Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Allport's most famous case is an analysis of a collection of more than 300 letters written over a 12-year period by a middle-aged woman identified as Jenny. One of Allport's students performed a computer analysis on the letters to find categories of words that might indicate the existence of a particular trait. The computer analysis yielded eight prominent traits in Jenny's personality that were similar to the categories Allport had identified.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Allport relied heavily on the personal-document technique and the Study of Values. The personal-document technique involves examining diaries, autobiographies, letters, literary compositions, and other samples of a person's written or spoken records to determine the number and kinds of personality traits.
