Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Projective techniques use ambiguous objects, such as inkblots or pictures, to elicit unique responses that can provide insight into a person's personality. The ambiguity allows for a variety of interpretations and responses, which can reveal underlying motives and conflicts. Essay questions (choice A) and questions about imagining oneself in the future (choice D) do not necessarily involve ambiguity, and validity scales (choice B) are used to assess the honesty of responses rather than the use of ambiguous objects.
