The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) uses open-ended story prompts and ambiguous images to reveal unconscious desires, conflicts, and motivations. It can be useful in detecting unconscious resentment towards an authority figure such as a father. The MMPI-2 is a personality inventory used to assess psychopathology and may not be as specific to detecting an unconscious resentment towards a father. The CPI is a self-report inventory used to assess personality traits and may not tap into unconscious resentment. The Rorschach is a projective test using inkblots to assess personality, but it may not be as specific to detecting unconscious resentment toward a particular individual.
