Question 2 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

A study conducted on __________ found issues such as consistent low reliability and poor validity.

Answer
A
personality assessments
B
projective tests
C
self-inventory tests
D
source errors

Explanation

Projective tests ask people to interpret ambiguous images or situations, and their answers are interpreted by an examiner. Research has raised concerns that these tests can produce inconsistent results and may not measure what they claim to measure, meaning they can have low reliability and poor validity. Self-inventory tests generally use standardized questions instead.
