1. Introduction
The Sacks Sentence Completion Test (SSCT) is a projective psychological test developed by
Joseph M. Sacks. It consists of incomplete sentences that the respondent is asked to
complete. The responses are used to gain insight into the individual's personality, emotional
functioning, and conflicts.

2. Theoretical Background
The test comprises 60 incomplete sentences divided into four categories: Family, Sex,
Interpersonal, and Self-concept. It is primarily used for assessing attitudes, conflicts, and
personality traits. Scoring is qualitative, based on themes and emotional tone.

3. Administration Procedure
The SSCT should be administered in a quiet, distraction-free environment. Rapport must be
established with the respondent. They are instructed to complete each sentence with the
first thought that comes to mind. The typical time limit is 20–40 minutes. Informed consent
and confidentiality must be maintained.

4. Sample Test Protocol


Sentence Stem Response Interpretation
My father… …never understands me. Indicates possible conflict
or lack of connection with
father.
I feel upset when… …people ignore me. Possible sensitivity to
rejection or social anxiety.
When I am alone… …I overthink everything. Tendency toward
introspection or anxiety.

5. Analysis & Interpretation


The responses suggest recurring themes of social anxiety, familial conflict, and emotional
sensitivity. The emotional tone leans toward negative self-perception and interpersonal
insecurity.

6. Conclusion
The SSCT provides valuable insights into the inner conflicts and personality structure of the
respondent. While it is subjective and open to interpretation, it remains a useful tool in
clinical settings when used alongside other assessments.
