What do you see first in the picture? Psychological definition of personality. Test: draw a man and find out what kind of character you have. Take psychological tests based on drawings online

This projective method of personality research was proposed by J. Book in 1948. The drawing test is intended for both adults and children, group examination and testing is possible.
(see psychology of children's drawings)

The essence of the drawing test technique is as follows:
The subject is asked to draw house, tree and person. Then a survey is conducted according to the developed plan.

The interaction between the house, the tree and the person is believed to represent a visual metaphor. If you put the whole drawing into action, then it is quite possible to notice what is really happening in our lives.

A special way of interpretation may be the order in which the drawing of the house, tree and person is made.

If drawn first tree, which means that the main thing for a person is Vital energy.

If drawn first house, then in first place – safety, success or, conversely, neglect of these concepts.

Interpretation of signs in the test “Home. Tree. Human"

“HOUSE” in the psychological drawing test ^

The house is old, falling apart - sometimes the subject can express his attitude towards himself in this way.

Home away - a feeling of rejection (rejection).

Home nearby – openness, accessibility and/or a feeling of warmth and hospitality.

The plan of the house (projection from above) instead of the house itself is a serious conflict.

"WALLS" ^

The back wall, located unusually, represents conscious attempts at self-control, adaptation to conventions, but at the same time there are strong hostile tendencies.

The outline of the back wall is much brighter (thicker) compared to other details - the subject strives to maintain (not lose) contact with reality.

A wall, the absence of its base - weak contact with reality (if the drawing is placed below).

A wall with an accentuated contour of the base - the subject is trying to displace conflicting tendencies, experiencing difficulties, anxiety.

A wall with an accentuated horizontal dimension means poor orientation in time (dominance of the past or future). The subject may be sensitive to environmental pressure.

Wall: the side contour is too thin and inadequate - a premonition (threat) of disaster.
Wall: the contours of the line are too accentuated - a conscious desire to maintain control.

Wall: one-dimensional - only one side is shown. If it is a side wall, there are serious tendencies towards alienation and opposition.

Transparent walls are an unconscious attraction, the need to influence (own, organize) the situation as much as possible.

A wall with an accentuated vertical dimension - the subject seeks pleasure primarily in fantasies and has less contact with reality than is desirable.

"DOORS" ^

Their absence means the subject experiences difficulties in trying to open up to others (especially in the home circle).

Doors (one or more), back or side - retreat, detachment, avoidance.

Doors are open - the first sign of frankness and achievability.

The doors are open. If the house is residential, this is a strong need for warmth from the outside or a desire to demonstrate accessibility (frankness).

Side doors (one or more) - alienation, solitude, rejection of reality. Significant inaccessibility.

The doors are very large - excessive dependence on others or the desire to surprise with your social sociability.

The doors are very small - reluctance to let you into your “I”. Feelings of inadequacy, inadequacy, and hesitancy in social situations.

Doors with a huge lock - hostility, suspiciousness, secrecy, defensive tendencies.

"SMOKE" ^

The smoke is very thick - significant internal tension (intensity based on smoke density).

Smoke in a thin stream - a feeling of lack of emotional warmth at home.

"WINDOWS" ^

The first floor is drawn at the end - aversion to interpersonal relationships. Tendency to isolate from reality.

The windows are very open - the subject behaves somewhat cheekily and straightforwardly. Many windows show a willingness to make contact, and the absence of curtains shows a lack of desire to hide one’s feelings.

The windows are closed (curtained). Concern with interaction with the environment (if this is significant for the subject).

Windows without glass - hostility, alienation. The absence of windows on the ground floor means hostility, alienation.

There are no windows on the lower floor, but there are on the upper floor - a gap between real life and fantasy life.

"ROOF" ^

The roof is a realm of fantasy. The roof and chimney, torn off by the wind, symbolically express the subject's feelings of being commanded, regardless of his own willpower.

The roof, a bold outline, unusual for the drawing, is a fixation on fantasies as a source of pleasure, usually accompanied by anxiety.

The roof, the thin contour of the edge - the experience of weakening fantasy control.

Roof, thick outline of the edge - excessive preoccupation with control over fantasy (its curbing).

A roof that does not fit well with the lower floor is a bad personal organization.

The eaves of the roof, its accentuation with a bright outline or extension beyond the walls, is a highly protective (usually suspicious) installation.

