Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: This combination of traits is what makes each of us unique. Some of our unique traits are genetic, others are learned, but it is our personality traits that manifest differences to others and inform them who we are.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. The enigma of self-awareness is that self-awareness is a prerequisite and a motivator of growth and improvement, but that it may also inhibit growth and improvement. Avoiding contradictory information does not improve self-awareness, but rather inhibits growth and improvement because it merely reinforces our current views of ourself.
B) Correct. It is almost impossible to increase skill in self-awareness unless we interact with and disclose ourselves to others, because they see attributes and behaviors that we are unaware of.
C) Incorrect. The sensitive line is a concept that allows us to help manage and facilitate productive self-awareness and discovery in others. Intentionally crossing it is counterproductive to good management.
D) Incorrect. The enigma of self-awareness is that self-awareness is a prerequisite and a motivator of growth and improvement, but that it may also inhibit growth and improvement. Challenging inconsistent information does not improve self-awareness, but rather inhibits growth and improvement because it merely reinforces our current views of ourself.
