These constant problems are normal for neurotic people and are difficult to eliminate in their life. These individuals do not want to be this way, they often feel overpowering pressure and get nervous over small, unimportant situations. With these high neurotic (N) scores, a person does not have to be taken out of the normal realm of life and they can still lead a normal active life and functions in the workplace admirably (Eysenck, 1968). .
The Jackson Personality Inventory (JPI) measures personality reflecting a variety of interpersonal, cognitive and value orientations likely to have important implications for a person's functioning (Jackson, 1994). This test consists of 300 true/false questions. There are 15 scales that are possible to be achieved and instructions are on the back of the booklet. On each of the scales there are ten true and ten-false keyed statements. The scales were set up in a way to minimize the role of acquienscene and to also permit definition of each pole of the bipolar scale dimensions with positively worded content (Jackson, 1994).
The Jackson Personality trait that is evaluated in this study is Anxiety. Anxiety is within the emotional section of the five Jackson categories. Anxiety is a characteristic in an individual, which causes them stress, tension and fear without providing a clear rationale for this behavior. Anxiety can arise with no consequential situation and the person may not even be aware of when their anxiety is going to flare up. Anxiety is normal trait that all people experience at some point, but when a person experiences constant anxiety and nervousness it is abnormal and is an emotional disorder. These individuals constantly feel worried, irritable and are very easily excitable and shaken at any sudden change out of the normal. A person with high anxiety may also be viewed as being a generally worrisome person in day-to-day activities.
