All of the following describe an individual who has a high need for achievement except ___________.

Answer
A
generally being future-oriented
B
often delaying gratification in pursuit of goals
C
generally handling negative feedback poorly
D
often pursuing competitive entrepreneurial careers

Explanation

People with a high need for achievement tend to set goals, look toward future outcomes, and delay immediate rewards to accomplish those goals. They may also be drawn to competitive careers, including entrepreneurship. They generally respond constructively to feedback rather than handling negative feedback poorly, so that statement is the exception.
