Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Projective, clinically oriented personality tests (such as the Rorschach or Thematic Apperception Test) have been criticized for their lack of reliability and validity. The subjective interpretation of the test results by the clinician administering the test and the lack of standardized scoring procedures make it difficult to determine the accuracy and consistency of the results.
