This is a review of findings from four recent surveys on use of clinical tests in the United States, The Netherlands, Japan, and Hong Kong. The preliminary analysis indicates that projective techniques are popular in the assessment of personality worldwide. Obviously, projective tests are 'universal' in that unstructured stimuli serve as the basis for assessment and do not pose a language barrier. Also, reliance on projective methods may reflect problems in access to adequately translated and standardized objective tests. More data are needed from developed countries before firm conclusions on the international status of projective techniques can be affirmed.
这是一篇对美国、荷兰、日本和中国香港近期四项关于临床测试使用情况调查结果的综述。初步分析表明，投射技术在全球人格评估中很受欢迎。显然，投射测试具有“通用性”，因为非结构化刺激作为评估的基础，不存在语言障碍。此外，对投射方法的依赖可能反映出在获取充分翻译和标准化的客观测试方面存在问题。在对投射技术的国际地位得出确凿结论之前，还需要从发达国家获取更多数据。
