Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) and the Rorschach are projective tests of personality. They require the respondent to interpret ambiguous stimuli, such as pictures or inkblots, and then reveal something about their personality through their interpretations. Objective tests require more direct responses, such as selecting from a list of options or rating oneself on a scale. Reflective tests ask the respondent to reflect on themselves or their experiences, while self-report tests directly ask the respondent about themselves.
