Psychology studies human nature and can explain various shapes his behavior. Opportunity like research characteristic features personalities based on drawings has grown into a whole technique. Research tests are suitable for both children and adults. The techniques are extremely simple and do not require special preparation. The results are striking in their accuracy. What are the most common psychological tests for unconscious drawings?

Drawing test “Draw a house”

The test task is easy to understand based on the name of the psychological test. It is also not difficult to interpret the results from the drawings; human psychology is structured in such a way that without meaning to, he will talk about his inner world.

This drawing test can act as an independent study, or it can become the key to other tasks in which a person depicts a house.

Drawing test “Choose a figure”

The sheet shows square, triangle, rectangle, circle and zigzag. A person is asked to first choose one figure that he associates with himself, and then arrange the remaining elements in order of personal preference. The psychological response consists of two components: the figure chosen first characterizes the dominant personality traits, the remaining details complement the image.

Incorrigible workaholics put first place square. Such people always finish what they start with perseverance and diligence; they have excellent memory and a sense of responsibility. Idealists do not lose sight of any details and like to “put everything on the shelf.” Undoubtedly, such qualities are useful at work, but they are very annoying in their personal life. Family happiness It is guaranteed that in this case you will be able to find a soul mate with the same character.

Triangle they are chosen by true leaders who are strong, courageous, energetic, self-confident, able to soberly assess the situation and sensibly analyze what is happening. In all spheres of life, these people reserve the right to a decisive vote and do not change decisions made and do not know how to admit their own mistakes. All life is spent in competition and struggle for first place.

Personalities - " rectangles“are in a state of constant change. They are inconsistent and unpredictable, always dissatisfied with something and always looking for something better. Naivety and curiosity generate not only a keen interest in everything unknown, but also incredible courage. Therefore, such people are rarely alone.

Selected circle always strive for harmony. Through the efforts of these philanthropists, a friendly atmosphere in the work team and a favorable atmosphere in the family union are maintained. They know how to listen and support, are very sensitive and insightful. Psychology can become their life's work.

Open zigzag- preference for creative creative people. They are often expressive and eccentric, almost always naive and impractical. Excellent intuition, a subtle sense of humor and the ability to get along with everyone common language compensate for shortcomings.

Drawing test “What do the doodles hide?”

Involuntary tracing of a pen on a piece of paper can tell a lot about a person's character.

This psychological test is considered one of the most truthful. After all, the information that a person gives out unconsciously is considered the most true. All secret thoughts, hidden experiences, unjustified hopes are projected onto paper.

Drawing test “Secrets of the inner world”

Very interesting and easy to do psychological test, which may ultimately provide significant answers to many life questions. To do this you will need a pen (or pencil), a blank piece of paper and a few minutes of free time.

First you need to divide the sheet into four equal parts. In the upper left sector you need to draw a dot, in the upper right sector - a rectangle, in the lower left part the “=” sign is drawn, and the lower right part remains empty. Now you need to discard all extraneous thoughts, calm down and start performing the test. To do this you need to finish drawing in first three in the fields whatever comes to mind first. You shouldn’t waste effort on masterpiece paintings, even if it takes no more than 15 seconds to create one image. And in the last square you should draw a boat floating on the waves. That's all, you can start decoding.

Answers to the psychological test “Secrets of the inner world”

1. Top left picture talks about interaction with the outside world. If more dots or other small scattered details were added, then we are talking about a sociable, open personality. And spirals, circles, ovals indicate a closed, alienated person.
2. Top right picture reveals the inner self. Selfish people try to reduce the area of ​​contact between the drawing and the rectangle or even draw elements away from the figure. Good-natured, sociable people connect their image with the one proposed. Most often this is a wall, a parallelepiped, or a brick. Altruists tend to draw a picture of the house.
3. Third drawing responsible for relationships with the opposite sex. The fewer details and the farther they are from the lines, the easier and simpler the thread of communication is built. Insecure individuals draw piled-up pyramids of various characters and signs.
4. Last drawing- this is love. Romantics add a lot of unnecessary details: sails, stars, clouds, oars, people, animals. Practical natures with a strong character and alien to sentimentality depict a simplified scheme without any frills or intricacies. Passionate dreamers rushing headlong into feelings will undoubtedly draw a raging sea, on the waves of which the boat of love rocks.

Everyone wants to look at themselves from the outside, to evaluate the psychology of the inner world from a different angle. You can determine a psychological portrait using drawings. A person will spontaneously put on paper all his personality traits, even those that are difficult to admit to himself.

