Abstract: 

Personality assessment using projective techniques is aim to assess the personality of a respondents using projective techniques, in early days there were various methods used to assess the personality. Pherenology, Phsiognomy, Pelmistry and astrology were some of the pseudo-scientific methods but these methods of assessment are not at all reliable so the method were discarded. The more reliable and scientific method have been developed later and widely used method was projective techniques for assessing personality. This projective test is used to bring overt conscious behaviour of a person and this attempt to reveal a person’s unconscious repressed wishes. In this study the Post Graduate and doctoral Students of TNAU personality was tested using online test and result were analysed using simple percentage analysis, finally effectiveness of the test is calculated. Revealed that 88.60 per cent respondents felt that test was really useful to them and 85.70 per cent respondents told that the projective technique is really testing the personality of the respondents.
