Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: The least influential individual traits are the secondary traits, which appear much less
consistently than cardinal and central traits. Secondary traits may be so inconspicuous or weak that only a close friend would notice evidence of them. They may include, for example, a minor preference for a particular type of music or for a certain food.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Everyone has a few central traits, some 5 to 10 themes that best describe our behavior. Allport's examples are aggressiveness, self-pity, and cynicism.
