The tester encourages the subjects to write the responses as quick as possible, though the quickness of response is encouraged, there is no attempt to measure speed of reaction. The response tends to provide information that the subject is willing to give, not that which he cannot help giving. Analysis is usually more similar to that used with the Thematic Apperception Test to Word Association Method. As in other project devices, it is assumed that the subject reflects his own wishes, desires, fears and attitudes in the sentences he composes, but this method differs in the subject’s production does not depend so much upon his interpretation of the standard stimulus as upon what he is able and willing to write under the test conditions. In contrast to the usual objective tests, the sentence completion method has the distinct advantage of providing freedom of response instead of forcing the subject to answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ or ‘?’. He can response the stimulus as he wants. In addition, the nature of the test is somewhat designed and it is less clear to the Subject, what constitute ‘good’ or ‘bad’ answer. He cannot manipulate the answers.4 | Manual for S CT Sentence beginnings vary. It May start from third person such as ‘He’, or the use of common names such as Mary. James, personal Pronoun is ‘She’ also frequency used in relation to verbs, .g. | like, | wish, | think + Neutral stimuli in which no pronouns are used are also presented. The sentence beginnings may be highly structured such as “The most fun we had last summer...” or highly unstructured such as, in the senionce beginning “Sometimes, ” In a recent study Sacks constructed two forms of the Sentence Completion Test in order to compare the value of items stated in the first person with items stated in the third person. Six of seven Psychologists participating in the rating found the form of the test employing the first person to be superior. Generally, sentence starting from first Person or with the situation in which the subject feels his own, involvement, he reveals his inner feelings. In this test most of the sentences are Starting with first person or situation is kept in such a way that his personal j i necessary. He expresses his own feeling, liking, attitude etc. Objectives The objectives of this test is to meagl fain personality traits. An attempt has been made to measure three Personality characteristics through the responses of the subjects. These traits are (1) Sociability, (2) Self Confidence, and (3) Ambitious. All the sentences are so framed that they lead to reveal the Position or negative aspect related to one of the traits. Administration There is no special training required for a person administering the test. It is asily be administered in a group of 30 students like other objective tests. eManual forS CT | 5 Instruction In the Sentence Completion Test the instructions are simple.
