2. Creativity = ability to produce or make something original.
3. Personality = our physical, mental, and emotional state of being.
4. Adaptability = capacity to handle change.

Type 1 (Presentation Punishment)= Action taken to suppress behavior by giving unwanted consequence.

Type 2 (Removal Punishment) = Actions taken to reduce behavior by removing pleasurable occurrences.
