After looking at the handwriting, Bob says “I can see that you are a person who likes fun, who thinks about moneysometimes, and who is opposed to bad things.” Patrick is impressed, and feels likeBob’s fairly general statement describes Patrick somewhat well.

00:01 Hi guys, today we're looking at the question, what kind of psychologist would be most likely to use a projective personality assessment? so, projective personality.

00:18 I'm just going to write, sorry about that, i'm just going to write tests rather than assessment for the sake of time.

00:25 Okay, so first i think it's going to be helpful to look at exactly what that means.

00:29 So projective personality tests, it's going to basically be giving somebody an ambiguous stimuli.

00:35 And what that means is something that has no emotional charge to it.

00:41 So it's going to be something like most famously the inkblot test.

00:44 It's just going to be like splotches of ink on the paper.

00:49 And then you have them respond, basically, like, what are you seeing this as? what are you picturing this as? and then through that, you analyze their response in order to find out a little bit more about their thinking, their feeling, their emotions.

01:07 So that's what a projective personality test is going to be.

01:11 And i'm going to erase that and get into the answers.

01:13 Just heads up.

01:22 Okay.

01:22 Come on.

01:23 There we go.

01:24 So now let's look at our options.

01:28 Social cognitive psychologist.

01:30 I'm just going to write that says soc cog.

01:32 That's going to be psychologists who study the ways we process, store, and use the information about other people like basically our social world that's not really going to apply to a projective personality test because that's not going to tell you it might tell you something about their social outlook but it's not going to tell you it's not going to be the main tool for social for social cognitive psychologists so it's not going to be a then we have b trait psychologists trait psychologists are going to be this one's pretty self -explanatory it's going to be basically like analysis of people's traits.

02:13 People's traits as a reflection of their emotions, as a reflection of their processes, all of that.

02:20 And then basically how does that affect their life? how did their various traits affect them? once again, could be potentially applicable to a projective personality test, but it's probably not going to be the ideal tool to measure trait psychology...
