Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: The self-report inventory or test approach involves asking people to report on themselves by answering questions about their behavior and feelings in various situations. These tests include items dealing with symptoms, attitudes, interests, fears, and values.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Validity refers to whether an assessment device measures what it is intended to measure. If a test does not measure what it claims to, then it is not valid and its results cannot be used to predict behavior.
