Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: In attempting to realize an unattainable ideal, neurotics engage in what Horney called the tyranny of the shoulds. Their attempt is doomed to failure because their self-image is not based on a realistic appraisal of their strengths and weaknesses. Instead, it is based on an illusion, an unattainable ideal of absolute perfection. They can never achieve their unrealistic self-image and end up in a state of self-hatred with no ability to forgive themselves or others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: For normal people, the self-image is an idealized picture of oneself built on a flexible, realistic assessment of one's abilities. For neurotics, the self-image is based on an inflexible, unrealistic self-appraisal.
