Multiple Choice

B) Only the specific personality traits can be measured with adequate reliability and content validity,which means that only the specific traits have any usefulness in practical settings.
C) Sometimes a specific personality trait is likely to be especially strongly related to the variables that one wants to predict (much more so than other traits within the same factor) .

E) None of the above;the discovery of the major factors has made this practice completely unnecessary.
