Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Different psychological types may be drawn to different professions (Hanewitz, 1978).
The MBTI was given to a large sample of police officers, schoolteachers, and social work and dental school students. Police officers and dental school students, who deal with people in different ways from teachers and social workers, scored high in extraversion and in sensing and thinking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Jung, like Freud, used the case study method, which Jung called life-history reconstruction. It involved an extensive recollection of a persons past experiences in which Jung sought to identify the developmental patterns he believed led to the present neurotic condition.
