Answer:

The answer to this question is false. Personality traits can be exhibited differently depending on the political, social, and cultural contexts.

Explanation:

While it is true that personality traits imply some consistency, where someone who is considered to be extroverted is expected to be outgoing across many different situations, there is some influence in terms of the environment and context and especially the cultural upbringing of the person and what kind of behaviors are sanctioned in certain contexts in different societies. For example, in some cultures, women are not allowed or expected to participate in public life the same way as men and extroverted behavior is discouraged. It would, therefore, be inaccurate to say that personality traits are exhibited always in the same way across different contexts. It is common to classify personality traits based on the Five-Factor Model. There are five broad traits in this framework: Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism.
