The chief defect of the objective survey is that management prepares the questionnaires and provides the alternatives answer. it does not give much chance to employee to express themselves in their own ways and in the process the response may hide rather than reveal their own true feelings.

The main advantages of objective survey is that they are easy to administer and can be analyzed statistically. 1.

The question for example may be what you think of the company leave rules in this manner the management determines the list of items to be covered. The employees have a greater freedom of expression in undirected questioning the employees may discourse the feelings. Which came to this mind at the moment an example of undirected question is what are some of the things you like most about your job? The descriptive survey may be undertaken either through an individuals interview or through a group discursion. 2. Projective survey: - These types of survey are personality problems developed by psychiatrists and psychotic for studying their emotional stability an mental health these are not used for general survey they are rarely used in professional counseling of individuals with special problems.
