It seems that one of my favorite
shows has a scene with the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)....sweet.
I have yet to find the video though :(
Daria and her sister Quinn are given a test that appears to be the TAT
by the school psychologist on their first day at their new school. Daria
and Quinn are shown a picture of two people. Quinn makes up a story about
the two people having a discussion about popularity and dating. Daria
states that she sees "a herd of beautiful wild ponies running free
across the plains." The psychologist tells her the picture is of
two people, not ponies. Daria states, "last time I took one of these
tests they told me they were clouds. They said they could be whatever
I wanted." The psychologist explains, "That's a different test,
dear. In this test, they're people and you tell me what they're discussing."
To which Daria characteristically replies, "Oh... I see. All right,
then. It's a guy and a girl and they're discussing... a herd of beautiful
wild ponies running free across the plains."
