McCrae and Costa's five personality factors:
a. are the first five factors identified by Cattell.
b. show that environment is more important than heredity.
c. largely overlap amongst themselves.
d. include sociability, impulsivity, and emotionality.
ANS: C
FEEDBACK: There is a similarity between the extraversion and neuroticism factors of McCrae and
Costa and the extraversion and neuroticism dimensions proposed by Eysenck. Further, agreeableness and conscientiousness in the McCrae Costa model may represent the low end of Eysenck’s psychoticism dimension (impulse control). Openness shows a high positive correlation with intelligence. Similarly, agreeableness correlates with Adler’s concept of social interest.
