Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: There is no universal agreement about the Rorschach's usefulness and validity, even with the Comprehensive System for scoring. Some researchers have concluded that there is no scientific basis for the Rorschach; others insist that the test is as valid as any other personality assessment measure.

Answer to Question 2

a. clearly describes an objective assessment of personality.
b. has low inter-scorer reliability and validity.
c. was initially based on the behavioral theory of personality.
d. is consistent across circumstances and individuals taking the test.
FEEDBACK: Because the interpretation of the results of projective tests is so subjective, these tests are not high in reliability or validity. It is not unusual for different people giving the test to form quite different impressions of the same person, based on the results of a projective test. In such a case, the inter-scorer reliability of the test is low.