"ROOM" ^

Associations may arise due to:
1) the person living in the room,
2) interpersonal relationships in the room,
3) the purpose of this room (real or attributed to it).

Associations can have a positive or negative emotional connotation.

A room that does not fit on the sheet is the reluctance of the subject to depict certain rooms due to unpleasant associations with them or with their occupant.

The subject chooses the nearest room - suspiciousness.

Bath – performs a sanitary function. If the manner in which the bath is depicted is significant, these functions may be impaired.

"PIPE" ^

Absence of a pipe - the subject feels a lack of psychological warmth at home.

The pipe is almost invisible (hidden) - reluctance to deal with emotional influences.

The pipe is drawn obliquely in relation to the roof - the norm for a child; significant regression if found in adults.

Drainpipes - enhanced protection and usually suspicious.

Water pipes (or roof drains) are enhanced protective installations (and usually increased suspiciousness).

"ADDITIONS" ^

The transparent, “glass” box symbolizes the experience of putting oneself on display for everyone to see. He is accompanied by a desire to demonstrate himself, but limited only to visual contact.

Trees often symbolize different faces. If they seem to be “hiding” the house, there may be a strong need for dependency with parental dominance.

Bushes sometimes symbolize people. If they are closely surrounding the house, there may be a strong desire to protect themselves with protective barriers.

Bushes are scattered chaotically throughout the space or on both sides of the path - a slight anxiety within the framework of reality and a conscious desire to control it.

A path, good proportions, easily drawn - shows that the individual displays tact and self-control in contacts with others.

The road is very long - reduced availability, often accompanied by the need for more adequate socialization.

The path is very wide at the beginning and narrows greatly at the house - an attempt to disguise the desire to be alone, combined with superficial friendliness.

Weather (what kind of weather is depicted) – reflects the subject’s experiences as a whole associated with the environment. Most likely, the worse, more unpleasant the weather is depicted, the more likely it is that the subject perceives the environment as hostile and constraining.

Color; its usual use: green - for the roof; brown - for walls;
yellow, if used only to depict the light inside the house, thereby depicting night or its approach, expresses the feelings of the subject, namely:
1) the environment is hostile to him,
2) his actions must be hidden from prying eyes.

Number of Colors Used: A well-adjusted, shy, and emotionally uninvolved subject will typically use at least two and no more than five colors.

A subject who paints a house with seven or eight colors is, at best, very labile.

Anyone who uses only one color is afraid of emotional excitement.

"COLOR CHOICE" ^

The longer, more uncertainly and harder the subject selects colors, the greater the likelihood of having personality disorders.

Perspective “above the subject” (look from below up) – a feeling that the subject is rejected, removed, not recognized at home. Or the subject feels the need for a home, which he considers inaccessible, unattainable.

Perspective, the drawing is depicted in the distance - a desire to move away from conventional society. Feeling of isolation, rejection. There is a clear tendency to isolate oneself from one’s surroundings. The desire to reject, not to recognize this drawing or what it symbolizes.

Perspective, signs of “loss of perspective” (the individual correctly draws one end of the house, but at the other draws a vertical line of the roof and walls - does not know how to depict depth) - signals the beginning of difficulties in integration, fear of the future (if the vertical side line is on the right) or desire forget the past (line on the left).

Triple perspective (three-dimensional, the subject draws at least four separate walls, on which not even two are in the same plan) - excessive concern with the opinions of others about oneself. The desire to keep in mind (to recognize) all connections, even minor ones, all features.

Placing the picture above the center of the sheet - the larger the picture is above the center, the more likely it is that:

1) the subject feels the severity of the struggle and the relative unattainability of the goal;

2) the subject prefers to seek satisfaction in fantasies (internal tension);

3) the subject tends to stay aloof.

Placing the drawing exactly in the center of the sheet is insecurity and rigidity (straightness). The need for careful control to maintain mental balance.

Placing the picture below the center of the sheet - the lower the picture is in relation to the center of the sheet, the more it looks like:

1) the subject feels unsafe and uncomfortable, and this creates a depressive mood in him;

2) the subject feels limited, constrained by reality.
Placing a picture on the left side of the sheet is an emphasis on the past.

Placing a picture in the upper left corner of the sheet is a tendency to avoid new experiences. The desire to go into the past or delve into fantasies.

