Which assessment specifically involves inkblot interpretations to reveal inner feelings?

• A. Self-Actualization
• B. Rorschach Inkblot Test
• C. Self-Concept
• D. Self-Efficacy

Answer: (B)

Projective assessments use ambiguous stimuli to uncover aspects of personality that might not be accessible through direct questioning. The Rorschach Inkblot Test is a classic example: individuals describe what they see in a series of inkblots, and the clinician analyzes patterns in responses to infer underlying emotions, thoughts, and conflicts. This makes it the best fit for revealing inner feelings through inkblot interpretations. In contrast, self-actualization relates to Maslow’s theory of reaching one’s potential, self-concept is about overall self-perception, and self-efficacy concerns belief in one’s ability to perform tasks; none rely on interpreting inkblots.
