In psychology, novelty seeking (NS) is a personality trait. It is measured in the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire as well as the later version Temperament and Character Inventory. NS has been suggested to be related to low dopaminergic activity.[1]

In the revised version of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI-R) novelty seeking consists of the following four subscales:

  1. Exploratory excitability (NS1)
  2. Impulsiveness (NS2)
  3. Extravagance (NS3)
  4. Disorderliness (NS4)
