Convergent evidence from flawed methods can still outweigh individual failings.

Evidence

Each study of projective materials was flawed by at least one of these and so there are grounds for dismissing the evidence of each study. My own evaluation differs from that of Hyman and Sheatsley in that I should like to give some weight to the congruence of evidence across the main interviews, TATs, projective questions, and psychiatric interviews. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 647

Categorization

• DEFINE: Illustrates the methodological critique of projectives: interviewer knowledge, scoring category derivation, multi-variable coding from same data, and unreported reliability.
• XREF: Relates to triangulation logic in mixed-methods and to Hyman and Sheatsley’s critique of The Authoritarian Personality that the reader may know from other chapters.
