Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Kelly found self-characterization sketch useful for learning how clients perceive themselves in relation to other people. Kelly's instructions to his clients were as follows. I want you to write a character sketch of client's name just as if he were the principal character in a play. Write it as it might be written by a friend who knew him very intimately and very sympathetically, perhaps better than anyone ever really could know him.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Kelly recognized that a person might deliberately lie or distort the reported version of events. However, what the client said must be respected, even if not always fully believed.
