Multidimensional Scaling of the TAT and the Measurement of Achievement Motivation

Vestewig, Richard E.; Paradise, Carol A.

Journal of Personality Assessment, 41, 6, 595-603, Dec 77

Achievement motivation was successfully measured among male and female college students by having the students rate eight Thematic Apperception Test cards for similarity and scaling the results in two dimensions: number of persons and degree of strong affect. The Rorschach Inkblot Test was not effective in determining need for achievement. (CTM)
