Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: According to Allport, everyone has a few central traits, some 5 to 10 themes that best describe our behavior. Allport's examples are aggressiveness, self-pity, and cynicism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: A cardinal trait is so pervasive and influential that it touches almost every aspect of a person's life. Allport described it as a ruling passion, a powerful force that dominates behavior. Not everyone has a ruling passion, and those who do may not display it in every situation.
