Exam 3: The Big Five Personality Traits

C) People should recognize that any given trait adjective represents a more fundamental personality dimension, so they aren't really rating the adjective but instead thinking more deeply about themselves.
D) Each respondent should show a unique pattern of self-ratings when considering a collection of trait adjectives.
