Personality was measured through the administration of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2), and face recognition was measured through the administration of the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT). A non-significant correlation between extraversion and face recognition suggests the two variables are unrelated. A marginally significant correlation between negative emotionality and face recognition was negative, which suggests increased negative emotionality is related to decreased face recognition.
