Dubious Assessments
|
| Anatomicaly
Detailed Dolls |
| Anatomically-detailed dolls (ADD), or anatomically correct
dolls as they are also known, are used in therapy, sexual abuse
cases, courtroom testimony and sex education. They are like
regular dolls except for the addition of anatomically correct
private areas. |
| Meyers-Briggs
Type Indicator |
| MBTI is a personality assessment developed by Isabel Briggs
Myers and her mother, Katherine Cook Briggs. Their aim was to
create a tool to indicate, validate, and put to practical use
C.G. Jung's work on psychological types. It is quite easy to
find websites that for a small fee will let you take an assessment
similar to MBTI online. |
| The
Rorschach Inkblot Test |
| The Rorschach Inkblot Test consists of 10 cards, each containing
symmetrical inkblots, some in color and some in black and white.
Developed by psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach in 1921 as a tool
for personality assessment, it is still used today by clinical
psychologists in any number of settings including schools, courts
and clinics. |