Placing a picture on the right half of the sheet means the subject is inclined to seek pleasure in the intellectual spheres. Controlled behavior. Emphasis on the future.

The drawing goes beyond the left edge of the sheet - fixation on the past and fear of the future. Excessive preoccupation with free, overt emotional experiences.

Going beyond the right edge of the sheet is a desire to “escape” into the future in order to get rid of the past. Fear of open, free experiences. The desire to maintain tight control over the situation.

Going beyond the top edge of the sheet is a fixation on thinking and fantasy as sources of pleasure that the subject does not experience in real life.

The contours are very straight - rigidity.

A sketchy outline, used constantly - at best, pettiness, a desire for accuracy, at worst - an indication of the inability to take a clear position.

Substantial Detail - The absence of significant detail in a drawing of a subject who is now or in the recent past known to be of average or higher intelligence is more likely to indicate intellectual degradation or severe emotional disturbance.

An excess of details - “the inevitability of physicality” (the inability to limit oneself) indicates a forced need to improve the entire situation, an excessive concern for the environment.

The nature of the details (significant, unimportant or strange) can serve to more accurately determine the specificity of sensitivity.

Unnecessary duplication of details - the subject most likely does not know how to enter into tactful and flexible contacts with people.

Insufficient detail – tendencies towards isolation.

Particularly meticulous detailing - constraint, pedantry.

The ability to critically evaluate a drawing when asked to criticize it is a criterion for not losing contact with reality.

Accepting the task with minimal protest is a good start, followed by fatigue and interruption of drawing.

“Tree” in a psychological drawing test ^

The interpretation according to K. Koch is based on the provisions of K. Jung (a tree is a symbol of a standing person).

The roots are the collective unconscious.

Trunk – impulses, instincts, primitive stages.

Branches – passivity or opposition to life.

The interpretation of a tree drawing always contains a permanent core (roots, trunk, branches) and ornamental elements (foliage, fruits, landscape). As already noted, K. Koch’s interpretation was aimed mainly at identifying pathological signs and characteristics of mental development.

The earth rises to the right edge of the picture - fervor, enthusiasm.

The earth sinks to the right edge of the sheet - loss of strength, lack of aspirations.

The roots are smaller than the trunk - a desire for something hidden, closed.

The roots are equal to the trunk - a stronger curiosity that already poses a problem.

Roots larger than the trunk - intense curiosity, which can cause anxiety.

The roots are indicated by a line - childish behavior in relation to what is kept secret.

The roots in the form of two lines are the ability to distinguish and prudence in assessing the real; the different forms of these roots may be associated with the desire to live, suppress or express certain tendencies in an unfamiliar circle or close environment.

Symmetry is the desire to appear in harmony with the outside world. Marked tendency to restrain aggressiveness. Hesitation in choosing a position in relation to feelings, ambivalence, moral problems.

The arrangement on the sheet is ambiguous - the relationship to the past, to what the drawing depicts, i.e. to your action. Double desire: independence and protection within the environment.

The central position is the desire to find agreement and balance with others. Indicates the need for rigid and rigorous systematization based on habits.

Arrangement from left to right - increases focus on the outside world, on the future. The need to rely on authority; seeking agreement with the outside world; ambition, the desire to impose oneself on others, a feeling of abandonment; fluctuations in behavior are possible.

Round crown – exaltation, emotionality.

Circles in foliage - the search for soothing and rewarding sensations, feelings of abandonment and disappointment.

Branches drooping - loss of courage, refusal of effort.

Branches upward - enthusiasm, impulse, desire for power.

Branches in different directions - search for self-affirmation, contacts, self-dispersal. Fussiness, sensitivity to the environment, lack of opposition to it.

Foliage-mesh, more or less dense - greater or less dexterity in avoiding problematic situations.

Foliage of curved lines - receptivity, open acceptance of the environment.

Open and closed foliage in one picture - a search for objectivity.

Closed foliage - protecting your inner world in a childish way.

Closed dense foliage is hidden aggressiveness.

The branches emerge from one area on the trunk - a child’s search for protection, the norm for a seven-year-old child.

The branches are drawn with one line - an escape from the troubles of reality, its transformation and embellishment.

Thick branches are a good discernment of reality.

Loop leaves - prefers to use charm.

Palma - the desire to change places.

Mesh foliage - escape from unpleasant sensations.

