Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Intellectualization is a defense mechanism in which an uncomfortable or painful reality is evaded by using a rational explanation that removes personal significance from the event.
Rationale 2: Introjection is a form of identification in which the person adopts another person's norms or values, even if those norms or values are contrary to what the person would have previously assumed.
Rationale 3: Projection is blaming another person or the environment for one's own unacceptable thoughts, shortcomings, or failures.
Rationale 4: Minimization is not acknowledging the significance of a behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Compensation is covering up weaknesses by emphasizing strength or by overachievement.
Rationale 2: Denial is an attempt to ignore unacceptable realities by refusing to acknowledge them.
Rationale 3: Displacement is transferring emotional reactions from one object or person to another object or person.
Rationale 4: Identification is an attempt to manage anxiety by imitating the behavior of someone feared or respected.
