Question

According to studies of achievement and locus of control, someone who has a higher external locus in college is likely to have:______

A. better grades than internals in college.
B. received lower scores on achievement tests in high school.
C. performed better on academic tests in elementary school than high school.
D. all of these are correct.

Answer 1

The answer is B. An external locus of control is when you believe the things that happen to you are outside of your control (fate, destiny, luck, etc). So you're likely to think you can't change your own circumstances and are less likely to study or try with this mindset.
