Correct Answer - Option 3 : TAT
Projective tests are sets of ambiguous stimuli, such as ink blots or incomplete sentences, and the individual responds with the first thought or series of thoughts that come to mind or tells a story about each stimulus.
Projective tests are based on Freudian psychology and seek to expose people’s unconscious perceptions by using ambiguous stimuli to reveal the inner aspects of an individual’s personality.
Two of the most popular projective measures are the Thematic Apperception Measure and the Rorschach test.
