Personality Tests & What They Expose

1. Projective Tests are evaluations that compare responses to standardized norms. This is to expose personality aspects that are not measured by objective tests.

2. NEO PO-R is highly reliable in detecting clinical psychopathology.

3. The Judging portion in the Myers-Briggs test refers to decision making rather than the negative definition of “judging” someone.

4. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a test that involves 31 black and white drawings on cards. This test is supposed to expose underlying needs.
