Which of the following is NOT an example of a projective personality test?

a. Rorschach Inkblot Test
b. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
c. House-Tree-Person (HTP)
d. Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2)

The correct answer is: d. Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2)

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) is indeed not an example of a projective personality test. Projective tests, like the Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), and House-Tree-Person (HTP), require individuals to respond to ambiguous stimuli, allowing them to project their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas onto the responses. In contrast, the MMPI-2 is a standardized, objective personality assessment that consists of a series of true/false statements designed to measure psychological conditions and personality characteristics. It is structured and uses a fixed format that generates scores based on specific scales, rather than relying on the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli. This fundamental difference in methodology and purpose is what distinctly separates the MMPI-2 from projective tests, making it the correct answer to the question.
