Psychology Test : Blank Slide

Dear Friends ,

You know it very well that in TAT the last slide is the blank slide. You have to write a story by your own imagination. You can write anything. Generally aspirants start practising at their home. That I will write this story or that story. Most of the candidates write on their past achievements like if they have done something heroic or  any such incident on which felt proud.

Have you ever imagined why they show you a  blank Slide? I mean they can also tell you to write any story without showing blank slide , what is the use of showing that slide. They also tell you that - last slide will be blank and whatever you perceive by that slide you can write according to that.

DO NOT PRACTICE AT YOUR HOME FOR WRITING ANY STORY FOR THE BLANK SLIDE.

After 11 slides when they will show you the blank slide then write what you perceive from the blank slide. You might be confused. How can a person perceive from a blank slide? but we all perceive , we write very different stories on the blank slide. Before writing for blank slide please think for a second that what you are writing is truly you perceived from that slide..? Doesn't psych will  come to know that what you are writing is a your ready-made , home-made story? 

Generally a common mind reflects a very similar image of the previous slide( 11th one). For example consider that in the 11th slide you got a picture of a dense forest and 2 men standing near a tree. you wrote your story on that. Now the next is blank slide. Now what you should perceive must be little similar to the previous image( dense forest and men) . 

But few start writing anything. Ready-made,Home -made story. I am not saying that your 12th story must be same as  your 11th story but show a little similarity, for example if my 11th slide is of forest then I can write on hills or gardens or environment etc..

Be realistic while writing your story, keep away from superman , spider man, and Saboo. Do not bring their attributes and features in your story. Practice a lot of writing on diversified topic but always think and write realistic stories.

  2. Dear Rohan and Abhi. No one knows the reason of their selection and rejection. At any point of time do not ever think that if you will follow this process or that process then you will get selected. Your selection or rejection will be based on cumulative performance.

  3. I don't understand this. Why should there be a similarity of prior to slide only, why not of other slides.
