Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Projective tests, such as the Rorschach or Thematic Apperception Test, involve presenting ambiguous stimuli and asking individuals to interpret what they see or telling a story about the image. The responses are believed to reflect unconscious thoughts and feelings, as opposed to objective tests which have a clear right or wrong answer. Double-blind and single-blind tests are not relevant to this type of assessment.
