    What hormone is responsible for aggressiveness and sexuality ?

    • Calcitonin

    • Albumin

    • Progesterone

    • Testosterone

    Correct Answer
    A. Testosterone
    Explanation
    Testosterone is a hormone that is responsible for aggressiveness and sexuality. It is primarily produced in the testes in males and in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands in females. Testosterone plays a crucial role in the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics, such as increased muscle mass, deepening of the voice, and growth of facial and body hair. It also influences sexual desire and aggression levels in both males and females. Therefore, testosterone is the hormone responsible for these traits.

    Which of these is not related personality psychology? - ProProfs

    Which of these is not related personality psychology?

    • Rorschach Inkblot test

    • Hierarchy of needs

    • Big Five Inventory

    • Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

    Correct Answer
    A. Hierarchy of needs
    Explanation
    The Rorschach Inkblot test, Big Five Inventory, and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory are all related to personality psychology as they are commonly used tools and assessments in the field. However, the Hierarchy of needs is not directly related to personality psychology. It is a theory proposed by Abraham Maslow that focuses on the different levels of human needs and motivations. While it may have some implications for understanding individual differences in personality, it is not a specific tool or assessment used in personality psychology research or practice.

    What part of the brain is responsible for personality traits?

    • Thalamus

    • Brainstem

    • Hypothalamus

    • Brain cortex

    Correct Answer
    A. Brain cortex
    Explanation
    The brain cortex is responsible for personality traits. It is the outer layer of the brain and plays a crucial role in higher cognitive functions, including personality development and expression. The cortex contains various regions that are involved in different aspects of personality, such as the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and social behavior. Damage or abnormalities in the brain cortex can lead to changes in personality, highlighting its importance in shaping individual traits.

    Which of these is not a kind of attachment?

    • Secure

    • Unsatisfied

    • Avoidant

    • Ambivalent

    Correct Answer
    A. Unsatisfied
    Explanation
    The question asks for a kind of attachment that is not included in the options. The options given are "Secure," "Unsatisfied," "Avoidant," and "Ambivalent." Out of these options, "Unsatisfied" is the only one that does not represent a kind of attachment. This is because attachment styles typically refer to patterns of behavior and emotions in relationships, such as secure, avoidant, and ambivalent, but "unsatisfied" does not fit into any established attachment category.

    • Three factors

    • Four factors

    • Two factors

    • Five factors

    Correct Answer
    A. Five factors
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Five factors. Personality is influenced by various factors, including genetics, environment, culture, upbringing, and personal experiences. These five factors play a significant role in shaping an individual's personality. Genetics determine certain traits and predispositions, while the environment, culture, and upbringing provide the context in which personality develops. Personal experiences also contribute to personality development, as they shape beliefs, values, and behaviors. Therefore, these five factors collectively govern an individual's personality.

    Correct Answer
    A. Curios aim
    Explanation
    The given options are all related to different kinds of temperaments, except for "Curios aim". This is likely a typographical error, as "Curios aim" does not make sense in the context of temperament. The correct term is likely "Curiosity" or "Curiousness", which can be considered as a kind of temperament.
