Adam has always been more active than other children. As a toddler, he climbed before he could walk. His mother never felt like she could keep up with him. Which aspect of temperament does this describe?
  1. Activity
  2. Emotionality
  3. Sociability
  4. Impulsivity
Explanation
Answer: A - The activity dimension of temperament refers to how active an individual is. Some people, like Adam, are naturally very active. Other people are more content to stay still. Although activity levels can change with maturation, they are generally consistent throughout the lifespan. As an adult, Adam may not be climbing on furniture, but he may be more prone than his peers to hike or mountain bike.
