Projective Tests

The idea
Projective tests present ambiguous stimuli on the assumption that responses reveal unconscious material.
In practice
A person is asked to describe what an ambiguous scene depicts and what led to it.
Where people slip
Projective tests generally show low reliability and contested validity. They remain in clinical use and in dispute.
