Personality Test 

A personality test helps you understand your behavior, feelings, and thoughts. It asks questions about how you react to different situations or how you feel about certain things. Your answers show what type of person you are, like if you are outgoing, calm, or organized.

Self-Report Inventories:

A self-inventory test helps you learn about your personality by asking you questions about yourself. It looks at things like how you behave, think, and feel in different situations. You answer questions based on how you usually act or feel.

What It Is: You answer questions about yourself, like "I feel nervous in social situations," and choose how much you agree or disagree.
Good Things: It's quick, easy, and the results are clear.

Drawbacks: You might not be fully honest or aware of your own feelings.

Projective Tests:

A projective test helps you explore your hidden thoughts and feelings. It works by showing you pictures or giving you words that don’t have a clear meaning, and you respond by telling a story or saying what you see. Your answers show how you feel or think, often in ways you might not realize.

What It Is: You look at pictures or weird shapes and tell a story or explain what you see. The idea is to reveal hidden feelings or thoughts.

Good Things: It can show deeper, hidden parts of your personality.

Drawbacks: It's harder to score, and people can interpret it differently.

Here are some examples of projective tests:
