A person is asked to respond to vague/ambiguous stimuli when taking a :

  • A.Pencil and paper test
  • B.Projective test
  • C.Personality inventory
  • D.Behavioural assessment

Answer: B

Vague or ambiguous stimuli are presented in a projective test.

Projective tests such as the Rorschach inkblots, the TAT and sentence-completion tests give an unstructured stimulus. Because the stimulus has no single correct meaning, the person is assumed to project his or her own needs, conflicts and ways of seeing into the response.

Pencil-and-paper tests and personality inventories (such as the MMPI) use clear, structured items with fixed answers. Behavioural assessment observes actual behaviour in defined situations.
