Abstract
The 31 TAT cards were administered to varying groups of college students and the stories categorized according to the sex of characters, their age, relationship, what is happening, why, and how the story would end. A measure of uncertainty Ĥ was obtained for each variable for each card. It was hypothesized that the more uncertainty existing as to who was in the picture, the less uncertainty there would be in what is going on in the themes. This hypothesis was confirmed. Other analyses indicated that the most productive cards were in order: cards with both males and females depicted, cards with two or more individuals of the same sex, cards with a single person, and cards with no persons.
