Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: In Allport's view, the healthy personality changes and grows from being a biologically dominated organism in infancy to a mature psychological organism in adulthood. Our motivations become separated from childhood and are oriented toward the future.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Before the proprium begins to emerge, the infant experiences no self-consciousness, no awareness of self. There is not yet a separation of me from everything else. Infants receive sensory impressions from the external environment and react to them automatically and reflexively, with no ego to mediate between stimulus and response.
