Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Detached personalities have an almost desperate desire for privacy. They suppress or deny all feelings toward other people, particularly feelings of love and hate. If they are to function as detached personalities, they must rely on their own resources, which must be well developed.

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: People with an aggressive personality type drive themselves hard to become the best. As a result, they may actually become highly successful in their careers, although the work itself will not provide intrinsic satisfaction.
