Question

Which of the following is not an example of a projective test?

Answer

Projective tests are ask individuals to interpret ambiguous stimuli (e.g. un-captioned pictures, abstract images, or sounds) in order to make inferences about their unconscious drives, conflicts, and personality traits. The MMPI is not projective but instead consists of a personality inventory of questions that ask about the individual's behaviors and life experiences.
