AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In psychology, a projective test is a personality test designed to let a person respond to ambiguous stimuli, presumably revealing hidden emotions and internal conflicts projected by the person into the test.

Detailed explanation-2: -Projective tests use ambiguous images or other ambiguous stimuli to assess an individual’s unconscious fears, desires, and challenges. The Rorschach Inkblot Test, the TAT, the RISB, and the C-TCB are all forms of projective tests.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Thematic Apperception Test, or TAT, is a type of projective test that involves describing ambiguous scenes to learn more about a person’s emotions, motivations, and personality.

Detailed explanation-4: -A projective test is a personality test in which subjects are shown ambiguous images or given situations and asked to interpret them. The subjects are to project their own emotions, attitudes, and impulses onto the stimulus given; and then use these projections to explain an image, tell a story, or finish a sentence.
