The Contemporized-Themes Concerning Blacks Test (C-TCB), developed by Robert Williams, was the first culturally specific projective test designed for African Americans. Created to address the limitations of biased traditional tests, the C-TCB uses 20 color images depicting scenes from African-American lifestyles. Studies comparing it to the TAT for African American participants found that the C-TCB elicited longer stories, more positive feelings, and stronger cultural identification.
