Scale Introduction
Free online Eysenck Emotional Stability Test (EES). Developed by British psychologist H.J. Eysenck, emotional stability is a key indicator for assessing personality traits, which are fundamental reference factors for mental disorders. The EES psychological test consists of 7 factors: depression, anxiety, inferiority complex, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, dependency, hypochondria, and guilt - representing the most common emotional experiences in daily life. The Eysenck Emotional Stability Test (EES) can be considered an upgraded version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ).
