Question 6 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Which explanation describes a difference between intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape identity?

Answer
A
Intrinsic factors come from external sources like education and media, while extrinsic factors are naturally part of us.
B
Intrinsic factors are influenced by our social circles and economic status, while extrinsic factors are determined by our natural personality.
C
Intrinsic factors are primarily shaped by our experiences, while extrinsic factors are shaped by our genes and inherent traits.
D
Intrinsic factors are unchanging and come from within us, while extrinsic factors are external and can change over time.

Explanation

Intrinsic factors come from within a person, such as inherent traits, while extrinsic factors come from outside influences, such as social surroundings or experiences. External influences can change over time, so choice D best describes the difference. The other choices reverse or mix up the sources of intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
