ANSWER:
A)WHY THE CONCLUSION IS CORRECT:
- It would be a person's intrinsic trait to behave or respond to
a situation in a particular way
- The person could be low in adaptability and thus has the same
behavioral responses across situation.
- The person is true to his character and is not dishonest with
himself/herself.
- Example: A person's intrinsic trait is to be honest or
punctual, so he would choose this behaviour in every situation even
if it demands him to be a bit diplomatic. He would be punctual or
an early bird to a party which doesn't really require
punctuality.
- Thus these instaces show that a person's specific behaviour is
consistent across all situations.
B)WHY THE CONCLUSION IS FALSE:
- It is where the person is highly adaptive to his surroundings
and knows how to aptly use his/her resources according to the
situation present.
- The person is not true to his/her intrinsic traits and allows
himself to mould according to the situation.
- For example: A person's intrinsic trait is to be honest but yet
when a situation arises that needs him to be diplomatic he can
easily mould it and be dishonest for that moment and doesn't feel
guilty about it because he knows that the situation demanded for
him to be so. Or if a person has a high emotional quotient he would
know how to behave under stressful conditions and how to use his
emotions aptly, thus would adapt to his situations easily
- Hence, in such instances the above conclusion is untrue.
