patient is uninterested in people and prefers to be alone. This demonstrates the following problem with the
TAT:

A) the amount of time it takes to score and interpet it.
B) scoring and interpretation is very subjective.
C) the pictures on the cards are old and dated.
D) the lack of training of clinicians on using it.
