Good work!

The third paragraph tells us about the opinions of other psychologists who believe that projective tests provide a more thorough evaluation of personality.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]In the second paragraph, the author expresses his or her objections to the use of objective tests. The third paragraph presents the opinion of those who support the use of projective tests, one possible alternative to objective tests. However, an objection to one type is not the same as an embrace of another type.

[[snippet]]The fourth paragraph expresses the author's disagreement with the opinion expressed in the third paragraph (that of other psychologists).
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]The author's recommended course of action (to use any kind of personality test while remaining aware of their weaknesses) cannot be based on the opinion of others who support wholeheartedly the use of one type of test over another.
Moreover, these other psychologists are not wary of projective tests' flaws, whereas the author specifically states that any personality test should be used with the caveat that the therapist be aware of the limitations of each test.
