Answer 2

Answer:

D. Thematic Apperception Test(TAT).

Explanation:

This is a form of test in which the subjects involved in it are been asked to tell a story explaining what is happening in the picture including the events that led up to the scene, what is happening in the scene, what each of the characters is thinking or feeling, and what happens next.

Here, the complete version of the TAT includes 31 picture cards depicting a variety of ambiguous social scenes that may include men, women, and also maybe children. Many practitioners today utilize

a lot of cards which ranges between 5 and 12 of such cards, often selected because the examiner feels that the scene matches the client's needs and situation.
