  2. How do we assess the unconscious? We can use hypnosis or free association. But more often we use projective tests. -Ambiguous stimuli, asking questions about it - Two widely-used types

  3. 1. TAT TestThematic Apperception Test • Giving the subject a picture that is ambiguous, then ask them what is occurring. • Their answers reveal the manifest content. • They can then discover the Latent Content.

  5. 2. Rorschach Inkblot Test • The most widely used projective test -A set of ten inkblots designed to identify people’s feelings when they are asked to interpret what they see in the inkblots.

  14. Problems? • Brainstorm some potential problems with projective tests • No universal scoring; completely up to psychologist (open to bias/discrimination) • Poor predictive ability for future behavior • Remember 2 basic criteria for a good test • Reliability & Validity

  15. Projective Tests: Criticisms Critics argue that projective tests lack both reliability (consistency of results) and validity (predicting what it is supposed to). When evaluating the same patient, even trained raters come up with different interpretations (reliability). 2. Projective tests may misdiagnose a normal individual as pathological (validity).
