Irresponsibility and carelessness describe the blank factor of the five-factor theory?

a) Neuroticism
b) Negligent
C) Extroversion
d) Openness to experience
e) Conscientiousness

I think the answer is e about 70% sure

The answer is A, because Neuroticism is emotional instability, which would account for irresponcible or careless behavior and thusly associated with negative behavior.

Mike's probably right. But I've found slightly different lists for the five-factory theory. Why isn't another possible answer "negligent," although that is not listed in this site.

I would have chosen "negligent," too, based on its meaning and the obvious connection to "irresponsibility and carelessness."

"Conscientiousness" is the opposite.

To determine the correct answer, we can refer to the five-factor theory, also known as the Big Five personality traits. The five factors are openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.

Among these factors, the one that aligns with the words "irresponsibility" and "carelessness" is conscientiousness. Conscientiousness refers to being responsible, organized, and mindful of details.

So, in this case, the correct answer is e) Conscientiousness.
