Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Like scientists, all of us construct theories, which Kelly called personal constructs, by which we try to predict and control the events in our lives. He proposed that the way to understand someone's personality is to examine his or her personal constructs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The personality theory Kelly offered derived from his experience as a clinician. For several reasons, he interpreted his clinical experience differently from Freud and other theorists who treated patients.
