In this video I explain how projective techniques have been used to assess personality. These represent an idiographic approach to assessment and focus on the unique aspects of a person's personality. The most famous projective test is the Rorschach Inkblot Test, created by Hermann Rorschach in 1918. The Thematic Apperception test created by Henry Murray involves explaining an ambiguous situation and the people involved. While projective tests may provide insights about personality, it's important to remember that answers may not represent actual motives and that there are problems with standardization and interpretation.
