Hi Durga,
Sorry for a late reply !! :roll:
Basically most psychological tests can be sorted into three general categories :
1) Tests in which the subject performs some specific tasks , such as writing an assay or answering a multiple -choice items etc.
2) tests dat involve observations of the subject's behaviour within a particular context.
3) Self report measures , in which the subject describes his/her feelings , attitudes , beliefs , interests and the like .
Now , many personality inventories can be regarded as self-report tests. This category also includes a variety of surveys , questionaires and polls . A number of masurements technique contain features of both behavior observation and self reports. For eg, interviews may include questions dealing with respondents thoughts, opinions or feelings .
The two methods may not always yield conclusions - person who describes himself or herself as timid and withdrawn may nevertheless exhibit aggressive behavior in a variety of settings .Howevr, the two techniques will often yield comparable and complementary information about the individual.
Hope this provides some input as to how n why self report measures are imp in personality testing but a later validation of these reports should be done later by probing and observation during interview, specially in pre-selection assessment.
Anything else .. plz lemme kno..i'l be more dan glad to help! :D
