Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jim's tendency to act according to his internal inclinations and lack of attunement to social context suggests low self-monitoring. Self-handicapping, on the other hand, refers to a tendency to create obstacles or excuses for oneself in order to protect one's self-esteem, which is not necessarily related to Jim's behavior.
