What are the key problems associated with these classifications, and how do Meyer and Kurtz
(2006) suggest addressing these issues in the future? Additionally, describe the implications of
their recommendations for modern personality testing, particularly in the context of
psychometric research and validation.
Your answer should be well-organized, thoroughly address the key points, and reference relevant

Introduction:
Personality test are always considered to be a very important way to assess how
people are how they work and what should be the right kind of setting that brings out the best in
people. This is a very important social sector input which makes way for learning environment in
society and workplace. Personality involves many different traits in people and a study of these
traits would pay the way for understanding how such people contribute to negative to positive
incentives in society and workplace. There are innumerable personality teats which have their
own ways of classification based on set parameters. The concept of personality assessment and
test classification is shifting says Meyer and Kurtz (2006)
They believe that the concept has now shifted and to assess personality it is
important to adopt the process based framework for classifying personality tests. The authors
felt that everyone undergoes some psychological processes when they respond to test stimuli.
This becomes an attribution where the response is to both types of measures. Those that were
previously "objective “are now known as self-attribution tests, and those formerly classified as
"projective" tests are labeled stimulus-attribution tests.( Meyer and Kurtz (2006)
1. The historical use of the terms objective and projective to classify a personality test, and the
problems with such classification.
Every personality test historically used the pattern objective which typically referred
to an instrument which could be set on specific responses like yes and no , true or false or
clarification on a Likert scale. This sort of objective classification was either an adjective like
being descriptive or a proportion or a question which elicited specific answers and hence became
