The test described is the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS), which is a self-report inventory used to measure a person's needs and motives. The other options listed are different psychological tests, but they do not involve choosing between pairs of statements to assess needs and motives. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) involves interpreting ambiguous pictures, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) measures cognitive abilities, and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) assesses personality traits and psychopathology.
