Psychology

Over the years, approaches to personality continued to be a very complex and intriguing task that newer assessments of the theories continue to evolve and develop. It has been long argued that personality can never be measured as it is unquantifiable. But in turn of the past years, various researches and approaches have emerged that developed methods that assessed and identified different personalities and how these patterns of personality traits function in an individual (Gines, 2002). The researches that were developed by the theorists, psychologists, and medical practitioners over time have given immeasurable undertaking to the approaches of behavior and personality traits that have become the basis for intervention in different aspects of mental health.

In everyday life, an individuals personality traits are roughly determined by watching the person directly, by asking what other people think about him, or by merely asking him how he would respond in a certain situation. Much of what we know about personality relies on the patterns of behavior that make the person adjust to his environment and how his differences distinguish himself from the others (Eysenck, 1992).

Along with various researches and study of personality, this paper will focus on personality inventories that have been developed by researchers Claude Robert Cloninger, and Hans Eysenck. The aim of this study is to assess the self-report measures of the respondents in reference to the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), and Three Dimensional Model, designed by the above-mentioned researchers. Moreover, this study will also investigate the relationship between the different personality dimensions in relation to the personality inventories that will be used in this research.

Independent and Dependent Variable
The independent variables in this study are the respondents self-assessed questionnaires namely Temperament and Character Inventory, and the Three Dimensional Model. The dependent variable on the other hand, is the personality outcome in relation to the above mentioned assessments.

Research Instruments
The instruments to be used in gathering the data will be the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), EPQ inventory and Neo Personality Inventory. The Temperament and Character Inventory was developed by Cloninger and it attempts to establish differences between people with respect to seven dimensions of temperament and character. The TCI can be administered to individuals from 15 years of age. There are 240 questions of the TCI answerable with correct or incorrect.

The EPQ is another standardized test developed by Hans Eysenck. This questionnaire aims to assess personality and temperament consisting of 100 questions answerable by yes or no.  This EPQ test is widely used among psychologists and intervention specialists in understanding of how introversion and extroversion, combined emotional stability and self-determinism, can shape the personality traits that depicts in much of an individuals behavior.

Respondents
There will be 50 respondents will be randomly chosen and invited to take the inventories. The results of the self assessment will then be collated and will be integrated with the use of statistical formula for generating the relationship between the assessment of personality and the result of the standardized tests.

Hypotheses
H1 There is a significant relationship between Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and Three Dimensional Model in the assessment of personality.

H2 There is no significant relationship between Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI) and Three Dimensional Model in the assessment of personality.
