In Thematic Apperception Test or TAT in SSB Psychology Test, candidates are asked to write a story on the situation shown in the TAT pictures. TAT is the first test of the battery of your psychology test, which is purely the test of your imagination power. A total of 11+1=12 pictures will be shown to you on the screen for 30 seconds. The first 11 of these TAT pictures will depict some situation and the last will be a blank one. You are required to write a story on each of these TAT images with in 4 minutes.

WHAT & WHAT NOT TO WRITE IN MY TAT STORIES TO GET RECOMMENDED ?

Please don't describe the picture and also do not write a flimsy story, or the story guided by friends, India's best SSB institute and the books. Through each story for your TAT pictures, you must describe thoughts, feelings, actions and emotions of the character by answering these three basic thematic questions :

1. What led to the situation or what the situation is ?
2. What is going on or what the picture is or what is happening in the picture ?
3. What is the outcome or what the conclusion is or what is the result of that picture ?

DOS AND DON'TS OF TAT & PPDT STORY WRITING

1. Give simple and brief introduction of the hero in your stories without decorating the hero with words like best in studies, best NCC cadet, soft & kind hearted, best in sports etc.

2. Avoid using phrases or expressions like somehow he did it, with his hardworking attitude he completed the job etc. The psychologist at SSB is looking for that actual work or the series of steps that helped him to achieve the goal of your story.

3. Don't think that all 12 pictures in TAT are related to each other or are part of a single story. There is no link between two pictures or situations projected to you.

4. For the black picture i.e., the 12 TAT pictures, you must imagine a situation then and there rather than going with a story prepared beforehand.
