Personality Tests & What They Expose

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

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

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

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