Answer 1

C. Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Thematic Apperception Test or TAT is a projective test that is used in psychology.

The TAT involves showing people different scenes with people on them and they are asked to tell what is happening in these scenes. The person has to make a story about what is happening in the scenes, telling what happened before, what is happening now and what will happen after.

The complete version of the test has 31 cards showing people in different ambiguous situations. (Two of them are shown below)

In this example, Antonia just learned how to score a projective test that has black-and-white drawings of people in various situation, since the test is projective and it shows people in drawings, it must be the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

Answer 2

C Thematic Apperception Test (TAT).

Step-by-step explanation:

The TAT is an common test that employ ambiguous drawings in black and white as a stimuli to evoke a response that will make a personality trait to be easily identified.

The effectiveness of these tests lays on the character of ambiguity that is present since internal attitudes and individual traits are projected upon the elements present in the test.

The Thematic Apperception Test was created in the 1930s by Henry A. Murray, and it was widely used for many employers, therapists, and teachers.

The methods make subconscious dynamics be revealed.

The drawings of people in different situations need to be interpreted by the individual who is being evaluated: by doing so he uncovers his inner desires, feelings.
