What do you want? A critique of each of these instruments? That is a tall order. I used to teach a course on some of these and that took a whole semester.

If you are a student at a research university you should be able to access a data base of articles related to test instruments. I did a doctorate program at USC and I know they have that data base so I'm sure other big research universities do as well. If you don't have access to this kind of data base and your paper is due tomorrow you are out of luck. If you aren't familiar with using university based computerized data bases or don't have present access you can alway try medline http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed

I used search terms of "thematic apperception test critique" and got these results...here's a good start http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&DbFrom=pubmed&Cmd=Link&LinkName=pubmed_pubmed&LinkReadableName=Related%20Articles&IdsFromResult=12763700&ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Hint: for your paper, you should have a lot of "validity" and "reliability" information. Not knowing if you are new to this or not..."validity" is "does the instrument measure the construct you are trying to measure" and "reliability" is whether the instrument will provide consistent measurement when administered under different conditions. "Interrater reliability" refers to the concurrance among multiple administrators of a test instrument to come up with similar results when measuring the same phenomena in the same conditions. The statistic for interrater reliability is a kappa and you want it to be .8 or .9 if possible...that is pretty good interrater reliability.
