Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Formal personality assessment techniques consist of both structured personality instruments (e.g. questionnaires, rating scales) and projective techniques (e.g. Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test) and are conducted in a controlled, standardized environment. These techniques are often used in clinical or research settings to gain insight into an individual's personality traits, behaviors, and emotions.
