Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Word association tests, like those developed by Carl Jung, are based on the premise that certain key words can trigger responses that reveal areas of conflict or underlying issues in an individual's psyche. These tests are not exclusively based on cognitive theories, do not solely use "traumatic" words, and do not employ normative databases matched to U.S. census data.
