The Word Association Test is a psychological assessment used to explore a person's thoughts and feelings. In this test, participants are presented with a series of words and asked to respond with the first word that comes to mind. This method helps reveal underlying associations and cognitive patterns. The test is often used in clinical psychology and research to understand personality traits, emotional states, and cognitive processes. It can provide insights into how individuals connect ideas and can be useful in therapeutic settings to facilitate discussions about thoughts and feelings.
