Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Projective personality tests present ambiguous stimuli to the respondent (such as inkblots or storytelling prompts) and require the respondent to interpret them. The interpretation is thought to reveal aspects of the respondent's unconscious thoughts, motivations, and personality traits. In contrast, objective personality tests (such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) involve more straightforward questions about the respondent's attitudes, behaviors, and preferences. Cognitive and reflective tests may also involve interpretation of stimuli, but are not typically used to assess personality.
