Which of the following is not a projective test?

ADifferential aptitude test.

BRorshach's ink blot test.

CThematic Apperception test

DSentence completion test

Answer:

A. Differential aptitude test.

Read Explanation:

A projective test is a personality test that uses ambiguous stimuli to reveal a person's hidden emotions and internal conflicts. The test taker is asked to interpret the stimuli, such as inkblots or images, by explaining it, telling a story, or finishing a sentence. The test taker's responses are then interpreted to evaluate their personality. 

The idea behind projective tests is that a person's personality is projected onto the ambiguous stimulus through their response. This is called the projective hypothesis. 

Some examples of projective tests include: 

  • Rorschach Test: Uses inkblots as the ambiguous stimuli 

  • Thematic Apperception Test (TAT): Uses storytelling as the method of interpretation 

  • House-Tree-Person (HTP) Test: Uses drawing a house, tree, and person as the method of interpretation 

Projective tests became popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and were used more widely in the United States military during World War II. However, some critics argue that the tests lack reliability and validity, and may not consistently measure what they are intended to measure.

The DAT is a tool that measures your abilities and skills, such as verbal, numerical ability, abstract reasoning, mechanical reasoning and space relations. The DAT is used with adults looking at a wide range of career and planning options, including some industrial firms.
