relevancy and accuracy, we ask whether the content
matches what we've learned in the courseroom or have
experienced in our professions. One of the sources you've
found says: Women consistently rated themselves as being
warmer, friendlier and more anxious and sensitive to their
feelings than did the men. The men, meanwhile, consistently
rated themselves as being more assertive and open to new
ideas. In the jargon of personality psychology, the women
had scored higher on average on Agreeableness and
Neuroticism and on one facet of Openness to Experience,
while the men scored higher on one facet of Extraversion
and a different facet of Openness to Experience.
