Personality Traits and Brain Regions Quiz

Which brain region is associated with neuroticism?

• Fusiform gyrus

• Prefrontal-temporal regions

• Superior temporal cortex

• Pre-cuneus

A thicker cortex in the prefrontal regions is linked to which personality trait?

• Openness

• Agreeableness

• Conscientiousness

• Extraversion

Which personality trait is associated with a thinner prefrontal-parietal cortex?

• Conscientiousness

• Extraversion

• Openness

• Neuroticism

Extraversion is linked to a smaller:

• Prefrontal cortex

• Fusiform gyrus

• Superior temporal cortex

• Pre-cuneus

The fusiform gyrus is smaller in individuals with high:

• Agreeableness

• Openness

• Conscientiousness

• Extraversion

A thinner cortex in the prefrontal cortex is linked to which personality trait?

• Conscientiousness

• Agreeableness

• Extraversion

• Openness

Which brain region is associated with extraversion but not conscientiousness?

• Prefrontal cortex

• Fusiform gyrus

• Pre-cuneus

• Prefrontal-parietal cortex

Which trait is linked to both the prefrontal cortex and fusiform gyrus?

• Conscientiousness

• Openness

• Agreeableness

• Neuroticism

Which brain region shows greater thickness in individuals with high neuroticism?

• Prefrontal-parietal regions

• Prefrontal-temporal regions

• Pre-cuneus

• Superior temporal cortex

A thinner cortex in prefrontal-parietal regions is linked to:

• Conscientiousness

• Openness

• Extraversion

• Neuroticism