Foliage as a pattern - femininity, friendliness, charm.

Weeping willow - lack of energy, desire for solid support and search for positive contacts; return to the past and childhood experiences; difficulties in making decisions.

Blackening, shading - tension, anxiety.

Shaded trunk - internal anxiety, suspicion, fear of abandonment; hidden aggressiveness.

The trunk is in the shape of a broken dome - the desire to be like the mother, to do everything like her, or the desire to be like the father, to measure strength with him, a reflection of failures.

A one-line trunk is a refusal to look at things realistically.

The trunk is drawn with thin lines, the crown with thick ones - it can assert itself and act freely.

Foliage with thin lines - subtle sensitivity, suggestibility.

Trunk with lines with pressure - determination, activity, productivity.

The lines of the trunk are straight - dexterity, resourcefulness, does not dwell on disturbing facts.

The trunk lines are crooked - activity is inhibited by anxiety and thoughts about the insurmountability of obstacles.

“Vermicelli” – a tendency to secrecy for the sake of abuse, unexpected attacks, hidden rage.

The branches are not connected to the trunk - a departure from reality that does not correspond to desires, an attempt to “escape” into dreams and games.

The trunk is open and connected with the foliage - high intelligence, normal development, the desire to preserve inner peace.

The trunk is torn off the ground - lack of contact with the outside world; Everyday life and spiritual life have little connection.

The trunk is limited from below - a feeling of unhappiness, a search for support.

The trunk expands downward - searching for a reliable position in one’s circle.

The trunk tapers downwards - a feeling of security in a circle that does not provide the desired support; isolation and the desire to strengthen the self against a troubled world.

Overall height - lower quarter of the sheet - dependence, lack of self-confidence, compensatory dreams of power.

The lower half of the leaf is less pronounced dependence and timidity.

Three quarters of the leaf is a good adaptation to the environment.

The leaf is used in its entirety - it wants to be noticed, count on others, assert itself.

Sharp peak - protects against danger, real or imaginary, perceived as a personal attack; desire to act on others, attack or defend, difficulties in contacts; wants to compensate for feelings of inferiority, the desire for power; seeking a safe haven due to feelings of abandonment for a firm position, need for tenderness.

Multiplicity of trees (several trees on one leaf) is childish behavior; the subject does not follow these instructions.

Two trees - can symbolize yourself and another loved one (see position on the sheet and other points of interpretation).

Adding various objects to the tree is interpreted depending on the specific objects.

Landscape means sentimentality.

Turning over a leaf is independence, a sign of intelligence, prudence.

The earth is depicted by one feature - focus on the goal, acceptance of some order.

The earth is depicted in several different ways - acting according to its own rules, needing an ideal.

Several joint lines depicting the ground and touching the edge of the sheet - spontaneous contact, sudden removal, impulsiveness, capriciousness.

Details about the Luscher color test online

The Luscher Color Test is a psychological test based on color perception and is a powerful and unique means of studying a person’s personality.
PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR
This method belongs to the so-called color psychology - a science that studies the relationship between color and the human psyche. Preference given to one color and rejection of another have a certain meaning: this choice accurately reflects the subject’s focus on a certain activity, his mood and emotional state. The Luscher test is based on this dependence.

Structure and Procedure of the Luscher Test

There are currently two versions of the test: short and full. A short version of the CTL is a set (table) of 8 colors: - gray (conditional number - 0), dark blue (1), blue-green (2), red-yellow (3), yellow-red (4 ), red-blue or purple (5), brown (6) and black (7).

The full version of the CTL - “Clinical Color Test” consists of 7 color tables:

1. “gray”
2. “8 colors”
3. “4 primary colors”
4. "blue"
5. "green"
6. "red"
7. "yellow"
The general rules are:
blue – inner satisfaction,
red – self-confidence,
green – self-esteem,
yellow - inner freedom.
the remaining colors are “problematic”, symbolizing internal conflicts.

A clear preference for a color or a clear dislike for it indicates the presence of this quality in a person or its absence. The M. Luscher color test has a very wide scope of application, but its most productive use is in such areas as:

• Medicine - assessment of the current neuropsychic status of the patient and the effectiveness of the psychotherapeutic intervention; diagnosis of the causes of neuropsychic ill-being;

• Management - selection of managers and specialists with high neuropsychic potential, development of recommendations for optimizing the manager’s style of activity, etc.;

• Armed forces - identification of persons prone to depressive states and affective reactions; selection of individuals with high psychological reliability; Professional sports - calculation of the intensity of loads, development of measures to achieve the optimal neuropsychic state of the athlete, forecast of successful performance in competitions, etc.

