A relatively unstructured, yet standard, situation to which a testee is asked to respond, but with as few restrictions as possible upon the mode of response. ... It is postulated that, since the situation and directions do not specify the response, one's enduring propensities, or one's current mood, will determine the response. Inkblots, cloud pictures, cartoons, vaguely defined pictures ... have been used as materials. Test responses are usually analyzed for personality characteristics, but they may also reveal certain modes of cognition. 2, record 1, English, - projective%20test
