Christina Morgan

Christina Morgan was an American psychologist, best known for co-developing the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) in the 1930s with Henry Murray. The TAT is a projective psychological test used to assess an individual's personality, where respondents create stories about ambiguous images. Morgan’s work focused on how people project their own experiences, emotions, and desires onto these images. This test helps psychologists understand a person's motivations and conflicts, providing insights into their behavior and thought processes. Her contributions have influenced both clinical psychology and personality assessment.
