What are the pros and cons of projective and objective personality tests?
What will be an ideal response?
Projective tests have great strengths -- they focus on unique aspects of personality and allow for exploration of many issues. They are often hard to interpret and can be subjective and unreliable. Objective tests are very reliable and do not require subjective interpretation. But they are limited in what they cover, require the cooperation of the test-taker, and may require above average reading levels.
