Explanation:

Projective tests are intended to uncover feelings, desires, and conflicts that are hidden from conscious awareness

The goal of such tests is to uncover the hidden conflicts or emotions that one project onto the test with the hope that these issues can then be addressed through psychotherapy or other appropriate treatments