Negotiations in color

Tens of thousands of experiments with the Luscher color test on people of the most diverse levels of culture, almost all over the world, have shown that the influence of color exists everywhere and does not depend on race, gender and social status.

2. Face
   If the first thing you saw in the picture was the face, underneath your appearance lies an emotional, dreamy and artistic nature. Your character traits are especially pronounced in moments of strong emotional shock, immense happiness and love. You are characterized by a calm and harmonious lifestyle, love of love and a positive type of thinking.

   

   You make friends easily and quickly find a common language with people of very different personalities, and your fragile nature is as easy to hurt as it is to charm. Perhaps your loved ones wonder why you are so calm and at times careless when everyone around you doesn’t find a place for themselves, but you were simply lucky to be born with such an enviable character.

3. Figure in the foreground
   We are sure that you are a focused, intelligent and extremely curious person, because you were the first to notice the barely noticeable figure in the foreground of the picture. You are often thoughtful and silent, but at the same time you have a special love for all kinds of disputes and debates, because you are one hundred percent sure that you are right. Asking questions and just as quickly finding answers to them is something you can do endlessly.

   

   Your bright head contains many extraordinary ideas, which you happily share with others. In general, you are an excellent organizer and purposeful leader, but your stubbornness and excessive self-confidence can cause a lot of trouble. To keep your energy in a healthy balance, communicate only with friendly people, learn to control your hot temper and avoid aggressive situations.

Psychological test: House-Tree-Person. How to decipher it correctly?

Psychological test is a tool that helps specialists understand the state of the psyche of an adult or child. The simplest testing method is an ordinary drawing. If you know how to decipher it correctly, you can find out about all the fears and problems of the person who drew it.

Psychological test based on drawings - house, tree, person: decoding with interpretation for children

Psychological test on drawings for children

• If you want to find out how your baby really feels, then ask him to draw a house, a tree, a person, and then carefully examine the drawing, paying attention to all, even the smallest details. The first thing you should pay attention to is how hard your little one presses the pencil when creating her masterpiece. If the lines are weakly expressed and barely noticeable, then this indicates that you are growing up a timid and somewhere passive person who is trying to be invisible.
• It is also a bad sign if the child uses an elastic band very often. This indicates uncertainty and excessive anxiety. If a son or daughter draws with strong pressure, this indicates that they are quite tense. In addition, you must pay attention to what colors the picture is made of. The ideal option is to use pastel colors.
• Typically, this indicates that you have been able to develop a personality that lives in harmony with its environment. But still remember, so that the moral state of the children remains the same, it is extremely important for them to feel your love, and it will be better if you show it tactilely. To do this, it will be enough to hug and kiss your child a couple of times a day.

Decoding the colors of the picture

Interpretation of the colors of the picture:

• Red. This color scheme should not alarm you as it is most often used by open and restless children. Yes, sometimes they may disobey or even act out, but this speaks more about individual characteristics rather than mental disorders.
• Blue. Most often, this color scheme is preferred by calm, balanced children who sometimes like to be alone with themselves.
• Green. This color scheme should alert young parents as it indicates that your baby lacks attention. If you do not try to correct this state of affairs, then with a high probability we can say that your child will grow up withdrawn and will be afraid to trust people.
• Yellow. The predominance of such a color scheme indicates that a dreamy person is growing in your home, who looks at the world around him through rose-colored glasses.
• Dark shades(black, brown, gray). The use of such a color scheme indicates that your child has quite serious psychological problems, which without proper correction can turn into a rather severe depressive state.

Decoding the location of the house

• Another criterion that you must pay attention to is the placement of the house, tree and person in the drawing. If the child drew the figures you suggested as very large and cumbersome, this indicates that your baby’s anxiety is quite high, and he cannot relax even when he knows for sure that nothing threatens him. True, in this case there is one exception to the rule. If a hyperactive child is growing up in your house, then this arrangement of figures on a piece of paper can be considered quite normal.
• If the house, tree and person are located at the very top of the leaf (as a rule, the lower part remains completely clean), then this indicates that you raised a child with very high self-esteem. In the future, such a child may have problems at home, in kindergarten or at school. Due to the fact that the son will consider himself better than everyone else, he will not be able to find true friends and, worst of all, will not be able to fit into the children's team.
• A negative signal is very small figures located at the bottom of the sheet. Most often, children who have psychological problems draw this way. It is likely that your child is depressed or has very low self-esteem. Ideally, all the details of the drawing should be drawn as proportionally as possible and in no case overlap each other.

