Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. George's 15 is much too high to indicate an internal locus of control.
B) Incorrect. Morgan's 6 is much too low to indicate an external locus of control.
C) Correct. Any score above 7 or so indicates an external locus of control, while a score below 7 indicates an internal locus of control.
D) Incorrect. Higher scores indicate a shift toward more external locus of control. This answer choice incorrectly flips George and Morgan.
