Personality dimensions of participants who suffer from visual stress were compared with those of normal participants using the Eysenck Personality Inventory. Extraversion-Introversion scores showed no significant differences between the participants who suffered visual stress and those who were classified as normal. By contrast, significant differences were found between the normal participants and those with visual stress in respect of Neuroticism-Stability. These differences accord with Eysenck's personality theory which states that those who score highly on the neuroticism scale do so because they have a neurological system with a low threshold such that their neurological system is easily activated by external stimuli. The findings also relate directly to the theory of visual stress proposed by Wilkins which postulates that visual stress results from an excess of neural activity. The data may indicate that the excess activity is likely to be localised at particular neurological regions or neural processes.
使用艾森克人格问卷，对患有视觉压力的参与者与正常参与者的人格维度进行了比较。外向性-内向性得分在患有视觉压力的参与者和被归类为正常的参与者之间没有显著差异。相比之下，在神经质-稳定性方面，正常参与者和有视觉压力的参与者之间存在显著差异。这些差异符合艾森克的人格理论，该理论认为，在神经质量表上得分高的人之所以如此，是因为他们的神经系统阈值较低，以至于他们的神经系统很容易被外部刺激激活。这些发现也直接关系到威尔金斯提出的视觉压力理论，该理论假设视觉压力是由神经活动过度引起的。数据可能表明，这种过度活动可能局限于特定的神经区域或神经过程。
