BBH 432- Exam 3 Questions and 100%
Correct Answers
Personality ✅Characteristic pattern of how an individual thinks, feels, and behaves
Personality Traits ✅Specific characteristics that make up an individual's personality,
and these traits are stable over time (as opposed to states, or emotional responses that
change rapidly, sometimes from moment to moment)
Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) ✅The collection of 16 purported personality
types that are supposed to correspond with what jobs you are most suited for and how
successful you might be as a leader or manager
Developed by Katherine Briggs and Isabel Brigg Meyers, writers
There's little evidence that the MBTI measures a stable "type" over time
There's little evidence that the MBTI is closely associated with the things it purports to
predict (job satisfaction and successj
Eysneck's Theory ✅Hans Eysneck, German psychologist
Believed personality was not simply formed at birth or exclusively the result of
parenting, but was influenced by a combination of both biological and environmental
influences
His original ideas centered on two main personality traits: *extraversion/introversion*
and *neuroticism/stability*
Later added *psychoticism*
PEN Model of personality: Psychoticism, Extroversion, and Neuroticism
Psychoticism ✅The tendency to not conform to social norms, or, the measure of how
well you conform to social rules
Someone who is high in psychoticism may be: more creative, less inhibited by social
norms, and more impulsive, more likely to make decisions on the spur of the moment
without regard to negative consequences or punishment
Extroversion ✅More outgoing and talkative
Are energized by spending times in groups rather than alone
"Shyness" is not the same as introversion
, Eysenck suggests those who score HIGH in extroversion more likely to have lower
baseline levels of cortisol
Believed they seek stimulation from interactions with groups of ppl
Suggested they have more reactivity to social interactions, so these interactions
seemed to be energizing
Eysenck suggests those who score LOW in extroversion (introverts) more likely to have
higher baseline levels of cortisol and less need to seek out stimulation
Someone who scores LOW in extroversion: may not be anxious about social interaction
in groups, necessarily, but may find that they require more energy demand and are less
invigorating
Neuroticism ✅Someone who scores HIGH in neuroticism tend to have more negative
emotional responses to events
More likely to be anxious, irritable, agitated, or angry, especially in response to
unexpected events
Worry more and focus more on the negative aspects of (or negative emotions
associated with) an event
The Big Five Model of Personality ✅Eysenck's work became the foundation
Other researchers added or refined pieces of Eysenck's original traits
Costa and McCrae eventually added scales that measured traits they called
Agreeableness, Openness, and Conscientiousness to Eysenck's original Extroversion
and Neuroticism to come up with what has become the *Big Five Personality Traits*
Openness ✅Part of the Big Five Personality Traits
The tendency of someone to be creative and imaginative (therefore open to new ideas
and experiences)
Someone who scores HIGH might prefer variety and engage in novelty seeking
Someone who scores LOW might prefer routine and consistency
Conscientiousness ✅Part of the Big Five Personality Traits
Someone who scores HIGH more likely to be organized, reliable, and ambitious. More
likely to plan ahead and be more detail oriented
Someone who scores LOW usually more impulsive and disorganized. More likely to
neglect details and are often less prompt
Agreeableness ✅Part of the Big Five Personality Traits
