This is an example of one of the problems faced by people trying to measure modal personality, which is that: a. people do not give consistent responses to the same picture from one day to the next. b. not everyone in a society has the same personality. c. tests devised in one cultural setting may not be appropriate in another. d. language problems can create misinterpretations. e. not everyone has the same type of eyesight.
