Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychodynamic theorists believe that individuals project unconscious needs, drives, and motives on to an ambiguous stimulus when taking a projective test. These unconscious projections are then interpreted by a trained professional to gain insight into the individual's psyche. While sexual and aggressive impulses may be part of the unconscious, the broader category of unconscious projections is a more accurate and encompassing answer. Suppressed needs and drives may also be part of the unconscious, but again, the broader category of unconscious projections is a more fitting answer.
