All of the following describe an individual who has a high need for achievement except ___________.

A.
generally being future-oriented
B.
often delaying gratification in pursuit of goals
C.
generally handling negative feedback poorly
D.
often pursuing competitive entrepreneurial careers

Answer 1

C

People high in need for achievement are future-oriented, willing to delay gratification to reach goals, and often choose competitive/entrepreneurial careers. They typically handle negative feedback constructively (seeking informative feedback), so "handling negative feedback poorly" does not describe them.
