    Assessment Techniques
    Subjective techniques of personality

    The Subjective Methods are those in which the individual is


    permitted to disclose what he knows about himself as an object of
    observation.
    They are based on what the subject himself has to say about his
    traits, attitudes, personal experiences, aims, needs and interests.
    Some of the important subjective methods are:

    (1) The autobiography,

    (2) The case history,

    (3) The interview, and

    • (4) The questionnaire or the inventory.


    Autobiography
    • The autobiography is a narration by the individual, given either
    freely or according to certain subject headings provided by the
    examiner, of his experiences throughout life, of his present aims,
    purposes, interests and attitudes.
    • The subject has freedom in selecting experiences which are of
    significance to him and these reveal his personality.
    The case history
    • The case history is dependent to a great or less extent upon the
    autobiography.
    • In a case history, we integrate the information that we obtain
    from various sources about the individual.
    • This method is more useful in understanding the personality-
    patterns of an individual who is a problem or is maladjusted.
    The interview
    • The interview is the most common method of judging personality.
    • The interviewer questions or lets the individual speak freely so as
    to get a clear picture of the individual.
    • From what he says, the interviewer knows about his interests,
    problems, assets and limitations.
    The questionnaire or The inventory
    • Questionnaires are a series of printed or written questions which
    the individual is supposed to answer. Ordinarily, the subject is
    expected to answer each question by checking or encircling or
    underlining ‘yes’ or ‘no’ provided against the question
    • The questions or statements provided describe certain traits
    emotions, attitudes or behaviours in situations revealing
    personality. The yes’s or no’s are counted in certain groups or
    sections depending on the traits to be indicated by positive or
    negative answers.
