Projective techniques are often used in market research to help uncover findings
in areas where those researched are thought to be reluctant or unable to expose
their thoughts and feelings via more straightforward questioning techniques.
However, how the findings from projective techniques are analysed and how
valid and reliable they are is hardly touched on at all in the market research
literature. This paper aims to open this subject up for further discussion and
recommends further research into the reliability and validity of projective
techniques.
