Abstract
``Weak'', ``protective'', and ``delayed observation'' measurements are analyzed in the framework of the Bohm interpretation of quantum theory. It is argued that the above varieties of measurements manifest some difficulties of the Bohm interpretation since they show that Bohmian trajectories behave not as we would expect from a classical type model.
