This study is an application of previously developed TAT scoring categories to female groups. These TAT scoring categories were developed from three basic aspects of test behavior applicable to scoring systems for all projective techniques: (a) approach to the situation (reflected in the manner standard test directions are followed); (b) normality of response (abstractions of structural and content material included by specified percentages of "normal" Ss); (c) rarity of response (those infrequent responses in a "normal" population which appear with significantly greater frequency in psychopathological conditions).
