Answer to Question 2

HIGH IN RESPONSIBILITY: The power motive is reflected in the conscientious pursuit of prestige in which power is exercised in socially acceptable ways.
LOW IN RESPONSIBILITY: The need for power can lead instead to less acceptable ways of influencing others, including impulsive aggressiveness, sexual exploitation, and alcohol/drug use (what Winter described as profligate, impulsive power).
