Evaluating Objective and Projective Asessments
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 8 and 9 in your textbook.

In this assignment, you will compare projective and objective methods of personality
assessment. Research a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles in the University of
Arizona Global Campus Library that were published within the last 15 years on these
techniques. In your paper, you will provide an evaluation of these techniques organized
according to the outline provided below. Use information from your researched peer-
reviewed articles and required sources to support your work in each section.

Section 1: Objective Personality Assessment

Define the term objective in objective methods of personality assessment.
Summarize the features of objective methods of personality assessment, and
provide at least three examples of these types of measures.
Explain the assumptions on which objective methods are based, and provide an
analysis of empirical research testing the validity of the assumptions you
identified.
Appraise the research exploring the technical adequacy (i.e., reliability and
validity) of objective tests.
Describe the impact of social and culture variability on the administration and
interpretation of objective tests.

Section 2: Projective Personality Assessment

Define the term projective in projective methods of personality assessment.
Summarize the features of projective methods of personality assessment, and
provide at least three examples of these types of measures.
Explain the assumptions on which projective methods are based, and provide an
analysis of empirical research testing the validity of the assumptions you

analysis of empirical research testing the validity of the assumptions you
identified.
Appraise the research exploring the technical adequacy (i.e., reliability and
validity) of projective tests.
Describe the impact of social and culture variability on the administration and
interpretation of projective tests.

Section 3: Synthesis, Conclusions, and Recommendations

Write a brief one-paragraph scenario for a fictitious client. Include the following
information: presenting concerns (reason for referral), age, gender, ethnicity,
language(s), and any other significant information (e.g., military status, health
issues, marital status, sexual orientation, etc.).
Debate the arguments supporting and opposing the use of projective and
objective personality assessments with your identified client.
Select a minimum of one objective and one projective measure to use with your
client. Compare the use of the selected projective and objective personality
measures with your identified client. Note: It is common for there to be a delay
between the time a test publisher updates a test and the time the textbook and
other authors can update their information about the new version of the test. Be
sure to do online research to make sure you are recommending the most current
version of the tests. If there is a newer version than the version discussed in the
textbook or other readings, recommend the newest version.
Analyze the advantages and limitations of each assessment measure you
selected.
Compose recommendations to improve the validity of personality assessment.
