Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These traits (ambitious, intellectual, responsible) are considered competence aspects of instrumental values, as they describe ways of behaving (means) rather than end states of existence (goals). Terminal values refer to desirable end-states of existence, while instrumental values refer to modes of conduct that lead to these end-states. Competence aspects specifically relate to the ability or qualities necessary to achieve desired goals, making option C the correct answer.
