Howard's psychologist asks him to take a personality test. The test consists of a series of standardized multiple-choice items. The test also includes a section where Howard is asked to rate himself on a series of scales. It is most likely that this is a(n) :

A) projective test.
B) objective test.
C) Rorschach test.
D) humanist test.

The use of multiple-choice items and standardized scales indicate that this is an objective test, which is designed to measure specific traits or personality characteristics in a standardized and quantitative manner. Projective tests, on the other hand, use ambiguous stimuli to elicit personality traits, while the Rorschach test is a specific type of projective test that uses inkblots. There is no such thing as a "humanist test."
