A Hebrew version of Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory was administered to 557 boys from Grades 7 to 11 in Israel. Comparisons of the findings obtained for each of the five age groups indicate the equivalence of Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Lie scales for these particular ages, while comparisons with data from England suggest the cross-cultural equivalence of these personality measures. In the two sets of comparisons, the transferability of these scales was examined in terms of the estimates of internal consistency of the three scales, the pattern of their intercorrelations and of their relations with age and intelligence. Comparisons of factor loadings and item statistics of the Extraversion, Neuroticism, and Lie scale items further suggest that the transferability of the inventory extends to the level of items and also applies to the particular set of exceptional items which detract from the internal consistency and unifactorial structure of the scales.
