Personality Inventory Scales and Social Desirability: A Correlational
and Factorial Study

Eysenck
Personality Inventory Form A and Edwards' Social Desirability Scale
were administered to a sample of 167 college students and the data
were analysed correlationally and factorially. The results supported
the hypotheses of negative correlation of Edwards' Social Desirability
Scale (ESD) with Neuroticism (r = - .629, p < .0l) and a positive
correlation with extraversion (r= .196, p < .05). The hypothesis
that High-Extravert-Low-Neurotic group would have a higher mean score
on ESD than the Low-Extravert-High-Nuerotic group was supported at
.01 level. The results are explained in the light of Eysenck's personality
theory.
