Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malinda's behavior of always being late for any meeting indicates low distinctiveness, as it is a consistent behavior across different situations. This behavior cannot be attributed to situational factors, such as traffic or emergencies, but seems to be a trait of her personality. There is no indication of high or low consensus as we do not know if other people in similar situations behave in the same manner as Malinda.
