I am due to take a Personality Test soon. I was asked to choose between the two approaches: Objective or Projective. I am not really that interested on the latter one because my mind often goes blank staring at those pictures, some even abstract ones. Would you please acquaint me with the two approaches. How do they exactly differ and their advantages and disadvantages?

Only advantage of the projective are that they can get to the unconscious emotions/feelings. However, they aren't really reliable. Recently, I believe, the Rorschach Test is no longer allowed to be used in court. It really depends on the test though. Do you know what it's for? Work? Court?

Objective you can distant yourself from the test. Just be yourself.
Projective you become the personalities in the test. It isn't you it is you being the test.
