What is a projective test?
What will be an ideal response?
A projective test is a test designed to measure personal characteristics. Projective tests are intended to be an unstructured means of revealing what is on someone's mind. Examples of projective tests include the TAT and the Rorschach Test. Both ask the client to provide an interpretation of an ambiguous stimulus. It is assumed that the explanation provided will involve some "projection" of the client's own issues.
