Final Answer :

A person high in achievement motivation typically has a tendency to delay immediate gratification in favor of long-term rewards. Seeking immediate gratification is more characteristic of someone low in achievement motivation. Therefore, choice B is the one that is NOT expected from a person high in achievement motivation.
