Etymology
EPI is made from the first letters of Eysenck, Personality and Inventory, meaning a 'list' or 'test' of personality traits. Because it was created by the psychologist Hans Eysenck, the EPI is still used today as a short questionnaire to measure traits such as extraversion and neuroticism.
