Conducted a cross-cultural study of the Impulsiveness Questionnaire (I-sub-7). 476 Egyptian males and 486 females completed both the I-sub-7 and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire translated into Arabic. Factor comparisons were high for Impulsiveness, Venturesomeness, and Empathy, suggesting very good agreement in Egypt with these factors as measured in England. Males scored lower on Impulsiveness and Empathy but higher on Venturesomeness than females. Egyptian Ss of both sexes scored lower on Impulsiveness and Venturesomeness but higher on Empathy than their English counterparts.
