Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Above average intelligence and perfectionism may lead to setting high expectations for oneself and feeling obligated to constantly achieve those expectations, which can contribute to burnout. Idealism could also add to this pressure, as the person may feel a strong sense of purpose and responsibility to make a difference in their work. The other answer choices do not necessarily have personality traits that consistently lead to burnout.
