The Rorschach Inkblot tests, unlike the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), can be widely used for ethnic minorities.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

Although projective tests have low reliability and low validity, they are still widely used for assessment and diagnostic purposes.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 3

Projective tests are highly accurate and objective in their ability to describe personality.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

---

Question 4

Significant differences in responses to most self-report inventories have been found between paper-and-pencil tests and the same tests administered online.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 5

Online testing is less expensive and less time-consuming than conventional classroom tests.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: The MMPI can be used with greater confidence, especially for ethnic minority groups and diverse cultural groups. Overall, validity research is generally more supportive of the MMPI than of the Rorschach.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: T
FEEDBACK: It is not unusual for different people giving the projective test to form quite different impressions of the same person, based on the results of a projective test. In such a case, the inter-scorer reliability of the test is low. Nevertheless, these tests are widely used for assessment and diagnostic purposes.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Because the interpretation of the results of projective tests is so subjective, these tests are not high in reliability or validity. It is not unusual for different people giving the test to form quite different impressions of the same person, based on the results of a projective test.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: F
FEEDBACK: No significant differences in responses to most self-report inventories have been found between paper-and-pencil tests and the same tests administered online. It has also been found that most of us are significantly more likely to reveal sensitive, even potentially embarrassing, information when responding online to self-report inventories than to paper-and-pencil tests given in person by a live test administrator.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: T
PTS: 1
A-HEAD: Assessing Your Personality
REF: 16
FEEDBACK: Online testing is less expensive and less time-consuming than conventional classroom tests for both an applicant and an organization. Many employers prefer that job applicants take tests this way as a prescreening method, rather than taking up time and space at the company's office.

You are really a genius. Thanks
