A questionnaire on which people respond to items designed to gauge a wide range of feelings and behaviors.

• A. Personality
• B. Projective test
• C. Psychodynamic theory
• D. Personality inventories

Answer: (D)

A set of items in a questionnaire that covers a wide range of feelings and behaviors is a personality inventory. These tools are designed to measure many different traits or aspects of personality through self-report items, giving a broad profile of an individual. Think of well-known inventories like those measuring the Big Five traits or clinical inventories like the MMPI—each uses a large number of questions to capture diverse facets of personality.

The other options don’t fit as well. A projective test uses ambiguous stimuli (like pictures or inkblots) to elicit responses that reveal unconscious processes, not a straightforward questionnaire across many domains. A psychodynamic theory is a framework for understanding how personality develops and operates, not an instrument for measuring multiple traits. Simply saying “personality” describes the domain rather than the specific measurement tool described in the prompt.
