Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R). In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A):The projective techniques offer an approach to the measurement of the personality, which is different from the self-descriptive inventories.
Reason (R):Self-descriptive inventories require the subject to describe himself/herself while assessing personality.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A ✓ Correct
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct
DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (A) Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
Explanation
Projective techniques do offer a personality measurement approach distinct from self-descriptive inventories, so Assertion A holds.
Reason R correctly states that self-descriptive inventories require the subject to describe himself while assessing personality.
Because self-report is precisely what projective methods avoid, R explains why the two approaches differ.
The both-correct-but-unrelated option fails since a clear contrast links R to A.
Options rejecting A or R misstate the well-known distinction in personality assessment.
The Rorschach inkblot and the Thematic Apperception Test are classic projective techniques.
