
Description
The EPI is and has been a very frequently administered personality test with 57 measuring two broad dimensions, Extraversion-Introversion and Stability-Neuroticism, with an additional Lie scale. Developed by Eysenck and Eysenck, 1964. Eventually replaced with the EPQ which measures three broad dimensions. This data set represents 3570 observations collected in the early 1990s at the Personality, Motivation and Cognition lab at Northwestern. An additional data set (epiR) has test and retest information for 474 participants. The data are included here as demonstration of scale construction and test-retest reliability.

Details
The original data were collected in a group testing framework for screening participants for subsequent studies. The participants were enrolled in an introductory psychology class between Fall, 1991 and Spring, 1995.
The actual items may be found in the epi.dictionary.
The structure of the E scale has been shown by Rocklin and Revelle (1981) to have two subcomponents, Impulsivity and Sociability. These were subsequently used by Revelle, Humphreys, Simon and Gilliland (1980) to examine the relationship between personality, caffeine induced arousal, and cognitive performance.
The epiR data include the original group testing data and matched data for 474 participants collected several weeks later. This is useful for showing that internal consistency estimates (e.g. alpha or omega) can be low even though the test is stable across time. For more demonstrations of the distinction between immediate internal consistency and delayed test-retest reliability see the msqR and sai data sets and testRetest.
