INTRODUCTION
It is one of the effective methods of projective techniques used by the psychologist in order to reveal a great deal's of one's personality .The technique employed is that in the interpretation of an ambiguous situation a person will reveal hidden aspects of his thoughts .From this interpretation of the individual an appraisal of his personality is measured .The intentions of the test is to ask the candidate to give an appreciation of his own qualities without being consious to it being a very short time But in its wider sense ,it means attributing to the external world any quality of the self.
Thematic appreciation test consist of series of standard pictures which are shown to the candidate for a short time and his thoughts and reactions are collected to this stimulus in the form of a story .From this story the assessment of his personality is drawn by the psychologist .
Procedure.
About 12 pictures slides are shown to the candidates in succession .Each slide is kept displayed for 30 seconds and 4 minutes time is given to form a story on the basis of the picture shown to the candidate .Every picture shown has a reaction which gives base to the story .Story is nothing but its the candidates reaction to the stimulus .The story provides valuable clues about the emotional attitude and temperamental make up .
RULES
1)11 pictures+one blank story .
2)Time -30 seconds for the projection of the picture and 3-4 minutes for writing the story.
Technique
There are two characters in the story one is the main character of the story that is the hero and other are the characters that play the supporting role or helping role .
Story should have three parts -
1What led to the situation?
2)What is happening at the moment ?
3)What is the final outcome ?
In the opening part ,a need or problem or challenge is presented and along with the identification of the hero the aim of the hero is given .In this part it is told whether the hero is a college student ,an officer or an buisnessman and what he has to do .It should be given in 2-4 lines of the story .
The middle part is the most important of all .In this part all the actions of the hero are given .The efforts or steps he takes ,the methods he adopts and his journey to achieve the aim ,all these things are given in this part .This part reflects the picture that means what is shown to the candidate .A candidate must write much more in this part to what is happening at the moment .
The end part reflects the final outcome .It shows the result of hero's efforts and the level of satisfaction as he is satisfied to serve the country .It can definetly define the future of the hero in one or two lines .
KEEP IN MIND
1)There is no villain in the story.
2)Hero should lead the story ,side characters are just good followers .
3)Do not give any heading or title to the story.
4)Handwriting should be legible .
5)Convert a negative picture into positive one .
6)Do not describe what you see in the picture but express your thoughts that come your way .
