Which of the following is the main drawback of direct techniques of personality assessment?

Options:

Provide subjective information

Reveal unconscious motives

Depend on self-reporting

Are unstructured and defined

Correct Answer:

Depend on self-reporting

They may also respond in a socially desirable manner, which can limit the accuracy of the assessment.
