Introduction Psychological testing is a very crucial process in the implementation of effective interventions. According to American Psychology Association (2003), psychological testing entails the use of specific psychological tests to measure variables in a standardized and objective manner. The objective variables that are normally measured using the psychological tests include individual behaviors and performance on various tasks. For example, psychological testing may entail the use of particular test instrument to determine the personality of an individual. In order to conduct psychological tests, different instruments are applied to measure the variables. The selection of the test instruments depends on the variable that is intended to be measured and the projected test scores. According to Krishnamurthy et al. (2004), psychological testing forms an integral component of educational and clinical psychology. Since the start of the contemporary psychology, there have significant advancements in the psychological testing. The following paper explores the various dimensions of psychological testing in relation to personality tests, an instrument for measuring personality will be analyzed in order provide in-depth understanding of the psychological testing. Objective and Projective Terms Since the evolution of the contemporary psychology, personality tests have been categorized as projective or objective. However, Meyer and Kurtz (2006) argued that the terms have been dichotomously used. As a result, there is the need to retire the historical use of the terms and adopt alternatives. The term objective is normally used to classify a test; it denotes the instrument’s accuracy in describing the personality of an individual who is being tested. The test of the person may entail the application of response options provided in a test. For instance, in a test, the personality may be given as true versus false options. Meyer and Kurtz (2006) stated that the only objectivity in such a process is that the psychologist administering the test does not rely on his judgment to classify or interpret the response provided by the client. The implication is that the test taker bears the judgment responsibility based on evaluating herself compared to others and establishes how a particular character being probed fits her personality. Essentially, the test taker is given the chance to decide; thus, the objectivity is based on the honesty of the test taker. The term ‘projective’ is used to denote the application of the test instruments that depend on a stimulus. The stimulus is applied to the person taking the test in order to produce answers. The guidance is external and should be minimal to influence the nature of the response being given by the test taker. The Problems with the Terms The use of the terms projective and objective in the test instruments and methods results in meaning that is not clear. In addition, Meyer and Kurtz (2006) stated that the generated meanings are subject to misleading connotations. As noted by Meyer and Kurtz (2006), the term objective is used to denote accuracy and precision because the psychologist administering the test does not influence the respondent’s an
