Thematic Apperception Test

Teste de apercepção temática

Thematic Apperception Test is a popular method of psychology assessment which uses Projective Hypothesis Technique. It differs from the more traditional ink-blot tests in that the images used in TAT (Thematic Apperception Test) are not abstract ink-blots but representational figures that are vaguely identifiable by the viewer. These images carry a theme in them. Depending on the viewer’s identification and analysis of the sequence, a psychological map is drawn.
