Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
(A) Tested as a tool for psychological diagnosis — this matches (III) MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Test). Hathaway and McKinley developed the MMPI as a helping tool for psychiatric diagnosis, and it has proved very effective in identifying varieties of psychopathology.
(B) Self report measure — this matches (I) EPQ (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire). The EPQ is a self-report measure of introversion-extraversion, emotional stability-instability and psychoticism. The MMPI and the 16PF are self-report measures too, but each of them fits a more specific description in List I, so the general description is left for the EPQ.
(C) Used for career guidance — this matches (IV) 16PF (Sixteen Personality Factors). Cattell’s test has been found extremely useful in career guidance, vocational exploration and occupational testing.
(D) Conducted in two phases-performance proper and inquiry — this matches (II) Rorschach Inkblot Test. The inkblot cards are given individually in two phases: in the performance proper the subject tells what she/he sees in each card, and in the inquiry a detailed report of the responses is taken.
NCERT (2025-26): “The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) … Hathaway and McKinley developed this test as a helping tool for psychiatric diagnosis, but the test has been found very effective in identifying varieties of psychopathology.…” “Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) … Developed by Eysenck this test initially assessed two dimensions of personality, called introverted-extraverted and emotionally stable-emotionally unstable. These dimensions are characterised by 32 personality traits. Later on, Eysenck added a third dimension, called psychoticism.…” “Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) … The test can be used with high school level students as well as with adults. It has been found extremely useful in career guidance, vocational exploration, and occupational testing.…” “The Rorschach Inkblot Test … The cards are administered individually in two phases. In the first phase, called performance proper, the subjects are shown the cards and are asked to tell what they see in each of them. In the second phase, called inquiry, a detailed report of the response is prepared by asking the subject to tell where, how, and on what basis was a particular response made.…” |
