The Rorschach Inkblot Technique is a projective test for assessing personality by asking participants to describe what a series of inkblots look like. Similarly, the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective test to measure personality. The TAT asks participants to generate stories about what is happening in a series of pictures. Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale is a cognitive test to measure whether people believe he or she is responsible for situational outcomes. The NEO-PI measures the stability of the Big Five personality traits. The MMPI-2 measures serious mental problems on ten clinical scales by asking participants to respond to 567 statements regarding their beliefs and preferences. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is based on Jungian types, and it places people in a four-dimensional personality type based on how individuals perceive the world and relate to others.
