______ are called the indirect methods of Personality Assessment.

Projective Techniques

The correct answer is Option (3) → Projective Techniques

Projective techniques are called indirect methods of personality assessment because they present ambiguous stimuli (such as inkblots or vague pictures) to individuals, and the responses given are believed to reflect unconscious aspects of their personality. These techniques allow people to project their thoughts, feelings, and conflicts onto the stimulus, thus revealing hidden or less conscious aspects of their personality. Examples include the Rorschach Inkblot Test and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).
