Projective tests require advanced skills and extensive training beyond that offered in a graduate program.

Projective tests, such as the Rorschach or Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), require specialized training beyond the general graduate education in psychology. This training includes understanding the underlying principles of projective assessment, administration, scoring, and interpretation. Additionally, it requires a thorough understanding of psychopathology, personality theory, and the use of clinical judgment in interpreting responses. Therefore, advanced skills and extensive training are necessary to competently administer and interpret projective tests.
