Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correct. People with a creating cognitive style are likely to prefer experimentation, nonrational thinking, and creativity. This leads them to choose careers where personal interactions predominate.
B) Incorrect. Individuals with a knowing cognitive style prefer jobs that have a technical problem-solving emphasis. Individuals with a creating cognitive style tend to choose careers where personal interactions predominate.
C) Incorrect. Individuals with a planning cognitive style prefer jobs where information-gathering predominates. Individuals with a creating cognitive style tend to choose careers where personal interactions predominate.
D) Incorrect. Individuals with a creating cognitive style tend to choose careers where personal interactions predominate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Individuals with high tolerance for ambiguity tend to be better transmitters of information.
B) Incorrect. Individuals with high tolerance for ambiguity tend to be better able to interpret cues.
C) Correct. Behavior adaptation often depends on one's ability to deal with ambiguous, incomplete, and unstructured situations. By definition, an individual with a low tolerance for ambiguity will have more difficulty in such a situation.
D) Incorrect. A low tolerance for ambiguity does not mean that an individual is less intelligent or that he is unable to understand abstract ideas, but rather that the individual may have a more difficult time doing so.