• Well, at the last stage, conduct a general analysis of what your child has drawn. Be sure to pay attention to how he depicted the person and where he placed him. If a person comes out very sad and very small compared to other objects, then this indicates that your child is very lonely and feels unnecessary to anyone. It is likely that you simply spend little time with your child, and in his subconscious there is an opinion that he is not that important to you.
• Also a bad signal is the complete absence of facial expressions in a person. This suggests that your baby has a rather poor emotional state, indicating terrible moral well-being. As for the house, it should also be as realistic as possible. Of course, a small child is unlikely to be able to draw an ideal home, but still, because he does this, you can understand how comfortable he feels in the family. So, if the house turns out to be very small and located as if far away, then it is likely that your baby feels rejected or alien.
• If the house has normal dimensions and is placed proportionally in the picture, then this indicates family harmony and openness of your baby. Also a good signal is the presence of doors and windows at the painted home. A reason to be wary is a tree that seems to be hiding behind the house. Most often, children of very strict and dominant parents who try to control every step of their child arrange their vegetation this way.

Psychological test based on drawings - house, tree, person: decoding with interpretation for adults

Psychological test based on drawings for adults

As you probably already understood, a drawing can tell a lot about a person. True, in the case of adults, more attention should be paid to the small details of the resulting picture. Unlike children, they can already control their emotions and very often try to deceive a specialist by using the right color scheme or drawing with the right pressure. Therefore, the first thing you should pay attention to is whether there is a wisp of smoke above the house.

If a very thin stream comes from the chimney, then this shows that the person is emotionally exhausted and does not feel warmth and care from his loved ones. Too thick smoke coming from the chimney indicates that a person is under very strong moral stress. And the thicker and darker the smoke coming out, the worse the internal state of the person undergoing the test.

Deciphering the house

Decoding the drawing of the house

• If a person draws a beautiful, proportional house that has all the windows and doors, then this indicates that he is in harmony with himself and with those around him. If the building is depicted without windows and doors, this is a sign of a closed person, which is most often provoked by quite strong problems at work. In this way he is trying to show that he is not going to let anyone into his life. Also a bad signal is the presence of steps or stairs that are not located near the door or window, but simply near a blank wall. As a rule, this is how a long-standing conflict manifests itself, which requires an immediate solution.

• Also pay attention to how the walls of the home are drawn. If they are clear and clearly visible, then the person does not have any special problems. But if the lines denoting the outline of the house are very thin, almost transparent, then the person feels some kind of danger and is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself from it. Open doors at home indicate that a person has no problems either at home or at work, and is always happy to have guests. But if the doors are too large and occupy most of the wall, then this indicates that the man or woman has problems with self-esteem and at the moment they are trying to show their importance and irreplaceability.

• Another negative sign is the lock on the door, especially if it is very large. As a rule, in this way a person’s subconscious shows his hostility, closedness and aggressiveness. Windows can also tell a lot about a person. If they are of normal size and there are flowers on them, then this indicates that the person does not have any psychological pressures that interfere with his life. If the windows are almost completely covered with curtains, it means that it is difficult for a person to interact with the outside world, and he is trying to isolate himself a little from it.

Decoding a drawing of a person

Decoding a drawing of a person

• Most often, the presence of problems in men and women is indicated by the size of the person they depict in the picture. The smaller and more noticeable it is, the more insecure the person being tested feels. In this case, proportions are also very important. After all, if, for example, the person depicted has a very large head, then this indicates a desire to dominate others. A too small head shows that a person has problems with intellectual development, and he is very worried about this. If a man or woman does not like criticism and tries to distance themselves from unpleasant words, then the picture will depict a man without ears.

