Correct Answer - Option 3 : personality

Personality is all that a person is. It is the totality of one’s behaviour towards one’s own self as well as others. It includes everything about the person, his/her physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual make-up. 

  • Projective techniques of personality measurement are the tests which are designed to:
    • reveal those central aspects of personality that lie in the unconscious mind of an individual.
    • evaluate a person's interests, attitudes, pattern of thought, etc while giving responses to ambiguous test materials.

 

There are different kinds of Projective techniques of personality measurement and 'Thematic Apperception Test' is one of them.

  • Henry Murray, an American psychologist, created history by constructing the 'Thematic Appreciation Test'.
  • In this test, ambiguous pictures or test materials are given to participants. This test can uncover a person’s true personality, their capacity for emotional control.
  • It is designed to reveal and evaluate a person's interests, attitudes, observation power, pattern of thought, etc. while giving responses to ambiguous test materials.

Hence, it could be concluded that the 'Thematic Apperception Test' is a device for measuring personality.

  • Intelligence: Intelligence can be defined as the ability to grasp information, understanding concept, and solving problems. 
  • Aptitude: It is the present performance of an individual that shows future achievement. It refers to the inborn potential to learn and do a specific area of work effectively.
