Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Projective tests are designed to reveal a person's unconscious thoughts and desires through responses to ambiguous stimuli, such as pictures. The test taker is asked to make up stories or interpret the meaning of the pictures, which are believed to reflect their innermost feelings and motivations. Objective tests require specific, factual responses, while subjective tests rely on the individual's personal opinions and experiences. Essay tests require the test taker to write out their responses in detail, but do not typically involve interpreting ambiguous stimuli.
