The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective psychological test. It was created in the 1930s by psychologists Henry Murray and Christiana Morgan at Harvard University. The test involves a series of ambiguous pictures, and the person taking the test is asked to create a story about each picture. The stories are then analyzed by a clinician to understand the person's needs, motivations, and conflicts. It's based on the idea that people will project their own unconscious feelings and desires onto the ambiguous images.
