Question

In Gray’s theory of reinforcement sensitivity

Another part of this model has to do with one’s behaviour being inhibited. Specifically, people whose Behavioural Inhibition System (BIS) is highly sensitive tend to worry more and take the safer approach to things. People with a low BIS are more likely to be risk-takers and to act more impulsively. Behavioural inhibition has been linked to Neuroticism in the trait model of personality.

Do the trait facets listed within Neuroticism seem to fit well with the characteristics of someone who displays high behavioural inhibition (that is, someone who is very cautious)? Why or why not?

Looking at the other side of the equation, what personality traits seem like they would describe someone who is low in behavioural inhibition?
