90 Assessing Personality: Psychological Tests Which perspective focuses primarily on describing personality rather than explaining it?Trait theorists are more concerned with describing personality and predicting behavior than with the explanation of personality development. Since there are myriad traits and words to describe them, it can be challenging for psychologists to describe people's personalities briefly and consistently.
Which approach to personality suggests that people can change through self motivated effort?Self-determination theory states that people are motivated to grow and change by three innate (and universal) psychological needs. The concept of intrinsic motivation, or engaging in activities for the inherent reward of the behavior itself, plays an important role in this theory.
Which theoretical orientation explains personality through personal growth and self understanding?Humanistic Personality Theory Definition
Humanistic personality theory highlights the importance of self-growth to develop healthy personality traits. The researchers developed the test to understand the differences in personalities.
Which is not one of the traits psychologists use when describing personality?The correct answer is b.
Intelligence is not a trait in the five-factor model, but neuroticism, extroversion, and agreeableness are traits includes. It also includes openness and conscientiousness.
