While psychologists do not typically refer to infants as having "personalities," infants do display personality-like attributes called _____________

A) states
B) moods
C) quasi-personalities
D) temperaments

Answer: D
Rationale: Newborn infants typically are not described with the same range of adjectives that we use for adults; adults may be thought of as talkative, ambitious, greedy, and arrogant, whereas infants probably are not. However, within their first few months of life, infants do show the beginnings of personality characteristics in the form of temperaments.
