Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Introverts shy away from excitement and stimulation because their cortical arousal levels are already high. As a result, introverts react more strongly than extraverts to sensory stimulation. Studies have shown that introverts exhibit greater sensitivity to low-level stimuli and have lower pain thresholds than extraverts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: The result of the efforts of Eysenck and his wife is a personality theory based on three dimensions, defined as combinations of traits or factors. The three personality dimensions are:
EExtraversion versus introversion
NNeuroticism versus emotional stability
PPsychoticism versus impulse control (or superego functioning).
