d. All of these are correct.
ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Cattell's objective measurements of personality used three primary assessment techniques, which he called L-data (life records), Q-data (questionnaires), and T-data (personality tests). The L-data technique involves observers' ratings of specific behaviors exhibited by people in real-life settings such as a classroom or office. The Q-data technique relies on questionnaires. The T-data technique involves the use of what Cattell called "objective" tests, in which a person responds without knowing what aspect of behavior is being evaluated.