• The size of the neck can also tell about internal psychological problems. A wide, but at the same time short neck indicates that males and females have character traits that they do not like, but they are trying to get rid of them. A neck that is too long and thin is usually depicted by people who are prone to aggressive behavior and who do not know how to keep their emotions under control. And, of course, don’t forget to pay attention to the person’s arms and legs. If they are drawn as clearly as possible, with bright lines, then this indicates that in front of you there is a man or woman who stands firmly on the ground and is not afraid of any difficulties arising.

• As for the eyes, they also play a huge role in deciphering the drawing. If a person draws very small eyes, this indicates that he is too immersed in his internal problems. The presence of too large eyes indicates that the person being tested is rude and assertive. But beautiful and fluffy eyelashes reveal a flirtatious person who loves the attention of the opposite sex.

Decoding the tree drawing

Decoding the tree drawing

• The more symmetrical and beautiful the tree is depicted in the picture, the more harmonious a person feels. If somehow part of the tree is larger or smaller than necessary, then this indicates the presence of psychological problems. For example, if a person draws a small tree and very massive roots, then this is a sure sign that he has some problems that he is trying to hide from strangers.

• Very often in a picture you can see a tree whose leaves are poorly drawn, but at the same time the trunk is very brightly painted. This state of affairs indicates that the test taker is not afraid to face difficulties. Branches hanging down seem to tell us that a person has given up and is not even trying to deal with the problems that arise on his life’s path.

• Pay special attention to the lines used to draw the tree. If all the lines are clear, smooth and are not interrupted anywhere, then we can definitely say that in front of you is an individual who is not afraid of life’s difficulties and always goes towards his goals. If the lines are crooked and periodically interrupted, then this is evidence of indecision, cowardice and inhibition.

Recommendations for taking the test

• If you decide to conduct a similar psychological test on your child or simply one of the adult family members, remember that in order to get the most accurate result, you need to give the person complete freedom of thought. You have no right to tell him how to draw this or that part of the drawing. It is also strictly forbidden to push the test taker to choose a certain color. The entire time the person is completing the task, you will have to sit silently on the sidelines. And it will be even better if you leave the room altogether for a while. This way you will allow the person to be alone with you.

• Also be sure to take care of the place where the testing will take place. You must create conditions in which the person will be as comfortable as possible. This means that on the table on which he will draw there should be no objects that distract attention. Ideally, only a piece of paper, pencils and an eraser should be on the table. If a child is being tested, then in addition to the above-mentioned things, you can also place markers and paints on the table.

• With their help, the baby will be able to reveal his inner world as well as possible. As for drawing, there are no clear rules. You just have to give the person a task, and he must decide for himself where he will start creating the drawing. All that will be required of you in this situation is to silently observe and wait patiently for him to finish.

Drawing of an adult man

Drawing of a child

While the person is being tested, you will need to record:

1. His reaction to the task
2. How quickly did he figure out what was required of him?
3. How quickly does a test taker decide on a color?
4. How long did it take for the person to complete the task?

After the drawing is ready, you can ask your child or adult questions that will help you get the most accurate result. But remember, you must do this in the most relaxed manner possible. In general, a conversation with a child is best done in a playful way. After all, the more relaxed he is, the more reliable information his subconscious will give out.

Test questions:

• Who did you depict in the drawing, boy or girl (man or woman)?
• Is it you or your relative?
• Do you like what you drew?
• What kind of tree did you draw?
• Why do you like it so much?
• Is this your house?
• What is your home made of?

In principle, the questions can be different, as long as they are relevant to the picture. For example, during a post-drawing survey, you can ask the test taker why some significant details are missing in his drawing (leaves on a tree, windows and doors on a house, or ears on his head). You should also be interested in the not entirely correct arrangement of the elements of the picture.

For example, obliquely growing trees or very skewed walls of a house. A person must definitely try to explain why he sees his world in a slightly distorted form. After you find out all the details that interest you, you can begin the final analysis of what the person has drawn.

In psychology, there are many ways to diagnose personality. An experienced psychologist will be able to tell a lot by simply analyzing a person’s body language, his manner of speaking, and his handwriting. In psychodiagnostic practice, psychological tests are also widely used: personality questionnaires, achievement tests, situational and projective techniques.

Psychology in pictures

Psychology in pictures

Psychological tests based on pictures belong to projective methods of psychodiagnostics. That is, they are based on the interpretation of the subject’s projections onto the stimulus material in the form of semi-structured graphic images and color drawings. Projection is a protective mechanism of the psyche, which consists in attributing one’s own feelings, thoughts, aspirations, qualities, beliefs to someone or something. A person thinks out what fills his consciousness and subconscious and gives unique interpretations of what he sees. For example, think about it: what was the first thing you saw in the picture above - a butterfly, pistols in blood splatters, or something else?

