83 undergraduates at the University of Texas (Austin) were administered two forms of the Manifest Anxiety Scale, Neuroticism, and Extraversion scales. One form called for traditional true/false responses; the other, responses along a 6-point continuum. Correlations were obtained across and within scoring conditions. Results largely confirm those reported by Bendig. As with Bendig's study, a significant relationship was found between Extraversion and Neuroticism, contrary to Eysenck's original thesis.
