Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Adler had no desire to use psychological tests to assess personality. He argued that tests create artificial situations that provide ambiguous results. He did, however, support tests of memory and intelligence; it was tests of personality he criticized.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Adler did not believe that dreams fulfill wishes or reveal hidden conflicts. Rather, dreams involve our feelings about a current problem and what we intend to do about it.
