INVESTIGATING THE ASSOCIATION AMONG EXTROVERSION, AROUSAL, ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERBAL ABILITY AND ANALYTICAL ABILITY

The present study aims at finding the patterns and magnitude of association between Extroversion and Arousal as was claimed in Eysenck’s (1967) theory that Introverted and extroverted personalities have different levels of cortical arousal. Furthermore, the study attempts to find out the relationship between extroversion and Verbal and Analytical abilities. For this purpose, 30 graduates preparing for NAT in Allama Iqbal College of Commerce Bahawalpur participated in the study. Data were collected through four standardized and two non-standardized tests and Descriptive and Pearson correlation analyses were employed. The results revealed that none of the variables is significantly correlated with each other, except that, moderate correlation was found between teacher-made non-standardized Verbal test and Standardized Verbal test. Non-standardized Verbal and Analytical tests were also correlated with each other. The findings of the study provide no support to Eysenck’s theory of cortical arousal and that Extroversion has no significant impact on Verbal and Analytical abilities
