Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: The hallmark of Cattell's approach was his treatment of the data. He submitted them to the statistical procedure called factor analysis, which involves assessing the relationship between each possible pair of measurements taken from a group of subjects to determine common factors.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: According to Brody, Buss, and Stelmack, the theories of Cattell, Eysenck, McCrae and Costa, Ashton and Lee, and Paulhus and Williams, together with their supporting research, indicate that inheritance may account for as much as 50 percent of personality. However, we must not conclude prematurely that family and other environmental factors can be completely discounted as shapers of personality.
