Which of the following set of test directions would most likely accompany a projective test?

Great work!

[[snippet]]

It might seem at first glance that a picture of a person on a farm is not an ambiguous stimulus. However, the words "what you think is happening" tell us that different people could interpret the picture in different ways. Moreover, by creating a story out of a picture, a respondent would be forced to interpret the items in the picture in his or her own way (for example, we do not know whether the person on the farm is a farmer or a visitor).

By following these directions, a respondent would be use their reactions to the picture to make a concrete result (the story), thereby qualifying their reactions to an ambiguous stimulus.

Incorrect.

Incorrect.

This answer choice, although the stimulus involved in it is ambiguous, does not ask the respondent to react to the stimulus itself, but to the process of making it.
