Story of this aspect will reveal all the above ‘5’ qualities but a story does not become desirable
unless it takes support of other qualities from remaining three factors. Let us see how it is happening.
Interpretation and Evaluation—Introduce the hero directly like this : Capt. Deepak was posted to
Kupwara Sector of J&K where heavy infiltration was being carried on. On the wireless message from
his commanding officer he undertook the task, took 10 men, well equipped with latest weapons. It was
the difficult weather of Dec. 2007 and he along with his men on the basis of stock position passed by
the intelligence.” Now this is the body part which requires your planning, organisation, deployment of
resources and the execution of the same. Give specification of deployment like this, that he deployed 3
men behind a rock, two men on the tree, further 4 men for confronting the firing and he along with one
man kept on checking and sensing the deployment. Men at all the positions were told to wait till further
order. He ordered his men to remain alert and he himself made the announcement to surrender but it
could not become possible as there was no response. Within next moment he and his men had a narrow
escape from enemy’s firing. He messaged all deployed men to remain silent. With the persistent firing
of half an hour he finally sensed the direction and ordered his men to open the fire. The cross firing
continued for 6 hours having a silence in between. At the 7th hour firing became silent and all the 7
infiltrators were killed.
Neither I myself nor any psychologist will suggest you to follow a copy write and imitate his
planning. Take the idea and develop your planning according to your capacity and leadership qualities
which you possess because leader or hero in your story means your alter ego, your deployed
commander, hero means indirectly you. Hero means a person similar to your age, sex and mood who
can represent you 100%.
This is the reason psychologist before the commencement of TAT test issues/gives instruction that
gentlemen please write a story do not merely describe the picture and do not write borrowed stories,
filmy stories or stories taken/derived from the serials, books and novels as it will create a distance and
your qualities will never be reflected.
Daleep coming to your story firstly, you have prolonged the introduction including unwanted
details. Long introduction becomes the life history, career history and the impression management
about the hero. No, not at all, never required. What is required is only, always and every time a hero’s
identification, not the detail or life history of the hero which you have been writing. Therefore you have
consumed too much time and space in identifying the hero. See Daleep, time and space both are limited
and please try to understand the quality should not suffer because of the quantity and the quantity
should not suffer because of the quality.
The quality should not suffer because of the quantity and the quantity should not suffer because the quality.
Daleep coming to the focal point of your story that is body part or the crisis management which in
the language of TAT is known as what is going on ? or what is happening ? or what the situation is ? In
this part you have tried to do well while writing that “while patrolling Deepak saw some foot prints
leading towards the border. He engaged the local people who told him.” Till this stage story is some
what desirable, but Daleep while proceeding further you have committed a blunder while inducting the
smuggling situation in the main crisis. Please try to understand that TAT is the purely test of your
imagination and imagination is the practical application of your scientific principles and the imagination
only and always travels on the vehicle of information.
TAT is the purely test of your imagination and imagination is the practical application of your scientific
principles and finally and only imagination travels on the vehicle of information that too always and every time.
In the body part when the story was reaching to its crisis part you have inducted the situation of
smuggling that goes against your imagination. Please see how ? and why ?
Daleep answer my question again. Is it the job of an army officer to check and catch/nab the
smugglers ?. Practically it is the job of B.S.F. if the smuggling is being carried at the border area
otherwise this becomes the nature of job of a police officer or the police department, C.B.I., I.B., L.I.U.
etc. The question mark goes against your imagination, observation and perception. Therefore finally
