Answer 1

Answer:

Dave's attire strategy likely indicates he is a high self-monitor.

Explanation:

High self-monitors are people who respond to social clues by adjusting themselves to those clues. That is, they present themselves differently in accordance to each individual situation. That includes not only their appearance, but also their behavior. It is common for high self-monitors to hold jobs that involve dealing with an audience or a large group of people - acting, diplomacy, and public relations, among others. Dave shows concern by how his appearance fits in with the situation. He is capable of adapting, adjusting, in a way that shows he is likely a high self-monitor.
