Question 1
Which theory of personality places emphasis on understanding and studying the whole human being rather than isolated traits or behaviors?
  • Trait theory
  • Behaviorist theory

  • None of these
Correct Answer Explanation

The Humanistic theory of personality, associated with Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, focuses on the whole person — their experiences, feelings, self-concept, and potential for growth. It contrasts with Trait theory (which categorizes fixed traits) and Behaviorism (which focuses on observable behavior only).

Correct Answer: C — Humanistic theory.
