Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antisocial personality traits have been linked to a higher risk-taking behavior, impulsivity, and aggressiveness, which may provide an advantage in certain competitive and/or violent situations. Therefore, individuals like Art, who have a background in the military and have been recognized for their combat skills, may exemplify a survival advantage related to this disorder. The other choices (Gwen, Lance, and Elaine) do not necessarily involve the same level of risk-taking or aggression that could lead to a survival advantage.
