How to Write A Story in TAT and PPDT

There should be a match between you and your hero, because the hero is your alter-ego, your deployed leader who should represent you 100%.

Writing a good story in PPDT and Thematic Apperception Test [TAT] is very important as it defines your screening result and psychology test result respectively. Some of you think that even though your story was good, you didn’t get selected. What is the reason behind that? the reason is some of us don’t know what to write and we write what we think is awesome, unfortunately, assessor doesn’t like your story though it was amazing according to you.

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)

The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) gives an opportunity in the form of a Stimulus to the individual to project his personality in terms of free verbal Responses with regard to the pictures, he sees and the plot that he may weave around the picture. It is not a fact based test, rather it is based on opinion, emotions, value and attitude of the person. What color and

combination are given to the story, which aspects are dominated, does the individual show value, emotions, helping attitude, sacrifice, faithfulness with full of challenges, is all seen through this test. For these aspects, one is required to go beyond the obvious. Going beyond the obvious will enhance the imagination process and imagination has no prescriptional limit. It is well said Your Imagination can take you places, which you can’t even imagine!

TAT- What, Why and How? TAT is purely based on your Perception. So far as the definition goes . Perception – It is the process by which individuals organize and interpret their sensory impressions in order to give meaning to their environment.

TAT basically requires you to perceive a Thema or Story. The story requires a Hero, who must face challenges and risk, but should not fail. Depending on the situational crisis, the hero may face the failure for time being, but finally he should succeed. There is no Courage without challenges and risks; there is no Motivation without failure and setbacks.

Basic Requirement In TAT and PPDT Stories

There should be a match between you and your hero, because the hero is your alter-ego, your deployed leader who should represent you 100%. There must be a minimum distance between you and your hero. There should be a similarity between age, sex and character. There may be a possibility of difference in perception, emotions and ability, but not in terms of the achievement. To be precise, your hero’s achievement is the manifest of your own achievement.

Let’s see some TAT and PPDT sample stories:

Sample Picture Shown During PPDT and TAT

Description: It is the picture of a young man pointing out at another person, who is seen running. It is an evening or night scene.
Story:
Due to meager representation of youngsters in the recruitment drive of the Army conducted recently, Suresh Kolte, a sports coach started to train the youngsters of Satana village in Maharashtra. In the month of Feb 12, 2008, he started with one boy. After a week the strength went to five. He scheduled morning and evening hours for exercises/race and day/evening for written preparation leaving 6 to 8 hours for other activities. For the entire Feb month, he made them familiar with written and physical tests. Right from March 1, he made the entire course competitive. He started pointing towards the best one to follow the speed and maintain the time in physical as well as written practice session. In the month of April, out the 5 boys, 4 got selected in the recruitment drive organized by the Army at the Southern Command, Pune. Seeing the results, many youngsters joined the centre and started taking training for the next batch.

Interpretation

The Hero under took the challenge, chose the undriven field in that locality (challenging ability). For the said ability, one has to go beyond the duty, which is sense of responsibility. In most of the case, the sense of responsibility is often dubbed with the risk taking ability, which this hero had. His punctuality, dedication of fixing the schedule and training program reveals his planning and organizing ability. Pointing the best one to be followed by the rest one shows competitive ability and motivation. With his hard work and sacrifice, he creates an exemplary result that would mean leadership by example. Seeing the result, youngsters of neighboring villages got themselves motivated and joined the training centre shows the motivation level and inspiration.

      Please go through the stories written above, your story in not well framed also keep short term goals for a hero, also write something which we face normally in out life, and something which shows your own quality . Making a small town boy a marathon runner in London Olympics is very difficult , so stick to the normal level of thinking and try to show OLQs .

    • I liked your story, your story is matching with the picture, we can assume some actions in the picture though they are not visible in the picture, like you assumed a girl and a man.

      You should not deviate from the picture and avoid writing pre planned stories which are not relevant to the picture at all.

  21. Gud evening sir,first off all i would like to thank you for giving us such an information.
    sir please tell me what should i do to get prepared for TAT.
    like is there any book or something else….
    Thank you…

  22. @harman: i have experienced the same at allahabad when i attended the SSB for UES entry.after analyzing my SSB i came to a decision that coaching manipulated my original thoughts and psycology was horrible.Although coaching helped me somewhat in GTO’s but i thing i was fake at the psycology.And i could have done it excellently if i was not coached for this.

  23. Also remember one thing, While improving yourself, don’t do it with a motive of preparing for the SSB, don’t think about the results. Do it to prepare for you LIFE, for your future and anything and everything you aim for.

  24. @ajay…I am not an expert, but i would like to share my experience with you. I have been to one SSB in allahabad. I took some training before going to the SSB, thinking that it would help me to understand the process and perform better. It did help me to a certain extent but I took a wrong direction last time. My psychology test was horrible. All I did after coming back is introspected and improved. There is a code to crack the SSB, That is improve your thought process. The desired thoughts will lead to desired actions. We all know all the OLQs, but how many of us practice that. We don’t, not because we can’t but because we do not inculcate them in us. Trust me, if your thought process improves rest all will fall in place. Training for SSB is good, but only to know more about your weaknesses. What you do after knowing your weaknesses, is totally upon you. All you need to do is follow a small plan, It may be difficult at start, but you’ll soon realize it works.
    # Introspect,
    # Self realization,
    # Improve, specially your thought process

    Be humble while doing anything, because humility never lets you be over confident.

    Rest use your own discreet and common sense.

  25. a typical question …..y r girls not eligible 2 apply for airforce or naval academy through cds exam however boys can do so ?…i know there r other exams 4navy & airforce…but y not through cdse ??????

  26. @Ajay

    Coaching makes you ready for the test, also its not the assurance of 100% success , but quite help full. And you are support to write such stories shows your quality .

  27. do all our stories connect our psychology or sometimes there comes something conflicting as we continously write 12 stories which sometimes leads to exhaustion cz of which one isn’t able 2write the stories after completeing 6-7 stories..
    i mean in the starting stories candidate seems 2b brave but not in the last stories…

  28. Two brothers ramesh and suresh, after watching first show of cinema are walking back home.Suddenly they heard a blasting sound on the road they are walking.Immediately they ran to the location to see what happened.They saw two motor cars has undergone an accident.Both of them went in a hurry to see how badly the people inside the cars were hurt.After seeing their critical position ramesh asked suresh to go and fetch a doc near by, where as ramesh goes and picks up police near by, as it is an accident and doc will not treat until police comes and sees the situation.Finally both brothers are successful in doing their tasks.The persons who undergone accident given some treatment in that location and taken to hospital.

  29. @Siddharth

    Yes, blank story gives you a chance to express something important, in other words something you remember the most, like a problem you faced and how you tackled it. It could be any story related to you.
