title: The Stress Tolerance Test.
abstract: The Stress Tolerance Test combines principles and concepts from the Rorschach and TAT methods. Subjects write answers to standard questions about their impressions of slide-projected pictures of dramatic combat scenes designed to elicit stress responses among military personnel. Developed during World War II, this instrument has had little subsequent use. Its potential for yielding useful assessment information is illustrated in hopes of reawakening interest in it.
