Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The psychologist is using an objective test to measure Maria's personality because she is answering a large number of questions about her feelings, beliefs, and behaviors, and the psychologist does not believe the test will reveal unconscious influences. Objective tests are standardized measures in which responses are given in a limited range of options (e.g. true/false or multiple choice), and there is a clear method for scoring the responses. These tests are considered objective because they are not subject to the interpretation of the examiner. Examples of objective tests include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
