Question 1
• Dr. Li asks her clients to interpret ambiguous
pictures of people in various settings. The
method she is using is called
• A. The Rorschach test
• B. the MMPI
• C. the TAT
• D. factor analysis.
• E. the WISC
Answer 1
• C. TAT (thematic apperception test). The
Rorschach test asks people to look at inkblots,
not people. The MMPI is a personality
inventory and therefore simple involves
answering question about oneself. Factor
analysis is a statistical technique, not a
personality assessment. The WISC is an
intelligence test.
Question 2
• What kind of psychologist would be most
likely to use a projective personality
assessment?
• A. social cognitive
• B. trait
• C. behaviorist
• D. humanistic
• E. psychoanalytic
Answer 2
• E. A psychoanalyst would be most likely to use
a projective test since such measures
supposedly allow the person taking the test to
project his or her unconscious thoughts onto
the stimuli.
Question 3
• According to Freud, which part of the mind
acts as a person’s conscience?
• A. Eros
• B. ego
• C. libido
• D. superego
• E. id
Answer 3
• D. Freud described the superego as the part of
the mind that acts as a conscience. The other
two parts of the mind are the id and ego. The
id acts according to the pleasure principle,
while the ego acts as a buffer between the id
and the demands of the external world. Eros is
the life instinct, and the libido is the energy
that drives Eros.
Question 4
• One personality trait that is thought to be
highly heritable is
• A. generosity
• B. sense of humor
• C. neatness
• D. introversion
• E. diligence
Answer 4
• A lot of research suggest that shyness or
inhibition is inherited. Relatively little
evidence exists that suggests generosity, sense
of humor, neatness, or diligence is genetically
predisposed.
Question 5
• Jamal sucked his thumb until age eight. As an
adult, he smokes, chews gum, and thinks
constantly of food. Psychoanalysts would
describe Jamal as having a
• A. obsession
• B. orally controlled libido
• C. Oedipus complex
• D. oral fixation
• E. mother complex
Answer 5
• D. Psychoanalysts would say that Jamal has an
oral fixation. They would argue that some
traumatic event during the oral stage (birth to
one year) caused some of his libidinal energy
to become fixated in that stage. Orally
controlled libido is a made-up distractor,
Oedipus complex refers to boys’ supposed
sexual desires for their mothers, and mother
complex is a term that Jung might use.
Question 6
• Redirecting one’s unacceptable urges into
more socially acceptable pursuits best defines
which of the following defense mechanisms?
• A. intellectualization
• B. denial
• C. sublimation
• D. rationalization
• E. regression
Answer 6
• C. Sublimation is when one redirects
unacceptable urges in to a or socially
acceptable pursuit. An example would be
channeling your sexual frustration over your
attraction to your opposite-sex parent to
becoming a marathon runner.
Question 7
• Someone who has an external locus of control
is likely to have a
• A. positive self-concept
• B. high sense of self-efficacy
• C. strong libido
• D. belief in luck
• E. high IQ
Answer 7
• D. Rotter’s concept of locus of control has to
do with how much power one feels over his or
her life. Someone who has an external locus
control feels as is she or he cannot control
what happens. Externals often believe their
futures are in the hands of fate or luck.
Question 8
• The belief that personality is created by the
interaction between a person, his or her
behavior, and the environment is known as
• A. combination theory
• B. interactionist perspective.
• C. reciprocal determinism
• D. mutuality
• E. circular creation
Answer 8
• C. Reciprocal determinism, also known as
triadic reciprocality, is Bandura’s theory that
personality arises out of the interaction of a
person’s traits, environment, and behavior. All
of the remaining choices are made-up
distractions.
Question 9
• Juan has a huge crush on Sally, but he never
admits it. Instead, he tells all who will listen
that Sally is really “into him.” Psychoanalytic
would see Juan’s bragging as an example of
• A. displacement
• B. reaction formation
• C. sublimation
• D. denial
• E. projection
Answer 9
• E. Juan is projecting. Instead of acknowledging
the feelings he has toward Sally he views Sally
as having those feelings toward him. Were
Juan to displace his feelings, he would express
love fore someone else or something else. If
Juan were to use reaction formation, he would
claim to hate Sally. Juan could sublimate by
directing his energies toward honing his ice
hockey skills or writing poetry. Finally, were
Juan to deny his crush, when asked about it,
Question 10
• Humanistic psychologist assert that people are
motivated to self-actualize. Which of the
following statements best describes the meaning
of this term?
• A. accepting themselves the way they are.
• B. encouraging others to pursue their dreams.
• C. identifying core principles by which to live.
• D. trying to achieve their full potential.
• E. bringing their actions into line with their
desires.
Answer 10
• D. self-actualization is defined as achieving
one’s full potential: very few people ever truly
self-actualize. Rather than accepting oneself
as is, self-actualization is a drive to grow and
improve. It is self-focused, not other focused,
and does not necessarily involve the
identification of core principles or bringing
one’s actions in to line with one’s desires.
