A celebrity has fired several of her personal assistants because each time she asks them a question about her appearance or how her performance was, they always tell her how great and wonderful she is. She is looking for a more honest personal assistant. What should be a quality she looks for in her next employee?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The celebrity is specifically looking for a more honest personal assistant, and an employee who is low on self-monitoring would be more likely to give honest feedback rather than trying to please the celebrity by always giving positive responses. A high level of agreeableness may result in the same behavior as the previous assistants, and openness to experience and neuroticism are not directly related to giving honest feedback in this scenario.
