D. Class IV (intellectual and interest modes)

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Class II (maturity, responsibility, self-control, and personal values)

Explanation:

In the framework of Hargrave and Hiatt study conducted in 1989, 45 police officers have experienced such job-related issues as using unnecessary force and illegal drugs, have scored higher differently only on the Class II profile of the California Psychological Inventory Moderate (CPI). This scale measures for maturity, responsibility, self-control, and personal values.

The individuals who score higher on this profile are more careful and have a strong sense of duty. At the same time, those who score low on this scale, are more likely to take a risk and be careless.