Test: draw a man and find out what kind of character you have

A very simple and very interesting psychological test, for which all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil.

The task is elementary - any child can do it. You take a standard A4 piece of paper and draw a symbolic person on it. Using three types geometric shapes: triangles, circles and squares. You can use these elements in any combination, size and proportions, but in total there should be exactly ten of them in your drawing. Ready for a masterpiece? Now read the key and decrypt hidden meaning- and then take a couple more leaves - and go ahead to explore your neighbors!

Reference. Psychogeometry was created by American specialists led by Susan Dellinger, and the psychographic test “Constructive drawing of a person from geometric shapes” was developed by domestic psychologists Libin. And they offer detailed interpretations – enough for a whole book! Pics offers the simplest, shortest and most understandable version of the test.

First, let’s evaluate which figures you have more among the “organs” of a person.

What does triangle mean

As many as three horns – that’s not a sparrow sneezing! A sharp and purposeful figure in all respects. And she tells us (in a loud and confident commanding voice) about perseverance and energy. If a lover of triangles aims his corner at some line and rushes towards it, the only thing that will stop him is an avalanche. In some places, such a comrade is like that avalanche: “Hey, follow me!” - and everyone is already running. And he shines for them. The triangle is always right. If you think he is wrong, try to compete with him. Gored!

What does circle mean

This figure is the most feminine in character. Not in the sense that if a gentleman preferred her, then he has a problem with tradition. It’s just that a socially-minded person will always prefer to come to an agreement rather than waving a pitchfork and throwing excrement. She sincerely feels sorry for Mumu, wishes peace in the whole world, and can have a heart-to-heart talk or meditate on the lawn without a creak. “Circles” know how to listen and understand people better than others. The classic representative of the round party is Leopold with his mantra about “let's live together.”

What does square mean?

This structure stands firmly and firmly on the ground. Just like her fan. His logic is impenetrable, his persuasiveness is like that of the textbooks “Native Speech” and “Arithmetic” combined, his willpower is measured in horsepower, his endurance is the envy of rocks. Speaking of horses: he usually plows accordingly too. He has everything on the shelves - both in his head and on the shelves themselves. To unsettle him, you need... well, maybe burst into tears. Emotionality is not his thing, it’s for those around him.

After examining the work, count how many there are in your “portrait”: 1) triangles, 2) circles, 3) squares. Write it down in numbers: for example, two triangles, two circles and six squares - 226. And what does this formula say about you? Yes, a lot!

1 type: organizer (811, 712, 721, 613, 622, 631)

At school and college, you were probably the head boy - or at least at least, collected contributions from everyone for Sabantui. At work, you are the one who takes responsibility at a critical moment and ultimately takes it to the fullest. In the family - mommy or daddy, and not only in relation to children. Everyone - from a kitten to a grandmother - asks you what is best for them to do. And if someone doesn’t ask, he’s unreasonable, then it’s worse for him!

Type 2: performer (514, 523, 532, 541)

A person who knows how to do his job - with love, with understanding and, most often, on time. Your sense of responsibility is no worse than that of the organizer, but you prefer to be responsible not for everyone, but for yourself. Well, you sometimes doubt: is everything here really already perfect, and is it possible to somehow improve it?

Type 3: dreamer (433, 343, 334)

The same talented one who is talented in everything. And you can draw, and dance, if necessary, and compose a project. By the way, your writing is best. Sometimes, however, the result turns out to be not entirely applicable to reality - but what to do if the reality around you is so imperfect?

Type 4: sympathetic (181, 271, 172, 361, 262, 163)

On your Facebook wall, all the homeless dogs on the planet are looking for salvation, and your vest is ready to accept all the humiliated and insulted. This is called “developed empathy”: you simply don’t understand what it means to “not take things to heart.” And please don’t show you “White Bim” or “Titanic”!

Type 5: subtle nature (451, 352, 154, 253, 154)

Sensitive and fragile soul, it is better not to turn over. Even if they don’t seriously attack you, you still worry: what if they thought the wrong thing? What if deep down you were offended? Yes, and you yourself know how to get offended, get excited and worried - but they, callous people, won’t even notice. However, your moods are changeable, you generally don’t like monotony.

Type 6: independent (442, 424, 244)

But they wouldn’t all come at you with their attitudes and prejudices. You are an artist, you see so! What kind of artist is he? That's right, free! You always have a couple of brilliant ideas in your head, your own point of view and your own rules of life. It is not recommended to criticize you - unless, of course, you value your life and sanity. Because there is nothing!

