Ethics Integrity and Aptitude Mixed Practice — MCQs with Answers (Set 10)

The correct answer is consistency across family, school, and community environments reinforcing the same values. Research cited in the article finds this matters more than any one source acting alone.

Reform proposals include stricter campaign-finance transparency, faster prosecution of corruption cases, and protection for whistleblowers exposing this nexus.

This nexus can operate at local, state, or national levels, often intensifying around lucrative sectors like land, mining, and construction.

In this pattern, criminals may fund political campaigns, politicians protect criminal activity from prosecution, and officials look the other way in exchange for favours.

Perceived behavioural control matters because intention alone doesn’t guarantee action if a person feels unable to actually carry out the behaviour.

The correct answer is the law is valid and relates to Entry 17 of the Concurrent List. That entry covers prevention of cruelty to animals. The bench said the law is not colourable legislation. It also said the law cannot be tied to Article 48. It declined to bring bulls within Article 21.

The answer is Applied ethics. It takes ethical principles to practical problems such as business, environment and health care. Why the others fail: Meta-ethics asks what moral words mean. Normative ethics sets the standards. Comparative ethics is not one of the three branches. Memory hook: applied means used on real cases.

The answer is Meta-ethics. It asks what moral thought, talk and practice rest on, such as what ‘good’ and ‘right’ mean and whether moral standards are relative. Why the others fail: Normative ethics sets standards of conduct. Applied ethics uses ethics on real problems. Descriptive ethics only records what people believe. Memory hook: meta means ‘about’: ethics about ethics.

The answer is IQ (cognitive intelligence). Goleman treats IQ as an entry-level requirement and EI as the added people skill. Mayer and Salovey argued that EI is an intelligence apart from IQ. Why the others fail: physical fitness, formal qualifications and years of service are not what EI is compared with. Memory hook: IQ is the engine, EI is the steering.

The answer is Peter Salovey and John Mayer. Their paper, Emotional Intelligence, is dated 1990. It came five years before Goleman’s book. Why the others fail: Gardner and Sternberg, Lewin and Rogers, and Skinner and Bandura did not write that paper. Memory hook: 1990 paper, 1995 book.

The answer is Empathy. Goleman defines it as the ability to understand the emotional makeup of other people. Why the others fail: Self-awareness and self-regulation are about your own emotions. Motivation is about drive. Memory hook: empathy means understanding others.

The answer is Self-regulation. Goleman defines it as the ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods. Why the others fail: Empathy is about understanding others. Social skills is about managing relationships. Motivation is about pursuing goals with energy. Memory hook: regulate means pause before you act.

The answer is Daniel Goleman. He was a science journalist, and his 1995 book Emotional Intelligence became a best-seller. Why the others fail: Howard Gardner wrote about multiple intelligences. Maslow and Rogers are known for other ideas in psychology. Memory hook: Goleman made it popular, Salovey and Mayer made it academic.
