Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

S-data (Self-report data) is a type of personality assessment where individuals provide information about themselves. It will agree more with O-data (Observer-report data) when the trait being assessed requires few inferences. When the trait is easily observable, it is easier for both the person assessing themselves and the observer to agree on the trait. However, if the trait is unconscious or not easily observable, it can lead to discrepancies between S-data and O-data. If T-data (Test-data) is not available, it does not affect the agreement between S-data and O-data.
