ABSTRACT | We investigate the association between temperament and character dimensions, on the one hand,and computerised neuropsychological test performance, on the other hand. Temperament andcharacter dimensions were operationalised as scores on the subscales of the Temperament andCharacter Inventory (TCI), a 240-item measure that is based on the psychobiological theory ofpersonality. Neuropsychological outcomes were measured on six computerised tests of executivefunctioning and abstract reasoning from the University of Pennsylvania Computerised NeuropsychologicalTest Battery (PennCNP). The executive and abstract reasoning tasks included a test ofMotor Praxis (MPRAXIS), the Penn Abstraction, Inhibition and Working Memory Task (AIM), theLetter-N-Back (LNB2), the Penn Conditional Exclusion Task (PCET), the Penn Short Logical ReasoningTask (SPVRT) and the Short Raven’s Progressive Matrices (SRAVEN). Results from thisexploratory study yielded significant associations between neuropsychological performance andtemperament and character traits. The temperament traits of Harm Avoidance and Reward Dependencewere positively correlated with reaction time on the AIM and the SPVRT. The characterdimension of Self-Transcendence was significantly associated with performance accuracy on the AIMand the temperament dimension of Novelty Seeking was inversely related to performance accuracyon the LNB2. These results confirm the importance of addressing the temperament and charactercorrelates of neuropsychological performance in both clinical and non-clinical studies. | ||
