1.   b   Rationale:  This is the definition of personality given in the text. (Page 515,
Factual)

2.   a   Rationale:  According to Freud, the id is present at birth.  It contains a reservoir
of energy, the libido, and tries to satisfy the basic innate aggressive and sexual
drives of an individual. (Page 517, Factual)

3.   a   Rationale:  This is an example of displacement.  Mark is directing his anger
against someone other than the real object of his anger, the teacher. (Page 518,
Applied)

4.   b   Rationale:  The oral stage occurs during the first year of life. (Page 518,
Factual)

5.   a   Rationale:  Allport is a trait theorist.  He argued that everyone has a small
number of central traits and a larger number of secondary traits. (Page 524,
Factual)

6.   d   Rationale:  Cattell used factor analysis to reduce thousands of descriptions of
personality to 16 personality factors. (Page 524, Factual)

7.   c   Rationale:  This is a definition of temperament, a tendency to be highly reactive
to the environment or very nonreactive. (Page 529, Factual)

8.   a   Rationale:  Humanist theories emphasized positive characteristics of people
such as striving for self-actualization and free will. (Pages 543-544, Conceptual)

9.   c   Rationale:  Rogers thought that unconditional positive regard was necessary for
healthy development of an individual. (Pages 543-544, Factual)

10.   c   Rationale:  Parenting style has little to do with shaping a child’s personality.
(Page 533, Conceptual)