Review of popular psychological tests with pictures

There are many posted on the Internet. Most of them serve a purely entertainment function. The results obtained from such questionnaires should not be taken seriously. We will look at the most interesting and frequently used professional techniques using drawings .

TAT

A widely popular method of psychodiagnostics using pictures is the thematic perceptual test (TAT). The subject is presented with black and white images, most of which can be seen of people in everyday situations. A person must come up with a plot for each picture, describe what the characters think and feel.

TAT

By writing a story describing, the subject involuntarily identifies with one of the characters depicted and talks about his own problems and internal conflicts.

For example, try to guess what is happening in this photo. What is eating the child and how will he get out of this difficult situation?

Thematic Perceptual Test

Depending on the interpretation option that you prefer, we can draw a conclusion about your psycho-emotional state and characteristic way of solving problems.

Do you think your child is bored? Is he tired of honing his violin skills? Have you been feeling the same way about your work lately? Maybe you need a rest, new experiences? Will the child still take up classes or run off to play? Depending on which assumption you are inclined to, you can judge what is more strongly expressed in your character - a sense of duty or a love of freedom.

Or does it seem to you that the boy really wants to play the instrument, but he was asked not to make noise? Are all your desires satisfied? Do you feel that others put undue pressure on you?

Or maybe the boy is experiencing creative pangs, he is unable to compose a melody? Has any problem been bothering you lately? Do you doubt your ability to solve it, are you afraid of not being able to cope with your obligations?

The violin doesn't belong to the boy, and he's just pining for its owner? Do you become very attached to your loved ones? Is your biggest fear being separation from your loved one?

Wagner hand test

The technique was developed to determine the level of aggressiveness. The stimulus material is nine images of a hand, which can be interpreted ambiguously. Depending on the quantitative ratio in which the subject perceives gestures as aggressive and peaceful, a conclusion is drawn about his tendency to aggressive behavior.

Wagner hand test

Rorschach test

Probably the most famous psychodiagnostic drawing test is the Rorschach inkblot technique. The subject must give an interpretation of ten ink blots.

Rorschach test

The ability to see a symmetrical figure in a shapeless spot indicates realistic perception, a high level of self-criticism and self-control. Seeing images of moving figures in the blots speaks of a rich imagination. Seeing paired images of animals and people in most drawings indicates significance for humans

Rorschach test

Most people see the card as an animal skin or a male figure looking down. Less often they see images in separate fragments of the image - a dog's head, a horse's muzzle. Perceiving the inkblot as a dominant figure indicates fear of those in positions of power and authority, including the father. On the other hand, the inability to see this image on the card may indicate a lack of self-control.

There are no professional psychological tests based on drawings with comprehensive answers in the public domain. After all, the effectiveness of psychodiagnostic techniques is achieved due to the subject’s ignorance of the principles of analyzing test data.

Advantages and disadvantages of psychological tests in pictures

The results of projective tests are more difficult to falsify, since the pictures presented by the psychologist are neutral in content, and there is simply no single correct answer. Most other types of testing are characterized by a “learning effect” when taking a test task repeatedly.

Psychological tests with pictures, on the contrary, can and even should be used repeatedly when diagnosing the same person. A new reading of psychological pictures by the subject indicates a change in his psycho-emotional state and can serve as a criterion for successful psychotherapy. If, after passing psychological tests, you have identified increased anxiety or aggressiveness, try listening to audio hypnosis every day for a week to develop confidence and compare the test results before and after. If the problem is deeper, then it is better not to hesitate and seek help from a psychologist, for example, Nikita Valerievich Baturin.

Of course, psychological tests based on drawings also have disadvantages. First of all, there is no significant scientific evidence that projective psychodiagnostic methods have an acceptable level of validity (correspondence of the results obtained to the stated testing goals). The interpretation of a subject's reactions to pictures in psychology cannot be as unambiguous as, for example, in tests with quantitative indicators.

However, many practicing psychologists are not embarrassed by the lack of “scientific” nature of the method and they find it quite informative for their work. We can say that the success of using pictures in psychology to diagnose personality depends on skill and
