Reasoning: Wiki page previously unedited for years. 103.66.51.96 seems to have confused the neurobiology involved as proposed by Cloninger. Reverting this edit puts the table in line with the rest of the page, as well as the HA wikipage. Also checked a study that states high serotonergic activity is said to be related to HA (though the actual biology involved is not quite clear).).

Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) is a personality test.[1] It was devised by C. Robert Cloninger. A newer version of the questionnaire is called Temperament and Character Inventory.

As the name indicates TPQ seeks to measure three dimensions (traits) of the personality. These personality traits are novelty seeking, harm avoidance and reward dependence. Each have four subscales. There are 100 true-false questions which form the basis for the computation of the traits.

The personality test also exists in Chinese,[2] French[3] and German[4] versions.

Neurobiology

Temperament Neurotransmitter system
Novelty seeking Low dopaminergic activity
Harm avoidance High serotonergic activity
Reward dependence Low noradrenergic activity

Cloninger suggested that the three dimensions, novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence, were correlated with low basal dopaminergic activity, high serotonergic activity, and low basal noradrenergic activity, respectively.[5] Much research has gone into examining these links, e.g., with personality genetics.
