Answer: A projective test

Step-by-step explanation:

A projective test is known as a personality test to show how an individual respond to large stimuli, with the aim of revealing hidden emotions. It uses out unconscious reaction to paint an image of ourselves. In phycological terms, what Anna does is a projective test, because the story she's telling displays her unconscious thought, where projective test tends to evoke response that would reveal the person's personality by projecting the individual behavior pattern.
