Directions (Q. Nos. 7-9) You have one brief passage with two questions following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives. Some people believe that they are masters of their own fate. Other people see themselves as pawns of fats, believing that what happens to them in their lives is due to luck or chance. The first type, those who believe that they control their destinies, have been labelled internals, whereas the latter, who see their lives as being controlled by outside forces, have been called externals. Internals search more actively for information before making a decision, are more motivated to achieve, and make a greater attempt to control their environment. Externals, however, are more compliant and willing to follow directions. Therefore, internals do well on sophisticated tasks which include most, managerial and professional jobs that require complex information processing and learning. In addition, internals are more suited to jobs that require initiative and independence of action. Almost all successful sales people, for instance are internals. In contrast, externals should do well on jobs that are well structured and routine and in which success depends heavily on complying with the directions of others.
7. Which one of the following is not correct?

(a) Internals have more confidence
 in their ability
(b) Internals are moreenterprising
(c) Internals go in for routine jobs
(d) Internals are more inquisitive

8. Which one of these is correct?

(a) Internals seek jobs which call for
 more initiative
(b) Internals seek jobs which are
 full of fun and enjoyment
(c) Internals believe in receiving guidance and direction from superiors only
(d) Internals believe in destiny

 volumes
