Q1Which statement about Cattell's personality theory is correct?
Cattell's distinctive contribution was the use of factor analysis to infer 16 source traits beneath surface traits, operationalised in the 16PF. Eysenck's PEN dimensions, the Big Five labels and Allport's trait hierarchy are separate trait frameworks.
Q2Match the personality model with its correct set of dimensions or trait terms. 1. Eysenck's PEN model 2. Big Five model 3. Allport's trait hierarchy 4. Cattell's trait theory
Eysenck's PEN model uses psychoticism, extraversion and neuroticism; the Big Five uses the OCEAN factors; Allport uses cardinal, central and secondary traits; Cattell contrasts source and surface traits. The traps work by swapping these well-known frameworks with one another.
Q3Consider the following statements about William Sheldon's somatotypes. I. Endomorphy is associated with a soft, round physique and a sociable, relaxed temperament. II. Mesomorphy is associated with a muscular physique and energetic, assertive tendencies. III. Ectomorphy is associated with a lean, fragile physique and a restrained, introverted temperament. Which statements are correct?
William Sheldon related endomorphy to a soft, round physique and sociable relaxation, mesomorphy to muscularity and assertive energy, and ectomorphy to leanness with restraint or introversion. Rejecting any one of the three statements would break one of these established somatotype pairings.
Q4Which statement about Kretschmer's body-build theory is incorrect?
Ernst Kretschmer associated the pyknic build with cyclothymic temperament and the asthenic or leptosomic build with schizothymic temperament. Athletic and dysplastic were also included as body-build types, so the statement that assigns schizothymic temperament to pyknic build is the error.
Q5Which set contains only the three levels of Freud's topographical model of the mind?
Freud's topographical model classifies mental life as conscious, preconscious and unconscious. Id, ego and superego belong to the structural model, while oral, anal and phallic are stages in his psychosexual theory.
