Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Working at the Gerontology Research Center of the National Institutes of Health in Baltimore, Maryland, Robert McCrae and Paul Costa embarked on an extensive research program that identified five robust or Big Five factors. These factors are neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. The characteristics of openness are original, independent, creative, and daring.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: There is a similarity between the extraversion and neuroticism factors of McCrae and Costa and the extraversion and neuroticism dimensions proposed by Eysenck. Studies of twins have found that four of the five factors show a stronger hereditary component: neuroticism, extraversion, openness, and conscientiousness.
