All of the following are examples of objective personality tests EXCEPT:

  1. a. California Psychological Inventory, Form 434

  2. b. Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, 3rd Edition

  3. c. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

  4. d. Sentence Completion Tests

The correct answer is: d. Sentence Completion Tests

The correct answer is that Sentence Completion Tests are not examples of objective personality tests. Objective personality tests are standardized assessments that use fixed response options, such as multiple-choice or true/false formats, allowing for easy scoring and interpretation. These tests aim to minimize the subjectivity involved in the assessment process. Sentence Completion Tests, on the other hand, are projective techniques. They require individuals to complete sentences based on their own feelings and thoughts, which allows for a broader range of responses and greater subjective interpretation. This indeterminate nature makes them distinct from objective tests, which rely on specific responses that can be quantified and analyzed systematically. In contrast, the California Psychological Inventory, the Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (3rd Edition), and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator all provide structured response formats that align with the characteristics of objective personality assessments. These tools assess various dimensions of personality using standardized methods, thereby contributing to their classification as objective tests.
