Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Cattell felt highly competitive with an older brother and wrote of the problems of maintaining his own freedom of development while confronted with this brother who could not be overcome. His parents had high, exacting standards of behavior for their children but were also permissive about how the children spent their spare time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Cattell referred to these factors as traits, which he defined as the mental elements of the personality. Only when we know someone's traits can we predict how that person will behave in a given situation.
