Personality psychology - Brain Research
Around the 1990s, neuroscience entered the domain of personality psychology. Whereas previous efforts for identifying personality differences relied upon simple, direct, human observation, neuroscience introduced powerful brain analysis tools like Electroencephalography (EEG), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to this study. One of the founders of this area of brain research is Richard Davidson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Mr. Davidson's research lab has focused on the role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and amygdala in manifesting human personality. In particular, this research has looked at hemispheric asymmetry of activity in these regions.
In December 2005, a self-described "hacker" posted, for free download, a partially finished book entitled "Personality and the Brain". This book, which relies in part on the research of Mr. Davidson, hypothesizes that the Enneagram theory of human personality appears supported by the emerging findings of neuroscience. In particular, this book relies on studies concerning PFC and amygdala asymmetry. As of December 2005, however, this book's hypothesis had not yet been tested.
