Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: The theory underlying projective techniques is that when we are presented with an ambiguous stimulus, like an inkblot or a picture that can be interpreted in more than one way, we will project our innermost needs, fears, and values onto the stimulus when we're asked to describe it. Because the interpretation of the results of projective tests is so subjective, these tests are not high in reliability or validity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
PTS: 1
A-HEAD: Assessing Your Personality
REF: 16
FEEDBACK: It has been found that most of us are significantly more likely to reveal sensitive, even potentially embarrassing, information when responding online to self-report inventories than to paper-and-pencil tests given in person by a live test administrator. Understandably, many people feel a greater sense of anonymity and privacy when interacting with a computer and so reveal more personal information.
