A projective test of personality:

(Answer to Q. 1)  a. clearly describes an objective assessment of personality.
b. has low inter-scorer reliability and validity.
c. was initially based on the behavioral theory of personality.
d. is consistent across circumstances and individuals taking the test.
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. In such a case, the inter-scorer reliability of the test is low.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The theory underlying projective techniques is that when we are presented with an ambiguous stimulus, like an inkblot or a picture that can be interpreted in more than one way, we will project our innermost needs, fears, and values onto the stimulus when we're asked to describe it. Because the interpretation of the results of projective tests is so subjective, these tests are not high in reliability or validity.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: A
PTS: 1
A-HEAD: Assessing Your Personality
REF: 16
FEEDBACK: It has 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. Understandably, many people feel a greater sense of anonymity and privacy when interacting with a computer and so reveal more personal information.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Despite the problems involved in self-report inventories, these still remain the most objective approach to personality assessment. Their greatest advantage is that they are designed to be scored objectively and quickly through automated personality assessment programs, providing a complete diagnostic profile of the test-taker's responses.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Although there are self-report inventories to assess many facets of personality, the tests are not always appropriate for people whose level of intelligence is below normal, or for those with limited reading skills. Even minor changes in the wording of the questions or the response alternatives on self-report measures can lead to major changes in the results.
