Question:

Identify the test which uses Projective Techniques for personality Assessment.

Options:

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire

Eysenck Personality Questionnaire

The Thematic Apperception Test

Correct Answer:

The Thematic Apperception Test

Explanation:

The correct answer is The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).

Projective techniques are a type of personality assessment that uses ambiguous stimuli, such as inkblots or pictures, to elicit responses from the test-taker. These responses are then interpreted to reveal the person's unconscious thoughts, feelings, and motivations.

The TAT is one of the most well-known projective tests. It consists of 31 black-and-white photographs that depict various scenes of people engaged in different activities. The test-taker is asked to look at each picture and tell a story about what is happening in the picture. The psychologist then interprets the stories to identify themes and patterns that may reveal the person's personality.

The other tests listed are not projective tests. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PFQ), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) are all self-report personality inventories. This means that they ask the test-taker to answer questions about themselves. The answers to these questions are then used to score the test-taker on various personality traits.
