TAT..What do your words really mean?

After learning about different types of personality testing in our class,  I've become eager to see what professionals have to say about me. So, today I took a TAT which stands for Thematic Appreciation Test. This type of test is used to see how people reveal themselves through writing after looking and describing a picture for ten minutes. The words are then analyzed and produces a personality assessment. 

Here is the picture that is commonly used in TAT. 

After taking my test, it gave me feedback on the analysis of my words. It stated that the most common themes that are emphasizes the nature of the experiment or scientific discovery, friendship between the two women and status difference of the two women. I found it funny how I fit into the most common group as I wrote about a scientific discovery.
While analyzing the words they look at 8 different categories. The need for achievement, need for affiliation, need for power, self-references, positive emotion words, negative emotion words, and the use of big words. After looking at each of those categories, you can put them all together and look at the bigger picture.

I think that this test can be useful but also has it faults. Each of the categories that are analyzed are subject to change on how your emotions are that day. If I was in a bad mood perhaps I'd write a short story saying that after years of hard work there experiment had no results. It would change my personality assessment. Or if i typed big words (more than 6 letters) throughout the whole story but I used them all wrong, or had no idea what they actually meant. This test does have it's positives but it may have more faults.