Type 7: sociable (415, 325, 235, 415)

It's easier for you to say it in words than to write it in a report. Contact to a stranger? Yes please, no problem. Call the phone and get the necessary information? At least twice. You are a genius of communication and spontaneity itself. Sometimes being sociable takes you to places you never expected to be. Never mind, the tongue will not only get you there, but will also bring you back!

Type 8: self-sufficient (118, 127, 217, 316, 226, 136)

Unlike the previous type, who was wide open to everyone, you don’t particularly like to open up. You even avoid these very open ones: you never know what will come into the minds of these noisy and hectic bees. If someone really needs it, knock on the shell and wipe your feet on the threshold. And in general, you need to take a closer look, dry yourself off - and then... Sometimes, because of this feature, you have to stay and fight with your problems alone. Well, yes, you are strict with others - but you are strict with yourself too!

(projective tests to help parents, teachers, those interested...)

Projective tests are used in the work of a psychologist to: a) diagnose the internal emotional state of a child and b) pull out problems that are deeply seated in the subconscious of an adult.

One of the most common projective drawing tests is DDH test- "House. Tree. Human". He works with archetypes and therefore very accurately diagnoses problems from our subconscious.

But the same can be said about adults! Smart reasoning by an adult about himself and his affairs does not clarify, and more often than not only confuses the situation even more. After all "language is used to hide the truth"...

For a more detailed introduction to this basic principle of psychoanalysis, I refer you to the article.

And we move on to the first part of the DDH test - actually, to the drawing Human.

I remind you that the drawing test should be created easily and naturally, without thinking that “You don’t know how to draw.” If you know how to draw, create a drawing in the “naive” style.

Nevertheless, no one should draw a “bummer” hastily either.

When creating a drawing, you need to try, you need to try to put all your momentary mood into it, you need to take your time, but also not worry about the fact that you are not drawing like a real Artist from the Academy.

1. Take a sheet of A4 paper.
2. Take a simple pencil.
3. Draw, slowly, your little man.

Now, if you have finished drawing, carefully study

Key to the test.

The first thing we will do is pay attention to

PENCIL PRESS.

Weak pressure diagnoses

• a) or general physical lethargy
• b) or emotional depression,

Strong pressure diagnoses

• a) strong emotional tension of the moment, or
• b) impetuous, impulsive character in general.

HATCHED/UNHATCHED drawing

Unshaded drawing(white background) means immaturity, infantilism, unwillingness to take responsibility for one’s actions.

A shaded drawing can be shaded in different ways:

Heavily “shaded” drawing (when the shading simply catches the eye) diagnoses:

Preoccupation with a specific problem, fixation on it;
- increased anxiety as a character trait.

Cross Hatching issues

Either hypercontrol (a person constantly controls himself, plays a role, does not take off his mask, does not trust anyone);
- or constant obsessive thoughts and an attempt to fight them.

Erase and correct lines- an attempt to control your anxiety and your behavior

Lines not completed- clinical asthenia, exhaustion of the body.

Lines not hitting the right point- hyperactivity in children, impulsiveness in adults.

Neat lines- the perception of one’s environment as threatening.

FIGURE SIZES

Large figure- anxiety and stress “here and now”,

Giant figure- desire for expansion (filling the whole world with oneself), inability to build boundaries (“Everything yours is mine”), impulsiveness

Small figure- depression, low self-esteem, chronic anxiety

LOCATION OF THE DRAWING ON THE SHEET

Picture above- high self-esteem

Picture below- low self-esteem

Drawing in the corner- guilt, depression

The drawing goes off the sheet- fear (or impulsiveness)

SCHEMATIC OR DETAILED

Lots of different details in the drawing- demonstrativeness or creative imagination(often one and the other are closely intertwined)

A lot of monotonous details in the drawing- it's either:

• a) rigidity (stubbornness, standing one’s ground, lack of interest in innovations),
• b) anxiety “here and now”,
• c) the desire for perfectionism.

The drawing is schematic- absolutely possible different options(attention!):

Asthenia,
- still the same impulsiveness,
- low emotionality,
- isolation as character trait,
- depression “here and now”

FIGURE VIEW (AN FACE, PROFILE...)

The figure stands with its back- negativism, conflict,
Figure in profile- negativism,
Three-quarter figure does not mean anything, it only means the Author’s ability to draw,
Figure face- means nothing.

