Sentence Completion Test (Child)
The Sentence Completion Test is a projection-based assessment in which the child completes unfinished sentences in their own words. The sentences are organized across 11 thematic areas such as attitudes toward the past/future, self and abilities, relationships with mother, father and family, friends, authority, fears, guilt and school. The platform provides copyright-free/generic sentence stems for these areas, so the child can complete it directly. No automatic clinical interpretation is produced; answers are structured by area and (if AI is enabled) summarized for the professional. The licensed Beier form’s specific stems belong to the institution and may be substituted.
