Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Psychoanalytic.

Explanation:

Projective tests are commonly used instruments intended to establish or evaluate the personality of the individuals to which these tests are applied.

They are based in psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic theory in which they evaluate typically the unconscious motives of the individuals.

As we know, psychoanalytic theory is commonly known by being one of the precursors of the concept of the unconscious, which is a profound part of the psyche to which the individual has no conscious access.

In conclusion, Projective tests, such as the WARTEGG, which are based on the assumption that people have unresolved conflicts are most likely to be used by psychologists adhering to the psychoanalitic perspective.
