Projective Personality Assessments
Rorschach: 10 cards
-free association: describe what see
-inquiry phase
score based off location, determinants (characteristics determining examinee's responses), content, form quality, popularity, interpretation
--whole responses suggest creative/theoretical thinking, confabulation (overgeneralizing) suggests brain injury, cog impairment, or schizo
