Talk:Thematic Apperception Test

Dissertation Research?

Is the inclusion of disseration research in the criticism section warranted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.181.195.56 (talk) 19:01, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

robin cook

i can't remember the name of the novel, but there was a robin cook book about a doctor whose boy is an evil genius with his own laboratory who slowly poisons his brother and another family member. the boy was given a thematic apperception test which he responded to several images shown in the book.

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_(novel) here it is 173.32.146.219 (talk) 02:00, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Are the pictures used in the TAT copyrighted? Is there any way we could post them to help illustrate this article as it hinges so much on the imagery? Infilms 08:28, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

"There is also a British and a Roman School." - What on earth is this statement supposed to mean? Even within context it is terse to the point of being meaningless.

I agree with the above, I was confused by that statement. Also, for the popular culture section, I'm not 100% if it's the same test but in A_Clockwork_Orange_(film) after the doctors "fix" him, isn't it a TAT that the female nurse gives him? Maybe only one of the cards was of a situation that he was asked to describe, I can't exactly remember, hopefully someone can clarify. --Wes (talk) 18:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Title case

This article's title appears in violation of WP:NAME. Any special reason why we are not adhering to it? Garycompugeek (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

My reading (and I may be wrong) of this convention is that a subject that is conventionally referred to with all the words of its title capitalised should also be named that way in Wikipedia (the examples given are John Wayne and Art Nouveau). A quick Google search suggests that this subject fits the same pattern - the TAT when fully spelled out is almost always rendered as Thematic Apperception Test.

Yes that is the exception. Thankyou. Garycompugeek (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the official name at meshb.nlm.nih.gov is Thematic Apperception Test, so I think that's how it should appear here. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:25, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Criticisms

I was intrigued by the 2005 study referred to in the criticisms section and wonder if someone who knows this field could help to put these words "... reproducing a Bellak 10 card set photographically and performing an outcome study" into everyday language, or could rephrase them in a way that links to other articles, so that a lay reader can make sense of what is clearly an interesting point? Hugh Mason (talk • contribs 15:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

This article is filled with vague and sometimes false information, mostly regarding the different uses of the test in different countries and regarding different theoretical approaches... (ie : in France, a very specific - psychodynamic - approach of the T.A.T. was developped by D.Anzieu and V.Shentoub, using the concept of object relationship in a very specific way) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.172.160.62 (talk) 18:35, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Flowers For Algernon

In the book Flowers for Algernon, Charlie does take a TAT, but it is vague, and he comments that stories are lies, and he will not lie about people he has never met. The section is page four, Progress Report 4. Also, is the aspect of the story about the Rorschach relevant? I think that it can be removed. WGE1 (talk) 20:20, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Thematic Apperception Test/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

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. 24.17.180.126 18:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
