Many studies have been conducted in the past that have investigated the effect of personality on our mental abilities. For example, Hannon et al. (1995) conducted research on the effects of extraversion and introversion on long-term and short-term memory. The results show that extroverts made fewer errors than introverts when it came to short-term and long-term memory. In this present study we aim to investigate the effects of extraversion and introversion on time perception. Since the directional hypothesis suggests that there will be a negative correlation between extraversion and time perception, it is subsequently noted that this is not the case, resulting in the hypothesis being rejected. It would be safe to say that more research into personality and time perception is needed. Introduction: The study of personality and time perception is an appealing selling point for psychology, as it demonstrates how important psychology is to understanding the human mind. Despite the endless attributions of these topics, much research has been conducted in these areas. Personality has had its fair share of attention in the world of psychology, and Hans Eysenck is definitely someone who has made a contribution to what we know when understanding personality. Eysenck developed a theory of personality, in which he used factor analysis to structure his beliefs. His theory is composed of three fundamental dimensions of personality: psychoticism, neuroticism and extraversion (Eysenck, 1970; Eynsenck and Eysenck, 1985, cited in Martin, Carlson, Buskist, 2009). These bipolar factors all have their opposites. Where psychoticism is the opposite of self-control, extroversion is the opposite of introversion, and neurot… middle of the card… and they always had to remain silent. When a participant thought their time was up, they would have to raise their hand, one of the timekeepers would come over and give them a little tap on the shoulder and note down the time it took them to raise their hand (each timekeeper was assigned to a section of the class, for monitoring purposes). If participants reached 6 minutes without raising their hand, the experimenter would stop the study. The experimenter then sat down all the participants and had them review the questionnaires.
