Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: After more than two decades of intensive factor-analytic research, Cattell (1965) identified 16 source traits as the basic factors of personality. These factors are best known in the form in which they are most often used, in an objective personality test called the Sixteen Personality Factor (16 PF) Questionnaire.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Source traits are classified by their origin as either constitutional traits or environmental-mold traits. Constitutional traits originate in biological conditions but are not necessarily innate. Environmental-mold traits derive from influences in our social and physical environments.
