EPQR-Short (Eysenck, Eysenck & Barrett, 1985) is a selfreported questionnaire. It has 48 items, 12 for each of the
traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and psychoticism, and
12 for the lie scale. Each question has a binary response,
yes or no. Each dichotomous item was scored 1 or 0,
and each scale had a maximum possible score of 12 and
minimum of zero.
Procedure
RESULTS
Table 1 presents the Corrected Item-Total Correlations
for each of the four subscales of the EPQRS-H (i.e.,
extraversion, neuroticism, psychoticism and the lie
scale). The reliability of the extraversion, neuroticism,
psychoticism and lie score subscales were found to be 0.766;
0.772; 0.238; 0.624, respectively. The results indicated
that none of the items were psychometrically poor. The
corrected item-total correlation ranged from 0.201 to 0.538
for extraversion, from 0.196 to 0.556 for neuroticism, from
0.109 to 0.449 for lie scale and from 20.020 to 0.284 for
psychoticism subscale of EPQRS-H. Moreover, none
of the alpha-if item deleted values exceeded the overall
