Picture No. 9 (for Factor Ist)
Story :—Miss Seema Barnwal a first year student of
B.Tech. of Babu Banarsi Das Engineering College got shocked
when she received a telephonic message that her elder brother
could not clear the IInd semester of B.Tech. 4th year from BHU
Varanasi. She took three days permission and reached Varanasi
on next morning. She analysed the situation/ condition around
and found that her brother has left/lost the academic interest
wasting time in seeing movies, gossiping with different group
of friends and smoking and drinking upto late night. She met
her project teacher, sought consent to help her. She further met
with his routine group of friends and requested them to withdraw from him. Further she accompanied
her brother to the project teacher and got him thoroughly counselled. She stayed with him for three
days, rescheduled his daily routine and made him habituated with three days of stay. This got her
brother further on right track.

Psychological evaluation of Story No. 9—The psychological demand of the system is that there
should be logical connection between the situation and the point of start. The situation is a girl and boy
is in face to face situation. The girl is more serious than the boy. It is being revealed that the girl’s face
is reflecting something serious from her facial index and the boy is silently standing but was not able to
collect the guts to face the girl. The second demand of the system is that TAT demands your ability of
‘Intellectual Imagination’ as this is the test of your imagination and imagination is the product of your
mind.
“Strength of your imagination depends on the strength of your imagining power. You imagine (and
explore perhaps) what led to the situation ? What is going on ? And what would be the outcome of the
situation ? You imagine the mission for the hero, resources needed to achieve the task. Plan and
manoeuvre till the achievement of the aim. ‘How far your imagination has travelled from the obvious’
is the most important consideration for your assessment.”

A candidate whose span and depth of imagination is limited to the obvious can not make a mark. Favourable
impression can be casted by convincing the assessor of your span and depth of imagination.
