To avoid confusion in terminology, Allport relabeled individual traits as:
a. instincts.
c. learned responses.
b. constructs.
d. personal dispositions.
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Initially, Allport proposed two types of traits: individual and common. Individual traits are unique to a person and define his or her character. Common traits are shared by a number of people, such as the members of a culture. Allport later realized that some confusion could result from calling both of these phenomena traits, and so he revised his terminology. He relabeled common traits as traits and individual traits as personal dispositions and common traits as traits.
