Experience over a generation with the use of projective techniques in field research has demonstrated that, where tests – particularly a battery of diversified tests- have been carefully selected and competently administered, projective materials can make a significant contribution to culture analysis – to our understanding of cultural configurations and in some cases, to the delineation of cultural personality. More specifically, they can heighten our awareness of cultural personality. More specifically, they can heighten out awareness of cultural style and, thus, our understanding of aspects of cultural communications systems.
