Abstract
- This article focuses on a proposed system for scoring Thermatic Apperception Test (TAT). This paper is an attempt to outline a similar type of objective scoring to be used as a frame of reference for interpreting the TAT. This system is based on first, scaling each story for a certain type of predominant mood, chief worry, press, and ending; second, computing frequency of each of the scales; third, interpreting the meaning of the frequencies; and finally, over-all qualitative interpretation. A problem peculiar to TAT scoring and interpretation has been the distinction between manifest content and what is symbolic implication, or latent content.
