Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Despite the problems involved in self-report inventories, these still remain the most objective approach to personality assessment. Their greatest advantage is that they are designed to be scored objectively and quickly through automated personality assessment programs, providing a complete diagnostic profile of the test-taker's responses.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Although there are self-report inventories to assess many facets of personality, the tests are not always appropriate for people whose level of intelligence is below normal, or for those with limited reading skills. Even minor changes in the wording of the questions or the response alternatives on self-report measures can lead to major changes in the results.
