Final Answer : D, Explanation :  A person's score on a measure of the Big Five personality dimensions indicates how that person compares to a norm sample on each of the five traits. It does not indicate which specific trait applies to the person or whether they have a socially acceptable personality. Additionally, a person's score on the Big Five does not necessarily indicate whether they are introverted or extraverted, as this is only one aspect of personality covered by the extraversion dimension.
