Ans 5. Ethinic or anthropoly factors are key factors in juding persoanlity. In some religions, certain ideas, are not liked as well certain ideas are popular. A person's values and ideas are based on such culture to a greater extent. Eg: a person may find another person having same sex partner fair, while other can disapprove it. Similarly gender factors also contribute. Though such factors are minimum compared to earlier. But women may realize hardships in order to maintain work life balance quickly as compared to males.

Projective test is a type of asessment in which a person often responds to ambigious scenes, words or images. The goal of such test is to uncover hidden conflicts or emotions. This is emerged from psychoanalytic school of thought.

Self reporting techniques can be quick and easy. This type of questionnaire can be affordable, it can at times be mroe reliable and valid than projective tests as scoring is standerdized. But at times a person may provide fake answer to the question, some tests are very long and tedious. Projective techniques reveal qualitative information, it can be ice breaker to resolve hidden or emotional issues.Scoring os such techniques is very subjective, as well assesment depends a lot upon examiner's attitude
