Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(I), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)
(A) Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire — this matches (IV) Cattell. Cattell applied factor analysis to a large set of personality descriptors and found 16 primary or source traits; the 16PF assesses them. It is a self-report measure.
(B) Thematic Apperception Test — this matches (I) Morgan and Murray. The TAT has 30 black and white picture cards and one blank card; the person makes up a story about each picture. It is a projective technique.
(C) Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory — this matches (II) Hathaway and McKinley. They developed the MMPI as a helping tool for psychiatric diagnosis; the person judges each of its statements as ‘true’ or ‘false’ for herself or himself.
(D) Inkblot Test — this matches (III) Rorschach. Hermann Rorschach made the test from 10 symmetrical inkblots, first made by dropping ink on paper and folding it; the person says what she or he sees in each blot.
