Indirect techniques of personality assessment are those that assess unconscious motives and feelings.
These are also called projective techniques.
The stimuli are relatively or fully unstructured and poorly defined.
The person being assessed is usually not told about the purpose of assessment and the method of scoring and interpretation.
The person is informed that there are no correct or incorrect responses
Each response is considered to reveal a significant aspect of personality.
Scoring and interpretation are lengthy and sometimes subjective.
