Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In the field of personality theory, virtually all the patients and subjects the earlier theories were based on were White. Also, the majority of the patients and subjects were men. Yet, the personality theorists confidently offered theories that were supposed to be valid for all people, regardless of gender, race, or ethnic origin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Studies found that those who were more neurotic and less conscientious and shy spent more time texting on their phones than those who were less neurotic and more conscientious. Research involving teenagers and adults in Australia found that extraverts and those with a strong sense of self-identity spent much more time making calls and changing their ring tones and wallpaper than those scoring lower on these personality characteristics.
