Abstract
The relationships of Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire dimensions to mood and to the Eysenck personality dimensions and Barratt's impulsivity scores are presented. Some aspects of temperament appear to be mood related, but most are not. Correlations with the other personality measures were largely as predicted. However, Exploratory Excitability correlated negatively with Harm Avoidance rather than with Novelty Seeking. Factor analysis supported this relationship. Reward Dependence was weakly represented by the other personality measures and may be tapping unique behaviours.
