The GSRs of S s with high and low scores on the Object Sorting Test, and the Extraversion and Neuroticism scales of the MPI are conditioned in both aversive and non‐aversive situations. It is hypothesized that high scores on the Sorting Test result from a weak attention response and a concomitant weakness of the inhibitory process. In accordance with hypothesis high and low scorers on the Sorting Test are differentiated on a number of non‐aversive conditioning variables. No consistent differences are found in aversive conditioning. Neither E nor N scores are significantly related to conditioning variables.
