Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Allport argued that projective techniques, such as the Thematic Apperception Test and the Rorschach inkblot test, may present a distorted picture of the normal personality because they deal with unconscious forces that have little effect on the normal adult personality. He suggested that more reliable information could be obtained by simply asking people to describe themselves, a method that reveals their dominant traits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Allport and two colleagues developed an objective self-report assessment test called the Study of Values (Allport, Vernon, & Lindzey, 1960). They proposed that our personal values are the basis of our unifying philosophy of life, which is one of the six criteria for a mature, healthy personality.
