Elephant vs. Ant This great disparity is the reason why speaking out a new thought doesn't turn your beliefs around in one fell swoop. Even repeatedly repeated new installations, like the so-called affirmations, often do not work on their own. Why?

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

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

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

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

For a more detailed acquaintance with this elementary position of psychoanalysis, I refer you to the article.

And we are moving on to the first part of the DCH test - in fact, to the drawing Human.

I remind you that the drawing test should be created easily and naturally, without thinking that "You can't draw." If you can draw, create a naive drawing.

Nevertheless - to draw "tyap-blunder", hastily - also nobody should.

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 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.

And now, if you have finished drawing, carefully study

Key to the test.

The first thing we will do is pay attention to

PRESS THE PENCIL.

Weak pressure diagnoses

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

Strong pressure diagnoses

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

HATCHED/UNHATCHED pattern

unshaded drawing(white background) means immaturity, infantilism, unwillingness to be responsible for one's actions.

A shaded drawing can be shaded in different ways:

Heavily "shaded" drawing (when the shading is simply striking) diagnoses:

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

cross hatching issues

Or 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 deal with them.

Erasing and correcting lines- trying to control one's anxiety and behavior

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

Lines that don't hit the right spot- hyperactivity in children, impulsivity in adults.

Neatness of lines- perception of one's environment as a threat.

FIGURE DIMENSIONS

big figure- anxiety and stress "here and now",

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

small figure depression, low self-esteem, chronic anxiety

LOCATION OF THE PICTURE ON THE SHEET

Picture above- a high self-evaluation

Picture below- low self-esteem

Drawing in the corner- feelings of guilt, depression

Drawing goes off the sheet- fear (or impulsiveness)

SCHEMATIC OR DETAILS

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

Lots of similar details in the drawing. is either:

• a) rigidity (stubbornness, standing “on your own”, lack of interest in innovations),
• b) anxiety "here and now",
• c) striving for perfectionism.

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

Asthenia,
- the same impulsiveness,
- low emotionality
- isolation as a character trait,
- depression "here and now"

VIEW OF THE FIGURE (AN FAS, PROFILE...)

The figure stands with its back- negativism, conflict,
Figure in profile- negativism
Three-quarter figure does not mean anything, it means only the ability of the Author 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,
Cartoon image of a man- demonstrativeness, negativism, the desire to "get away from the conversation."

BODY PARTS

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

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

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

Too big body- dissatisfaction of needs,

Too short body- low self-esteem.

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

ARMS

Long hands- Passion for hoarding

Short arms:
- the nature of an introvert,
- a tendency to not 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 run away),

Short legs- depression,

Widely spaced legs:
- either the character of an extrovert,
- or the need for support

Tightly knitted legs- the nature of an introvert,

Small or not traced feet:
- impracticality, poor orientation in everyday matters,
- passivity
- sometimes - dependence on other people.
- clearly traced legs - self-confidence.

Exercise 1 on the cards "1000 Roads": "Allegedly 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” clumsily, the experimenter must not forget to draw everything for the little man, except perhaps the genitals, which, out of modesty and fear of seeming “preoccupied”, usually no one draws and no one sane a psychologist, by the way, does not require this :)

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

And let's trust the Unconscious in Jungian style and do the same, but with the help of the cards "1000 Roads!"

It's even better - no need to draw and shame on the fact that you can't draw ridiculously.

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

It’s not the client who is “neurotic and psychopathic”, it’s just that he, an adult, is naturally infuriated right here and now that he was not taken to draw as a child, but now they are making a fool of him and making him demonstrate his ineptitude in some kind of practice, like running in bags or catching an apple on a string with your mouth.

Wouldn’t the psychologist’s request to “skate” or “sing about Lensky’s aria” if you don’t know how, wouldn’t infuriate you? A psychologist should not turn into an animator at a wedding and remember that you need to work with a client in an environmentally friendly way and try not to humiliate him with your creative requests to “imagine something” and other jokes.

