Study Notes

Projective Tests

  • Projective tests are personality assessments where individuals respond to ambiguous stimuli, such as images or words.
  • The goal is to reveal unconscious desires and thoughts that remain hidden from conscious awareness.

The Rorschach Inkblot Test

  • Created by Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach in 1921, this test consists of 10 inkblot cards.
  • Participants describe their perceptions of each inkblot, which allows insight into their personality and emotional functioning.

Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
