In this monograph, we review the current state of the literature concerning the psychometric properties (norms, reliability, validity, incremental validity, treatment utility) of three major projective instruments: Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and human figure drawings.

This article focuses on four of the most frequently used projective assessment techniques in pediatric research: the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT); the Child Apperception Test (CAT); the Rorschach; and Human Figure Drawings (HFDs).

- Summary
Our philosophy in writing this chapter was not to espouse either of the strong views on projective testing. Instead, our goal was to provide the reader with an overview of this method of assessment that would allow for an informed view of the appropriate role of projective techniques in clinical assessments. Too often in the past, the debate over p...
Much of the debate over the use of projective techniques comes from a confusion as to what are the most appropriate criteria with which to judge the usefulness of projectives. Traditional methods of evaluating psychological tests are grounded in measurement theory, which, as was discussed in Chap. 2, relies primarily on indexes of the reliability a...
The divergent approaches to the interpretation of projectives can be descriptively labeled as the psychometric approach and the clinical approach. The problem that arises in the use of projectives is that many clinical assessors aren’t aware of the approach that they are using and, therefore, do not recognize the limitations of their approach. To p...
Even more basic than the debate over the method of interpretation is confusion over what psychological processes projective techniques are supposed to measure. The critical nature of this question is obvious from a psychometric viewpoint. Validity is the critical property of a test, and it is often defined as evidence that the test is measuring wha...
Our approach to the debate over the use of projective techniques is that assessors should use or not use projective testing based on a careful consideration of critical assessment issues. Assessors are often unclear about what approach to measurement they are using (i.e., clinical or psychometric) and often make inappropriate interpretations based ...
Abstract. Despite continuing criticism regarding the psychometric credibility of projective techniques, evident in the scholarly literature (e.g., Imuta et al., 2013; Lawrence et al., 2021; Ryan et al., 2019), mounting recent evidence indicates that projective tests are considered an integral part of acceptable methods used or applied in ...
Feb 1, 1996 · The investigators in the review sample em- ployed a variety of projective techniques to study children including drawings, picture tests, storytelling, sentence completion, color-prefer- ence selection, poster production, and specific associative techniques.

Projective/Performance-based measures help identify determinants of dysfunctional behaviors and emotions not detected by self-report assessment. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) show parts of the brain that are activated by projective stimuli such as the Rorschach inkblots.
