Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who score high on measures of extraversion and neuroticism are more likely to experience divorce. Sensation-seeking and openness to experience may also play a role, but are not as strongly linked to divorce as extraversion and neuroticism. Agreeableness, on the other hand, is negatively correlated with divorce, so it is unlikely that Jennifer and Megan have high scores on this trait.
