Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Eysenck's dimensions of psychoticism, neuroticism, and extraversion, Cattell's sixteen source traits, and Buss and Plomin's three temperaments of emotionality, activity, and sociability illustrate the effect of genetic factors on the personality theories. There is increasingly strong evidence that many personality traits or dimensions are inherited.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Each of the theories discusses factors that are influential, to some degree, in shaping our personality. Each theorist has contributed vital pieces to the puzzle.
