Answer
(E) psychoanalytic
Spoiler
Explanation
A psychoanalyst would be most likely to use a projective test since such measures
supposedly allow the person taking the test to project his or her unconscious thoughts onto the stimuli. Trait theorists might ask the person to fill out a personality inventory such as Cattell’s 16 PF. Behaviorists would monitor the person’s behavior. Social-cognitive theorists might use both self-report inventories and behavioral measures. A humanistic psychologist would also use self-report techniques and watch someone’s behavior. However, this psychologist might also want to talk to the person using an unstructured interview approach in order to get a fuller sense of the person.
