Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Initially, Allport proposed two types of traits: individual and common. Individual traits are unique to a person and define his or her character. Common traits are shared by a number of people, such as the members of a culture. Allport later realized that some confusion could result from calling both of these phenomena traits, and so he revised his terminology. He relabeled common traits as traits and individual traits as personal dispositions and common traits as traits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: According to Allport, traits are interrelated; they may overlap, even though they
represent different characteristics. For example, aggressiveness and hostility are distinct but related traits and are frequently observed to occur together in a person's behavior.
