The correct answer is a projective test.

Projective tests refer to personality tests that involve discussing one's interpretations and thoughts of ambiguous and random stimuli such as inkblots, patterns, pictures, etc., in order to uncover hidden aspects, traits, thoughts, emotions and hidden conflicts of a person. A popular projective test is the Rorschach Inkblot Test. Projective tests however are generally low in validity and reliability.
