Projective Testing
Projective testing is a method of personality assessment based on the Freudian defense mechanism of projection. It is used to assess unconscious processes by presenting a person with a series of ambiguous stimuli, such as images or incomplete sentences. The individual is then encouraged to project their own feelings, impulses, and desires onto the stimuli by telling a story, interpreting an image, or finishing a sentence.

Projective Testing
A psychologist is considering two different methods to assess a client's personality. Method A involves showing the client a series of ambiguous images and asking them to describe what they see. Method B consists of a questionnaire with 200 true/false questions about the client's personal habits and preferences. Which statement best analyzes the primary distinction between these two assessment strategies?
