Natalie is a college psychology professor. She created an assignment where each of her students took the NEO-PI-R inventory and then wrote an essay about each of their trait scores. Unfortunately, after all of the students had taken the test, Natalie realized that the version she had assigned did not include questions pertaining to openness. To correct this error, she told students to determine their level of openness based on their extroversion score. Specifically, she told them that if they were high on extroversion that meant they were also high on openness. Is Natalie's suggestion a correct interpretation of the Big Five theory of personality?
A. Yes, a response pattern that consistently emerges is that scores on openness are highly correlated with scores on extroversion. B. Yes, there are only ten different Big Five response patterns and in every pattern where openness is high, extroversion is also high. C. No, the Big Five traits represent distinct, non-overlapping core traits, so scores on one do not necessarily predict scores on another. D. No, it would be more accurate for the students to determine their openness scores based on the scores they obtained for neuroticism.
