Projective tests, such as the Rorschach inkblot test or the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), rely heavily on the subjective interpretation of the test responses by the psychologist or assessor. This process can introduce the assessor's personal biases into the interpretation of the results, potentially affecting the accuracy and objectivity of the personality assessment.
