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.

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.
