Failure and Success in TAT, you will not fail, if you study and practice it—I will take pleasure
again to evaluate and point out that how stories are turned NOT DESIRABLE, INCOMPLETE,
INCONSISTENT. How the CASUAL BEHAVIOUR AND DEFENCE MECHANISM is evaluated or
assessed in TAT and how to overcome it ? For this I am giving, operating, evaluating and interpreting
six stories with context to OLQs (Officers Like Qualities) in the profile of a defence officer.

Picture No. 1, written by Daleep Singh—“Rahul was a
bright student who completed his graduation in law. Right from
his childhood Rahul believed in social work. Rahul saw that the
people in his area were not aware of their rights and duties and
then they suffered a lot from the Zamindars. Rahul arranged
classes for the youth who were taught the rights and duties so that
there was no exploitation. The youth of the village thanked to
Rahul and became aware of their duties and rights and they lived
happily.”
Evaluation of the story written by Daleep Singh—This
story is from factor Ist, which is known as factor intelligence or
the factor organising, which has four qualities—

(1) (2) (3) (4)
Planning and Logical Effective Power of
Organisation Reasoning Intelligence Expression

All the 12 stories are bifurcated according to factor wise. The first picture will be shown from
factor Ist and second picture will be from factor IInd, that is social Adjustment, the third picture will
relate to factor IIIrd, that is leadership aspect and finally the fourth picture will relate to factor IV, that
is factor Dynamic Aspect.
