Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective test that uses ambiguous pictures to elicit stories that reveal the test-taker's unconscious thoughts, motivations, and themes. Therefore, the correct answer is B, ambiguous pictures. The other options such as incomplete sentences, meaningless inkblots, and unfamiliar melodies are all characteristics of other projective tests such as the Rorschach test, Sentence Completion Test, or Music Apperception Test.
