Subjective noise sensitivity (SNS) was assessed with the Weinstein'sNoise Sensitivity Scale. Personality traits of extro-intraversion and neuroticism wereestimated with the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Concentration problems andtredness during the experiments were neasured with ten-graded, self-rating scales. Therewas no significant effect of noise on the accuracy and speed of mental processingcompared to quiet condition. Correlation analysis revealed a significant negativeinfluence of the level of neuroticism on shollow mental processing in quiet (P < 0.05).Neuroticism also significantly influenced the concentration problems (P < 0.01) andfatigue (P < 0.05) during performance in quiet, and fatigue only under noisy conditions(P < 0.05). No significant correlation was found between the personality traits ofextraversion and SNS, and the performance on mental arithmetic task.
