Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Because the security of compliant personalities depends on the attitudes and behavior of other people toward them, they become excessively dependent, needing constant approval and reassurance. Any sign of rejection, whether actual or imagined, is terrifying to them, leading to increased efforts to regain the affection of the person they believe has rejected them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: The attitude of compliant people toward themselves is consistently one of helplessness and weakness. They are willing to assume blame and defer to others, never being assertive, critical, or demanding.
