Are you aware of psychometric testing? If not you need to know that it is a personality test which is used to let a person respond to ambiguous stimuli. It is mainly carried out to reveal the hidden emotions and internal conflicts projected by the person into the test. In case of the “objective test” or “self-report test” the responses are analyzed according to a presumed universal standard. For example, a multiple choice exam, and are limited to the content of the test.
As against this in case of the psychometric tests, the responses to projective tests are content analyzed for meaning rather than being based on presuppositions about meaning, as is the case with objective tests.
According to the psychologists in Kolkata, The projective tests originated from psychoanalytic psychology. Here it is believed that humans have conscious and unconscious attitudes and motivations that are beyond or hidden from conscious awareness. It is an indirect method-where in the person undergoing the test speaks about something that comes spontaneously from the self without conscious awareness or editing.
