What conclusion can be drawn from the data regarding the humility scores of the managers?

• A. Humility was highest in the control group.
• B. All groups had similar humility scores.
• C. The mistake-with-learning group showed more humility than the others.
• D. Humility decreased over time for all participants.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is interpreting how different groups compare on a measured trait. The data show that the group exposed to making mistakes and learning from them has higher humility scores than the other groups. This pattern suggests that actively reflecting on errors and incorporating that learning promotes humility—managers become more aware of their limits and more open to others’ input.

If humility were highest in the control group, or if all groups had similar scores, or if humility declined over time for everyone, those patterns would not match the observed outlier where the mistake-with-learning group stands out with higher humility.
