Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A proactive personality is characterized by the ability to identify opportunities and take initiative to take action. This trait is aligned with the requirements for the position that Pauline has an opening for. A narcissistic personality may not necessarily be a good fit as they tend to have a lack of empathy and may prioritize their own interests over the interests of the company. A low Mach score (a measure of Machiavellianism, a personality trait characterized by manipulation and self-interest) may also not be a good fit as it may indicate a lack of concern for the organization's goals and values. Type B personality traits may not necessarily be indicative of strong initiative-taking abilities.
