Questions: Self-report personality tests Multiple Choice directly ask people whether specific items describe their personality traits. rely on a professional's diagnosis or opinion. determine people's personality based on behavioral observation. ask the test taker to interpret ambiguous stimuli.

The answer is directly ask people whether specific items describe their personality traits.

This is the correct answer. Self-report personality tests typically involve individuals responding to a series of questions or statements about themselves. These responses are then used to assess their personality traits. Examples of such tests include the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI).

This option describes a clinical assessment or diagnosis rather than a self-report personality test. In clinical settings, professionals may use their expertise to diagnose personality traits or disorders based on interviews and observations.

This option refers to observational methods, where a person's behavior is monitored and analyzed to infer personality traits. This is not the same as self-report tests, which rely on individuals' own descriptions of their traits.

This option describes projective tests, such as the Rorschach Inkblot Test or the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), where individuals interpret ambiguous stimuli. These tests are designed to uncover underlying thoughts, feelings, and personality traits, but they are not self-report tests.
