ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hans Eysenck

Hans Eysenck was a very smart man who studied how people think and feel. He wanted to understand why some people are brave and outgoing, while others are more shy and quiet.

He came up with a way to measure people's personalities and put them into categories called "traits." For example, he said that some people are more "extroverted" which means they like to be around lots of other people and have fun, while others are more "introverted" which means they like to be alone sometimes and think things over.

Eysenck also believed that our personalities come from a mix of genetics (which we get from our parents) and our experiences in life. He thought that some people are born with certain personality traits, but others can learn to be more brave or shy depending on what happens to them.

Overall, Eysenck was a very important person in the field of psychology, and his ideas have helped us understand ourselves and others better!
