Talk:Thematic Apperception Test/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The question I was looking for an answer to is: what does it mean if someone fails the TAT? Not fails as in tells inappropriate stories, but fails as in "Can't do the task. Can't percieve what the task is."

Or, in other words, their answers all amount to: "I have no idea what they're doing or what they did before this. I've never seen them before. It's just a picture. I could make up all kinds of stories. What kind of story do you want? A monster story? A magic story?"

from a 9-year-old who tested 200+ IQ, had fun with all the other psychological and intelligence tests, but ran out of the room crying at this one at their total inability to perceive hidden clues the tester obviously believed were concealed in the picture as to what had REALLY happened to create this particular scene.
