Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: High sensation seekers were also less likely to establish social relationships at their place of employment or try to obtain information from co-workers or supervisors. The researchers suggested that such lower level jobs might not be sufficiently stimulating for high sensation seekers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Research has identified three types of risk takers: antisocial risk takers, adventurous risk takers, and pro-social risk takers. Those identified as antisocial (such as drug addicts and criminals) or as adventurous (mountain climbers and sky divers) showed significantly higher SSS scores than pro-social risk takers (police officers and firefighters).
