Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) involves showing participants ambiguous pictures and then asking them to create a story about the picture. This helps the therapist understand the individual's underlying beliefs, emotions, and attitudes towards themselves and others. The TAT is often used to gather information about an individual's personality and potential conflicts or unresolved issues. The other options (A, C, and D) are also projective tests but do not involve ambiguous pictures of people.
