(T/F) Out of Robert Merton's list of 5 personality types - conformity, innovator, ritualist, retreatist, and rebel- all but one is deviant according to Merton's definition.

False.

According to Robert Merton's strain theory, which outlines how social structures and cultural values can create a strain or tension that leads to deviant behavior, only one of the five personality types he identified is deviant. The deviant personality type is the rebel, who both rejects the goals of society and the means of achieving them. The other four personality types - conformity, innovator, ritualist, and retreatist - are not inherently deviant, but they may exhibit deviant behavior if they are unable to achieve the socially accepted goals through legitimate means.
