Briefly explain the fundamental differences between projective personality tests (e.g., Rorschach, TAT) and objective personality tests (e.g., MMPI, MMPI-2, and NEO-PI-R).
What will be an ideal response?
Projective tests involve presenting the client with ambiguous stimuli. They assume that the way an individual perceives and makes sense of the blots corresponds to the way they perceive and make sense of the world around them. Objective tests are typically pencil-and-paper self-report instruments with more restricted ranges of responding (e.g., multiple choice or true–false rather than free response). Objective tests have generally had less questionable reliability and validity than projective tests.
