Dear Babanaresh and Arun Prasad,
It’s commonly knows as picture story writing. There are series of cards having pictures (ambiguous test material) on them, which are given one by one to the subject... The subject is asked to see the picture and describe 1. What is happening in the picture 2 How could that event have taken place or what paved the way for the event. 3. What are the characters in the picture feeling and thinking? 4. What was the end result / conclusion? .There is no right or wrong answers for this. It helps a lot in bringing out a person’s attitude towards self and others as well as his or her perspective of the world including interpersonal relationships. Not only the content is interpreted but other aspects are as well noted like the tone in which was conveyed, did the subject get anxious in giving reply to certain pictures etc. Normally, TAT is supported by other tests or interviews in evaluating an individual. We use the Indian adaptation of TAT. The administration time is usually one and half hours to two hours.
Regards,
Shalini
