(6) Task has to be justified by the appropriate level of hindrances, obstacles, hurdles, problems and
risk etc.
(7) Now the important issue is the selection of resources. It is always appropriate for the hero to use
and apply the resources according to the requirement of the situation. The use and the application of the
resources, is direct product of your imagination again and again and more importantly it should be
instrumental to the story.
(8) I want your hero to inculcate and display the will to challenge and skill to perform the task
ahead, atleast at the optimum level.
(9) Hero should have will to lead and skill to perform.
(10) First, your hero should have will to lead, his “WILL” will depend on an attitude, with a
passage of time attitude will develop the will.

Background of the Story—12 stories are projected on the screen, the last one is ‘blank’. If all
the stories are of similar background then your imagination will not have the variety. Psychologist is
interested in variety of stories to find out the pattern of your behaviour. You must be able to solve the
problem of beyond routine. Your intellectual imagination is fashioned by going with the situations
which are beyond routine. Daily life encountered problems are not the requirement of your TAT.
Urgency is the requisite of a crisis leader as urgency qualifies the problem.
What about the Blank Story—(1) To give a chance to your mind to settle down for another test.
In ‘11’ stories your unconscious becomes active as TAT is the test of your imagination and it is an
unconscious test. Therefore without settling down your unconscious we can’t take you to another test.
(2) You have some speciality. You have certain very good quality that you may represent in a blank
story.
(3) Whether blank story should be well prepared or should be imagined on the spot ? There is no
harm if you go well prepared, but it will be better if you imagine on the spot.
(4) Which kinds of story should be written for blank one ? There are certain arised emotions which
could not get opportunity in all the eleven stories. You can project your unprojected emotions in blank
one. The another advice is either career oriented story or whichever aspect you have not been able to
produce in previous stories.
Strength of TAT/Story—Element of desirability must be there. After the completion of the story
conclusion is obvious but your conclusion may not lead to confusion. Conclusion must be striking,
natural and reasonable. Do not write as per the picture or this picture says this or that or I have seen this
or that in the picture. It will mean that you are distancing yourself from the picture and further it will
reveal that you and the picture are the different things.
The aim of the test—The aim of the entire psychological test or the selection system is to find
out the qualities by virtue of that you are able to solve the problem of day to day life. The process of
solving the problem should be the convenient outcome of your personality.
