None of Keith's friends would call him "tidy." He leaves his stuff around, but the mess doesn't seem to bother him. He also dislikes routines, and even when he is facing a deadline, he finds it difficult to get down to work and is easily distracted. Given this pattern, if Keith took the BFAS, he would likely ___________________.

Question

The question describes Keith as someone who is not tidy, leaves his stuff around, dislikes routines, has trouble starting tasks even when deadlines loom, and is easily distracted. These descriptors map onto personality traits in the Big Five framework, specifically Conscientiousness, which encompasses organization, reliability, self-discipline, and goal-directed behavior.
Option 1: high on Neuroticism. While it’s possible that disorganization could relate to emotional factors, the stem emphasizes forgetfulness, routine aversion, and procrastination more than emotional instability. Neuroticism centers on susceptibility to anxiety, moodiness, and emotional volatility, which are not the primary pattern given here.
Option 2: low on Conscientiousness. This aligns directly with the behaviors described: poor organization, lack of routine, procrastination, and distractibility indicate low levels of conscientiousness, which involves diligence, orderliness, and dependability.
Option 3: high on Agreeableness. Agreeableness concerns how cooperative, sympathetic, and accommodating a person is. The vignette doesn’t mention interpersonal tendencies or quality of relationships; it focuses on personal organizational and work-habit patterns, making high Agreeableness an unsupported inference.
Option 4: low on Extraversion. Extraversion relates to sociability, assertiveness, and enthusiasm in social contexts. The passage doesn’t describe Keith’s sociability or energy in interactions, so concluding low Extraversion would be speculative and not grounded in the provided behavioral pattern.
In summary, the strongest fit to the described behavioral pattern—disorganization, avoidance of routines, procrastination, and distractibility—is low Conscientiousness, while the other trait domains either aren’t reflected in the description or would require additional information beyond what is given.
