Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: According to Kelly, each person creates a set of cognitive constructs about the environment. That is, we interpret and organize the events and social relationships of our lives in a system or pattern. On the basis of this pattern, we make predictions about ourselves and about other people and events, and we use these predictions to formulate our responses and guide our actions. Therefore, in order to understand personality, we must first understand our patterns, the ways we organize or construct our world.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: According to Kelly, our interpretation of events is more important than the events themselves. Therefore, in order to understand personality, we must first understand our patterns, the ways we organize or construct our world.
