Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
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.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A.
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- B.
) Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- C.
(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- D.
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Correct answer: A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). Projective techniques assess personality indirectly through ambiguous stimuli, while self-descriptive inventories rely on direct self-reporting. The Reason accurately describes the mechanism of self-descriptive inventories, thereby explaining why they differ from projective techniques.
