You can download the Thematic Apperception Test TAT sample pictures set for practice from the links given below. TAT which is also known as the Thematic Apperception Test of SSB is a projective psychological test that has a set of pictures shown to you one by one and expected from you to write a story based on your thinking after watching each individual picture.

Why Thematic Apperception Test?

These pictures originally employed for this purpose were very vague. There was a great play of projection or inner subconsciousness in the interpretation of these T.A.T pictures  Pictures with greater details and needing less play of projection and imagination were introduced by two psychologists, Murray and Margon, who used these in 1903 and the same are generally in use in India. In TAT, the picture used by the SSBs are on the model of Murray’s pictures, but they are almost clear and not hazy. A set of 12 pictures is generally used including one blank slide. A slide of each picture is shown on a screen with the help of a magic lantern for half a minute and the candidates are required to write a story based on the picture in a period of four minutes in the particular space provided on the answer sheet. This test is based on the theory that in the construction or stories around ambiguous pictures, the candidate organizes material from his own personal experiences, partly as a result of the stimulus that he receives i.e. what he finds in the picture and partly his associations with such stimuli recalled from his past experiences.

    your hero should be at least within +5or -4 from yours age. And your should be displaying qualities like leadership, determination, stamina , social adaptability, responsibilty. To do this you can give a good designation to your hero such as engineer , doctor , political leader, architect, social reformer.. etc.
