Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
What is Thematic Apperception Test:
It consists of a series of pictures of relatively vague scenes with no clear meaning to what it is and the person tested is requested to make up stories about what they see in the picture and what they think is going to happen. The test protocol provides the examiner with a rich source of data, based on the subject's perceptions and imagination, for use in the understanding of the subject's current needs, emotions, and conflicts, both conscious and unconscious.
It is widely used with the Rorschach test to determine the personality of the person, through the imaginations and fantasies he/she derives from the images shown.
