True

False

Answer 1

Answer 4: Given options are evaluated as follows :

1. Conscientious - It refers to being careful. A part of the control process but not necessarily performance or achievement-driven action. So, this option is rejected.
2. Optimistic - Being positive and hopeful about good things to happen. This is not self -regulation and hence, this option is rejected.
3. Self-Confident- Being confident about the actions being taken. But it does not take into account the monitoring of actions being taken. So, this option is rejected.
4. Initiative - Taking new actions that may or may not be based on results to be achieved. So, this option is rejected.
5. Achievement Driven - Performing and taking decisions based on results already achieved or to be achieved. This option is the correct answer

Conclusion: A self-regulator is always “Achievement Driven”. Option E is correct.