TYPES

Rich/poor- fixation on the topic of money,
Military- aggressiveness (healthy or not - other details will show),
King, princess- very high self-esteem,
Robots and Aliens- they are drawn by people who experience loneliness in a group, who do not fit into the team, introverts,
Clown, jester- low self-esteem,
Caricature of a man- demonstrativeness, negativism, desire to “get away from the conversation.”

BODY PARTS

If (besides the genitals) any parts of the human body are missing in the picture, are missed - this always means one thing: the person denies the function of this part of the body. For example, by “forgetting” to draw ears, a person shows that he does not want to hear someone or something. This is often interpreted as being closed to criticism. However, this may also mean that a person is simply tired of criticism from a very specific person, and not from criticism in general as such.

Enlargement of any part of the body- always means increased interest in its function,

Distortion on the right side of the picture- non-compliance with social norms and conflicts with people who control these social norms.

Too large body- unsatisfied needs,

Too short torso- low self-esteem.

Too elongated figure can talk about:
- asthenia,
- or about the character of an introvert.

HANDS

Long arms- passion for hoarding,

Short arms:
- introvert character
- tendency not to go all the way, to “retreat”

Hands pressed to the body- strong internal tension,

Hands clenched into fists- an attempt to openly protest,

Palms missing- lack of communication or inability to communicate,

Very large palms- very high dissatisfaction with the need for communication,

Shaded (blackened) hands and fingers- conflict,

LEGS

Long legs- desire for autonomy from other people, family members (desire to escape),

Short legs- depression,

Wide Legs:
- either the character of an extrovert,
- or need for support

Tightly pressed legs- introvert character

Small or unfinished feet:
- impracticality, poor orientation in everyday matters,
- passivity,
- sometimes - dependence on other people.
- clearly drawn legs - self-confidence.

Don't want to or don't know how to draw? No problem! This exercise can be done usingpsychological maps !

Exercise 1 on the “1000 Roads” maps: “Supposedly body parts.”

The need for this exercise is its high environmental friendliness, accuracy and novelty!

So, you remember the “golden basics” of this test: even when drawing a “little man” ineptly, the experimentee must remember to draw everything for the little man, except perhaps the genitals, which, out of modesty and fear of appearing “preoccupied,” usually no one draws and no one sane a psychologist, by the way, won’t require this :)

But! If something “ordinary and decent” is still missing, it means one thing: you are denying the function of that part of the body! There are no ears in the picture - it means that in life I don’t want to listen to anyone...

Let’s trust the Unconscious in the Jungian way and do the same thing, but with the help of the “1000 Roads!” cards

It’s even better - you don’t have to draw and embarrass yourself because you’re ridiculously unable to draw.

This, by the way, (natural shame and irritation from the inability to draw - although psychologists deny this) is one of the reasons for “nervousness in pressing lines”, “evil shading” and the general poor quality of the drawing, including grotesque and satire in the depiction of figures.

It’s not that the client is “neurotic and psychopathic,” it’s just that he, an adult, is naturally infuriated right here and now that he wasn’t taken to drawing as a child, and now he’s being made a fool of and forced to demonstrate his ineptitude in some practice, like running in sacks or catching an apple on a string with your mouth.

Wouldn’t you be enraged by a psychologist’s request to “skate” or “sing something like Lensky’s aria” if you don’t know how to do it? A psychologist should not turn into an animator at a wedding and remember that he needs to work with the client in an environmentally friendly manner and try not to humiliate him with his creative requests to “present something” and other jokes.

That’s why we will work with the “1000 Roads” maps, thus “drawing” the parts of our little man’s body!

***
In our exercise “Body as a whole, Silhouette” there are only the following concepts-Positions:

Torso,

Arms and hands

Legs and feet

“Right” and “left” parts of the picture.

Shall we start?

FIRST POSITION RIGHT AND LEFT PARTS OF THE FIGURE

Ask the client to imagine (present) his Little Man using (spontaneous!!!) “1000 Roads” cards.

Explain to the client that a person (like any object) has a right and left side, separated by an imaginary axis of symmetry.

Explain to the client that a living person is always asymmetrical, because his “left side” is always creative and “magical”, childish, and right side– businesslike, adult, serious and responsible for our communications with the world (and housing and communal services).

Now let the client pull out spontaneously (after thinking well) two cards and put them side by side - to the right and to the left, while saying:

This is how the “childish” part of my Little Man symbolically looks like,

and this is what his Adult side of personality looks like.

It’s as if he was created from these two halves!

