Thematic appreciation test is a projection test in which a candidate is shown up a series of picture on that the candidate has to put up his own individual views(stories).  i.e.  A hazy (unclear) series of 11 + 1 picture are shown to the candidates where the candidate has to write down a story for the picture.  The 12 th picture is the empty picture in which the candidate has to imagine a situation and write a story according to that. This is also called as imagination test, as this may be used to stimulate the thoughts of future ambitions etc. i.e. A candidate want to do in his future etc.

    The hazy picture shown may be of different real life situation i.e. a person aged 21 might have come across of different situations in life(easy, social adaptation, extra curricular, adventures, challenging, etc).  These pictures remember the candidates the hidden thoughts.  By these things the psychologist assess the character of the candidate and map these with the PIQ which we filled on the screening day.  Then they make a clear view about our personality. 

     There are about 12 pictures are shown to the candidates in a big auditorium, in which 11 are hazy one i.e. not clear which interprets different views for different persons and the last one is empty picture.  There fore totally 12 pictures were shown.  The hazy pictures were shown to us for 30 seconds to think a story and time given to write the story is 3 minutes.

    The picture consists of a hero, different environmental situations, different characters etc.  If there is no hero, then we have to create a hero of our age
