Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of test Dan is taking involves responding to statements and indicating whether they are true or false. This is characteristic of an inventory, which is a type of psychological test that assesses a person's characteristics or traits based on their responses to standardized statements or questions. Behavioral logs involve recording behavior, the TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) involves interpreting ambiguous images, and projective tests involve responding to ambiguous stimuli to reveal underlying thoughts or feelings.
