Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: According to Allport, personality is so complex that to evaluate it we must employ many techniques. Allport relied heavily on the personal-document technique and the Study of Values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: To Allport, the ultimate and necessary goal of life is not to reduce tension, as Freud proposed, but rather to increase tension, impelling us to continually seek new sensations and challenges. The reward is the process of achieving rather than the specific achievement, striving for the goal rather than reaching it. In essence, he meant that getting there is more fun than being there.
