Personality psychologists often rely on rating scales, such as a 4-point rating scale (1=strongly agree, 2=agree, 3=disagree, 4=strongly disagree), to assess personality traits. The challenge is that a personality trait is conceptualized as a continuous variable but the measures use ordinal rating scales. Assume that you'd like to study the personality trait Openness in the general adult population and that this trait will be measured by asking people to rate themselves on the 6 adjectives below. Assuming that people will respond to the survey using the 4-point response scale above, describe how you'd use their responses to measure Openness, and include in your answer any advantages to your strategy. • Accepting • Broad-minded • Daring • Insightful • Receptive • Tolerant
