On the Nature and Utility of Projective Tests and Objective Tests

Pages 257-270 | Published online: 10 Jun 2010
 

Abstract

This article briefly reviews the empirical evidence on the participant-examiner interaction and describes the extent to which actuarial methods of using projective materials now dominate the literature. Objective and projective means of assessing personality are then compared. Long-term behavior is predicted more efficiently by projective, methods whereas short-term behavior is predicted better by objective tests.
