Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zach's strong reaction to the colourful picture suggests that he is a reactive child, meaning he is easily stimulated and may have strong emotional reactions to certain stimuli. This is a common characteristic of reactive children. It is not possible to determine from this information whether Zach is introverted or extroverted, and nonreactive does not accurately describe his behavior.
