The 16 trait model is almostly certainly the one more commonly known as the '16PF' model.
There's some stuff on it in Wikipedia.

Since the model has been around for so long, academics are bound of have analysed it to death and compared and contrasted it to others. Look at the references at the bottom of the Wik entry - that's where I would start.
The equivalent Wikipedia stuff on Eysenck is here.

Ditto for references.
I imagine you are doing a Psychology degree so access to some of this stuff should be straight-forward for you.
That should give you some sources but I'm afraid I'm not offering to do your coursework for you.
