“…The rationale for this prediction was that individuals with high levels of emotionality may be uncomfortable with the sensation-seeking aspects of the daredevil preference (e.g., Glicksohn & Abulafia, 1998). We believed that extraversion would be positively associated with the daredevil and socializer preferences because extraversion is closely linked with sensation-seeking and sociability (e.g., Campbell & Heller, 1987;Glicksohn & Abulafia, 1998). We expected conscientiousness to be positively associated with the achiever preference because conscientiousness is often the most important predictor above and beyond cognitive variables in explaining individual differences in academic and occupational performance (e.g., Laidra, Pullmann, & Allik, 2007;Paunonen & Ashton, 2001).…”

“…The MPQ and MPQ-BF Harm Avoidance scales are sensitive to the tendency to engage in potentially harmful behaviors (Tellegen, 1982;Patrick et al, 2002), and the TPQ Novelty Seeking (Cloninger, 1986), EPI Impulsivity, EPQ-P (Acton, 2003), MPQ Constraint, MPQ Control (Tellegen, 1982;Patrick et al, 2002), and P-ImpUSS scales (Zuckerman, 1989) can provide specific measures of impulsivity. Measures of each of these three dimensions correlate with self-reported sensation seeking (Zuckerman, 1989;Depue and Collins, 1999;Patrick et al, 2002;Campbell and Heller, 1987). …”

“…One factor that may contribute to these inconsistencies is the fact that sensation seeking is a complex personality dimension, which appears to involve several conceptually distinct emotional tendencies. Sensation seeking may include the tendency to respond strongly to external rewards, the tendency to fearlessly approach potentially harmful situations, and the tendency to act impulsively (Campbell and Heller, 1987;Zuckerman, 1989Zuckerman, , 1993Glicksohn and Abulafia, 1998). These specific tendencies can be measured separately by other personality scales.…”

Individual differences in the positive mood and other subjective effects of d-amphetamine have been linked to personality traits related to sensation seeking. The current study extends these associations to separate personality traits of reward sensitivity, physical fearlessness, and impulsivity. A total of 128 healthy volunteers received oral doses of d-amphetamine (10 and 20 mg) or placebo in counterbalanced order. Their responses to the drug were measured using the Profile of Mood States, Addiction Research Center Inventory, and Drug Effects Questionnaire. Participants completed the Multidimensional Personality Questionnaire Brief Form to assess personality traits related to reward sensitivity (Agentic Positive Emotionality and Social Potency (SP)), physical fear (Harm Avoidance (HA)), and impulsivity (Control (CL)). Participants were rank ordered on each trait, and individuals with scores in the top and bottom thirds of scores on each trait were compared using ANCOVA. High trait physical fearlessness (low HA) was associated with greater positive activational effects of 10 mg d-amphetamine. High trait reward sensitivity (high SP) was marginally associated with greater positive activational effects of 20 mg d-amphetamine. High trait impulsivity (low CL) was unrelated to positive drug effects in response either dose. The two separate personality traits of physical fearlessness and reward sensitivity are associated with d-amphetamine effects on mood in healthy volunteers. Implications for the vulnerability to psychostimulant addiction in healthy nonaddicts are discussed.

“…The four-factor model appeared to be the best fit for the data compared with other competing models. As evidence of convergent validity, the MBTI continuous scores Personality characteristics associated with susceptibility to false memories 7 (used in this study) have been shown to be correlated with other comparable tests of personality, such as the California Psychological Inventory (Campbell & Heller, 1987). Other studies have revealed that the four MBTI scales correspond to four of the big five personality domains, excluding emotional stability (Plake & Impara, 2001).…”

This study examined whether certain personality characteristics are associated with susceptibility to false memories. Participants first answered questions from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in order to measure various personality characteristics. They then watched a video excerpt, the simulated eyewitness event. They were next encouraged to lie about the videotaped event during an interview. A week later, some participants recognized confabulated events as being from the video. Two personality characteristics in particular--the introversion-extroversion and thinking-feeling dimensions--were associated with susceptibility to false memories.