Now let's analyze the cards!

How to read "right-left"?

This question is asked often, but here everything is very simple: we always read the drawing the way we, the audience, see it! This is the simplest and most correct (but if your client wants to argue, God bless him, let him read the drawing the way he “sees”).

Do you remember that: " Any distortions on the right side of the picture mean non-compliance with social norms and conflicts with people who control these social norms.".

What card did the client's hand draw? Harmonious? Peaceful? Or aggressive, problematic? How does the client interpret this card? (This is the most important thing!)

So what is his relationship with the norms of society and with society in general? How does he resolve conflicts? How do you generally treat people? Are there people on this map at all?

Now is the time to carry out therapy - after all, you have seen the problems with your own eyes!

Together with the client, come up with a mini-fairy tale based on this card, the purpose of which is to extinguish the conflict, calm fears - help the client with this! A fairy tale based on a problem card may begin “for peace,” but it must end “for health”!

***
And now we also analyze the “left” – the creative and childish-magical side of our Little Man.

What are our girls made of?..

What is the client’s imagination and “spiritual thoughts”, humor and “flight of consciousness”? By analogy, notice the problems of the second card (if any), listen to the client’s story about the card and compose a second, healing fairy tale with him.

Is symmetry harmonious?

You should be wary if both cards of the client are “adult”, or both are “fantastic”. In the first case, he himself blocked his channel of miracles, self-healing and growth, in the second case, he is simply unable to withstand the battle with housing and communal services, even the simplest one.

When writing fairy tales, level the balance, joyfully “ground” the card that requires healthy down-to-earthness (show the client that society is also healthy and not painful), and “raise” the card that requires Fairy Tales and Dreams.

SECOND POSITION ARM LEGS TORSO

The first two cards are like the “coat of arms” of your Little Man. They are displayed at the top of the table as a symbol of work, like a banner on a tower.

Now ask the client “ fold a man" from the cards "1000 Roads": body, two arms and two legs.

Let the client think slowly, savorily, tastefully, and say out loud: “Here are his hands (both cards are pulled at the same time), here are his legs, here is his white body...”

Now we look at the cards and remember the basics, adapting them (essentially) to our new work.

Legs. Legs are the most important thing.

“What does the little man stand on?” What is its support – symbolic, philosophical? Is it good for him where he finds himself (isn’t it a swamp)? Is it clean and safe? (Ask the client how he likes it). And who is there on the map - lying with his legs up in the air? Why doesn’t he use his legs for their intended purpose? Are you tired or something? From what?

Who left traces here? And who has been standing here for three hours, shifting from foot to foot?

And who here flies on wings without legs? Who's riding in a carriage using the legs of a horse?

Legs are grounding and support, lack of fear of existence, clarity and audacity, the ability to live and survive, not to fall face down in the mud.

Sometimes the weakness of the legs is compensated by something else (fantastic wings, for example, or a carriage with horses - you take me).

Your task is to find out how well this “other” compensates the client for the weakness of his “real legs”?.. Maybe it doesn’t compensate at all?

The client should tell the Story on the card, and you should record whether he has problems with the topics “Legs”, “Stability”, “Confident Movement” and “Grounding”.

How to strengthen a client’s legs? Correct his Story as you see fit, using in the story symbols and images of feet, shoes, magical medicines and potions - according to your feeling and spontaneous insight. The client must have legs. Strong. And walkers.

Hands

Hands are an attitude towards money and property, towards hoarding and greed. And also the attitude towards aggression, towards war, towards weapons. And finally, to communication, to friendship, to mutual assistance.

In general, there are hands: raking, pounding the head with fists and, finally, outstretched in a friendly manner, with a tangerine in an open palm...

And what kind of hands does your client have? What do the two "1000 Roads" cards say? What can be fixed here? How many sessions?

Torso. Heart or Womb?...

There are people whose heart is so huge that it takes up their entire body. And there are people for whom the main thing is their belly, their belly. And it’s best if everything is equal. And if not, then we either have an obnoxious hysteric or an animal, stupid and also obnoxious.

Your client pulled out one card - the torso of the Man. What does the "1000 Roads" map say? What does the client himself say about it? What is more there - heart or belly? Balance, psychologist, balance the client’s balance!

Ask the client: “What and how do your lovers eat?” Let him answer in detail.

Ask: “What does your billionaire dream about, what does he sometimes cry about?”

Exercise-2 Putting the Man’s Head or “Types”

So, we have everything ready, all that remains is to put the head on the shoulders. The head is a social thing... Therefore, we take the “1000 Lives” deck.

