A psychologist wants to measure a person’s level of extraversion. What kind of test would be the most appropriate?

  1. Cognitive functioning test

  2. Personality inventory

  3. Achievement test

  4. Intelligence test

The correct answer is: Personality inventory

A personality inventory would be the most appropriate test for measuring a person's level of extraversion. Personality inventories are specifically designed to assess traits, characteristics and behaviors that make up an individual's personality. On the other hand, cognitive functioning tests measure the mental processes and abilities that contribute to cognitive function, such as memory and problem-solving. Achievement tests measure a person's knowledge or proficiency in a particular area, and intelligence tests assess overall intellect and cognitive abilities. While these tests may provide some insight into an individual's personality, they are not specifically designed for measuring extraversion.
