Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Kotchick is using projective tests, which present ambiguous stimuli to the patient and record their interpretations. The inkblot shapes are an example of a projective test. Objective tests, on the other hand, present clear questions or statements with set responses, such as multiple choice questions. Subjective tests do not have a set way of scoring, while unconscious tests are a broad category that does not necessarily apply to this specific scenario.
