Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: The T-data technique involves the use of what Cattell called objective tests, in which a person responds without knowing what aspect of behavior is being evaluated. These tests circumvent the Q-data's shortcomings by making it difficult for a subject to know precisely what a test is measuring.
