A type of personality test where the participant interprets ambiguous stimuli, like inkblots or pictures.

A type of personality test with clear instructions and structured response options.

A term for something vague, unclear, or open to interpretation. In the context of personality tests, this refers to the stimuli.

A theory stating that an individual's interpretation of ambiguous stimuli reflects their own underlying personality traits, experiences, and motivations.

A projective test that uses inkblots as stimuli, where individuals are asked to describe what they see.

A psychological test using inkblots to assess personality functioning, widely debated for its accuracy and reliability. It was first utilized by Kerner (1857) and later developed by Binet (1896) and Rorschach (1921).

A response to an inkblot that indicates a conventional perception, suggesting accurate perception or a willingness to conform.

A response to an inkblot that indicates a non-conventional perception, suggesting a distorted perception, resistance to conformity, or unique thought patterns.

The process of presenting the Rorschach inkblots to the test subject, where the administrator remains silent and allows the subject to freely share their interpretations.

A projective test that uses inkblots as stimuli to reveal a person's personality and inner world.

The tendency for some scores to increase as the total number of responses increases.

A problem with the Rorschach when it misidentifies a large number of people as having psychological issues.

Testing whether the results of a test are consistent over time or across different studies.

Testing whether the test actually measures what it claims to measure.

The location on the inkblot where the respondent sees the image. It can be the whole blot (W), a detail (D), or a combination of these (D,Dd).

The quality of the form the respondent sees in the inkblot. It's a measure of how well the response matches the inkblot's shape. Examples include: F+ (good match), F (fair match), F- (poor match)

What the respondent uses to determine their response. It could be form (F), movement (M), color (C), shading (T), or a combination of these. E.g. a response based on only form is 'F', while a response using both form and color is 'FC'.

The type of movement seen in the inkblot. It can be active (M), passive (FM), or both (M/FM). For example, a butterfly flying is considered active movement.

The content of the response. It can be a human (H), animal (A), object (Inanimate), or a combination of these. For example, a response of a 'dog' is 'A'.

The frequency of a particular response. It is considered 'popular' if a majority of respondents see it, and 'uncommon' if few respondents see it.

Measures unusual ways of responding to the inkblot. Examples include: DV (Deviant Verbalization), DR (Deviant Response), INCOM (Incongruous Combination).

The combination of the location and the quality of the response. It measures the sophistication of the respondent's perception. Examples of scoring include: (W), (D), (Dd), (W+D)

A non-pictorial projective test where subjects complete sentences, revealing their thoughts and feelings in a less structured manner.

A projective test where individuals draw various figures, like a person, house, or tree, revealing their personality traits and emotional state.

A non-pictorial projective test where the tester says a word and the subject responds with the first word that comes to mind, revealing their unique associations and mental processes.

Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), which uses a series of cards depicting ambiguous scenes, aiming to reveal the participant's underlying needs, motivations, and emotions.

A projective test designed specifically for children, using pictures instead of inkblots, allowing for easier interpretation and assessment.

The Holtzman Inkblot Test (HIT) was developed as an alternative to the Rorschach test to address limitations like inconsistent response numbers, non-standardized procedures, and the lack of alternative forms.

The TAT utilizes 30 images, with 20 typically shown in two sessions, and includes images categorized by gender, age, and subject matter. It also features one blank card, which is designed to encourage more creative and personalized responses.

TAT scoring systems aim to quantify the themes, needs, and pressures revealed in the stories. Key elements include identifying the hero (the character the participant relates to), their needs, the environmental forces impacting them, and the overall storyline and outcomes.

TAT is a projective test designed for evaluating personality rather than diagnosing specific conditions. It is based on Murray's needs theory, which suggests that individuals' personalities are influenced by their underlying needs and motivations.
