Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The traits of curiosity, originality, and literal-mindedness are all associated with intellectual openness, which is a factor of personality that relates to a person's openness to new ideas, experiences, and knowledge. Dullness, on the other hand, is associated with a lack of intellectual openness. None of these traits are particularly related to adjustment or agreeableness, which are other factors of personality. Conscientiousness may be related to some of these traits (e.g. a curious person is likely to be organized and diligent in pursuing their interests), but it is not the most directly related factor. Therefore, C (intellectual openness) is the most appropriate answer.