Let the client (after thinking carefully and taking a sacred pause) pull out the head of his Little Man at random from the “1000 Lives” deck! Ta-da-da-damm!!

And now the client must say a few words about his person. Pay attention to the following points:

theme “rich/poor” – the client is fixated on the topic of money,

theme “kings, monarchs, princesses and queens” – the client has high self-esteem, is childish,

the topic “military” is aggressiveness, but whether it is healthy, constructive or not, you will understand

the theme of any “fantastic fictional creatures”, “cyborgs” - the client is very lonely and a strong introvert, it is difficult to get him to talk, he is vulnerable,

theme “not a person but a caricature of decent person, criminal, scoundrel and scoundrel” - strong negativism in general, reluctance to work with a psychologist.

In general, you better look not at the diagram, but listen to what the client himself says! You can adjust the “head” of the man in the same way as in the previous part of the work!

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 most simple method testing is considered 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. Ideal option The use of pastel colors is considered.
• 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 prefer 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 us 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 it grows in your house hyperactive child, then such an 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, carry out general analysis what your child drew. 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 means that your baby is quite unwell. emotional state, indicating terrible moral well-being. As for the house, it should also be as realistic as possible. Of course small child It is unlikely that he will 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 person’s closedness, 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 indispensability.

• 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.

• 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 depicted little man has a very big head, then this indicates a desire to dominate others. A head that is too small shows that the 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 dimensions of the neck can also tell about the internal psychological problems Oh. 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. Availability too big eyes indicates the rudeness and assertiveness of the person being tested. But beautiful and fluffy eyelashes reveal a flirtatious person who loves the attention of the opposite sex.

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 life difficulties and always goes towards the set 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 for your child or just one of the adult family members, remember that in order to get the maximum exact result, you need to give a person complete freedom of thoughts. 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 personality as well as possible. inner world. 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). Also you should be interested not entirely correct location 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.

So, in order for the test results to be as accurate as possible, You cannot read the key before you draw the task. This is in your best interest, so show some willpower and Don't look at the answers ahead of time.

Stage 1. Take a sheet of paper (or draw on graphic editor not important on a computer). Draw a composition on the sheet, a complete picture on which the following will be located: house, lake, tree, sun, road, fence and snake.

Stage 2. After completing the drawing, look at the clue and decipher the picture.

Tree it's you. This object shows a person’s self-esteem: the larger the tree in the general scale of the picture, the more confident the person is. If the branches of a tree stretch upward, you are an optimist, a sociable and cheerful person; if the branches of a tree stretch downwards, you are a pessimist, or you just have Bad mood at the time of taking the test.

House a person's attitude towards money. A large and complex house in the picture means that the material assets. If the house is small, for example, wooden, one-story, money is not the main thing for you. Someone who drew a cottage with many detailed details can be considered a materialist.

Lake represents mother. How close the lake is to the tree determines how close your mother is to you. If the lake is in the picture large sizes, it means your mother is an authority for you, if her small opinion is not decisive for you in life, or you already have your own children.

Sun symbolizes the father. A drawn sun over a tree means that the father is a protector, you feel calm and comfortable with him. If the sun is somewhere behind a tree, breaking through from behind it, the father is not the main person for you. The further the sun is from the tree, the less your father means to you in life. The sun, which is not completely depicted in the corner of the sheet, may mean that you grew up without a father.

Road this is your career. If you draw a straight and wide road, this means success in your activity. A narrow and winding path of complexity in business. If a wide road leads to your home, it means that you have achieved a lot in life. A drawn road that goes beyond the edge of the picture in search of one’s place in life.

Snake your attitude towards sex. The larger it is, the more important sex is to you. If you drew a snake far from the tree, on the edge of the sheet you are dissatisfied with sex. A sinuous, carefully drawn snake signifies diversity intimate life person.

Fence it's your character. If you drew an ordinary wooden fence, you are kind and honest man. If the fence is iron and has sharp bars, yours is not easy, difficult character. A stone fence shows that a person is strong and strong-willed.

Addition

The arrangement of objects and their proximity has great value. If the house is drawn across the road from the tree, your material path is only at the start or there are obstacles.
The sun is over the lake, and there is a tree nearby - a harmonious family.
Drawn next to the tree beautiful snake, which does not touch the lake, there are conditions for sex (you live separately).
The tree and the lake are separated by a fence because of an insult to the mother or a quarrel with her.
