What does the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) aim to provide?

  1. A measure of a child's intellectual ability

  2. Assessment of psychopathology

  3. Understanding of the subject's current needs and conflicts

  4. Description of personality features

The correct answer is: Understanding of the subject's current needs and conflicts

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective test that does not measure a child's intellectual ability (A), but rather aims to assess a deeper understanding of their emotional and psychological states. It is also not a direct assessment of psychopathology (B), but rather seeks to uncover underlying conflicts and needs that may contribute to potential psychopathology. While providing descriptions of personality features (D) may be a secondary goal, it is not the main purpose of the TAT. Therefore, understanding the subject's current needs and conflicts (C) is the most accurate explanation for the aim of this test.
