Verified step by step guidance

Understand the Big Five Model of personality, which includes five traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Neuroticism specifically refers to the tendency to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and irritability.

Analyze the options provided in the question. The goal is to identify which behavior or characteristic aligns most closely with high levels of neuroticism.

Option 1: 'Be highly reserved and quiet' is more closely associated with introversion, not neuroticism. Eliminate this option.

Option 2: 'Be highly conscientious of other's needs' is related to agreeableness or conscientiousness, not neuroticism. Eliminate this option.

Option 4: 'Be optimistic about life' is the opposite of what neuroticism entails, as neurotic individuals are more prone to negative emotions. Eliminate this option. The correct answer is Option 3: 'Experience frequent negative emotions,' as this is the defining characteristic of high neuroticism.
