Abstract

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) is a projective technique of personality, as well known as the Rorschach Test. But the original pictures are not suitable for Chinese, and the operation is too complex, it's scoring is not objective enough, it's reliability and validity is not satisfactory, and there is no standard norm, so it is difficult to popularize it for clinical use, Therefore there is no special research using this test in China.

In order to improve the original TAT; First the TAT tool was revised to suit Chinese cultural pattern; Second, the technique from structuralism to image-selecting was developed, in order to make the TAT-RC become a handy projective technique, and easy to be popularized. Through the research, the TAT-R.C has now certain reliability and validity, and it's norm (ZHEJIAN) has been established.
