Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective test that allows individuals to reveal their unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations through their interpretation of ambiguous pictures. As a psychoanalytic psychologist, Chuck is likely to use a technique such as the TAT that allows for the exploration of unconscious dimensions of personality. The other options (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and personality-assessment inventory) are not projective tests and do not focus specifically on uncovering unconscious processes.
