[humanser] Projective tests?

[MARY CHAPPELL]

Gera,
I am cortically blind and worked with a psychometrician throughout my
training and practical administration of projective instruments. The images
of the TAT,  and other like instrum were vervally described to me by
multiple resources, to insure a broader perspective for my understanding.
This was done for the Rorschack and other tests. I linked description to
item by number and recognized that the greater value was in the
interpretation. Because assessment is multifactorial, I realized that each
instrument was a part, and not the whole, of the interpretive outcome. The
greater part of my skill development was in the interpretation with
administration completed by a secondary. I trained at the Superior Court for
the District of Columbia, with the Armed Forces, and in trauma-specific
environments, as well as with child and adolescent abuse survivors and
adoption and foster care clients. The projective instruments were a
significant in the assessment work. 
That said, I use verbal projectives to substantiate assessment questions
(sentence completion and the like).  When the data from the objective and
projective instruments are considered a fuller, more comprehensive picture
comes forth. I welcome further conversation.

  HI guys, especially Mary whose comment on using projective tests promted
my email: When Istudied Psychology major, I didn't have any contact with
blind psychologists to ask the question of how to adapt, or work with
projective tests? I mean tests like Macover human figure, TAT and others. My
professors didn't know what to do, thus Ionly read the theory and with that
they tested me, but I was never given the chance, or know how to adapt these
tests, thus I got by with only the theory. 
How did you guys, or how do you work with these tests since they're very
visual? I would have really liked to have been in contact in 1998 or 99 with
you guys when I was in this area of my studies! but anyhow never too late to
ask right?
