If you went to a Phrenologist to have your personality tested, how would the expert perform the test?
  1. A paper and pencil test
  2. A projective test (pictures)
  3. An unstructured oral Q & A test
  4. Examine the bumps on your head
Explanation
Answer: D - A Phrenology expert would test your personality by studying the bumps on your head. It was widely used in the 1800’s but is still used today - primarily by pseudo-psychologists. In the 1800’s, a respected person would carefully measure and examine your skull. Then you would be given a psychological profile of your unique qualities and characteristics. Phrenologists used a phrenology chart to determine which personality traits were associated with bumps on different areas of the skull.
