Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Jung disagreed with Freud on the importance of childhood experiences. Jung thought they were influential but did not completely shape our personality by age 5. We are affected more by our experiences in middle age and by our hopes and expectations for the future.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: At middle age the unconscious forces must be assimilated and balanced with the conscious. At this time of life, no single aspect of personality should dominate.
