(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Neurotics, who experience conflict between incompatible modes of behavior, have personalities characterized by disunity and disharmony. They construct an idealized self-image for the same purpose as normal people do: to unify the personality. But their attempt is doomed to failure because their self-image is not based on a realistic appraisal of their strengths and weaknesses.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: According to Horney, a person exhibiting a neurotic trend of moving against other people is most likely to have a neurotic need for power, exploitation, prestige, admiration, and achievement.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: T
FEEDBACK: From her work with patients, Horney concluded that the needs could be presented in three groups, each indicating a person's attitudes toward the self and others. She called these three categories of directional movement the neurotic trends.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Horney noted that we all manifest 10 neurotic needs to some degree. None of the needs is abnormal or neurotic in an everyday, transient sense.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Neurotic needs are 10 irrational defenses against anxiety that become a permanent part of personality and that affect behavior. Parentchild relationships will either satisfy or frustrate the child's need for safety. If that need is frustrated, the outcome is neurotic behavior.

(Answer to Q. 6)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Horney listed 10 such needs, which she termed neurotic needs because they are irrational solutions to one's problems. Horney believed that any of the self-protective mechanisms could become so permanent a part of the personality that it assumes the characteristics of a drive or need in determining the individual's behavior.
