Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ron is engaging in a form of projective test, as he is interpreting ambiguous stimuli (the shapes of clouds) and attributing meaning to them. Hallucinations and delusions involve more severe distortions of reality and are not applicable in this scenario. Taking an objective test would not be relevant in this situation.
