Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: A major area of disagreement between Freud and Jung concerned the direction of the forces that influence personality. Freud viewed human beings as prisoners or victims of past events, Jung believed that people are shaped by their future as well as their past.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Jung made several important and lasting contributions to psychology. The word-association test became a standard projective technique and inspired the development of the Rorschach inkblot test and the so-called lie-detection techniques. The concepts of psychological complexes and of introverted versus extraverted personalities are widely accepted in psychology today.