That's why we will work with the cards "1000 Roads", thus "drawing" the body parts of our little man!

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

torso,

hands and hands,

Legs and feet

"Right" and "left" part of the picture.

Shall we start?

FIRST POSITION RIGHT AND LEFT PARTS OF THE PICTURE

Ask the client to present (present) his Little Man with the help of (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 “magic”, childish, and his right side is businesslike, adult, serious and responsible for our communications with the world (and utilities).

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

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

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

It is as if created from these two halves!

Now let's analyze the cards!

How to read "right-left"?

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

Do you remember that: Any distortion on the right side of the picture means 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? (It is most important!)

So what are its relations with the norms of society and with society in general? How does he resolve conflicts? How does he treat people in general? Are there people on this map at all?

Now is the time to do therapy - after all, you saw the problems with your own eyes!

Together with the client, come up with a mini-fairy tale on this card, the purpose of which is to extinguish the conflict, calm fears - help the client with this! A fairy tale on a problematic map may begin “for the rest”, 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 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 alerted if both cards of the client are “adult”, or both are “fantastic”. In the first case, he himself blocked the 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, balance the balance, joyfully "ground" the card that requires healthy grounding (show the client that society is also healthy and does not hurt), and "elevate" the card that requires Fairy Tale and Dreams.

SECOND POSITION ARMS LEGS TRUNK

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

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

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

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

Legs. The legs are the most important.

"What does the little man stand on?" What is its support - symbolic, philosophical? Is it good for him where he found himself (isn't it a swamp)? Is it clean, is it safe? (Ask the client how he likes it). And who is there on the map - lying with his legs up? Why does he not use his legs for their intended purpose, is he tired or something? From what?

And 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? And who here rides in a carriage using the legs of a horse?

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

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

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

The client has to tell the Story on the map, and you register if he has problems on those “Legs”, “Stability”, “Movement Confidently” and “Grounding”.

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

Arms

Hands are an attitude to money and property, to hoarding and greed. As well as the attitude to aggression, to war, to armament. And finally, to communication, to friendship, to mutual assistance.

In general, there are hands: raking, beating on the head with fists and, finally, friendly outstretched, 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? For how many sessions?

Torso. Heart or Womb?...

There are people whose heart is so huge that it occupies the entire body. And there are people for whom the main thing is the belly, the womb. And best of all, if everything is equal. And if not, then we have either an unbearable hysteric or an animal, stupid and also unbearable.

Your client has drawn one card - the torso of the Little Man. What does the 1000 Roads card say? And what does the client say about it? What is there more - the heart or the belly? Balance, psychologist, balance the client's balance!

Ask the client: "What and how do your lovers eat?" Let me answer in detail.

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

Exercise-2 We sit the Man's Head or "Types"

So, we have everything ready, it remains to put our heads on our shoulders. The head is a social thing... Therefore, we take the "1000 Lives" deck.

Let the client (after thinking and making a sacred pause) randomly pull out the head of his Little Man from the deck of "1000 Lives"! Ta-da-da-damm!!

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

the topic "rich man / poor man" - the client is obsessed with the topic of money,

the topic “kings, monarchs, princesses and queens” - the client has an overestimated self-esteem, is infantile,

the topic “military” is aggressiveness, and 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 talk to him, he is vulnerable,

the theme “not a person but a caricature of a decent person, a criminal, a scoundrel and a scoundrel” is a strong negativism in general, an unwillingness to work with a psychologist.

In general, it’s better for you to look not at the diagram, but listen to what the client himself says! You can adjust the "head" of the little man in the same way as in the previous part of the work!

Elena Nazarenko

Each person would like to know the secrets of his character and see himself from the outside. The best way for self-knowledge is a psychological projection drawing, which will reflect all the features of your personality.

When we do something that we don’t think about, the result shows not the logical, but the emotional side of the brain. Our experiences, joy, anger and everything else can erupt unconsciously projected on paper.

You will need privacy to take the test below. No one should distract you from the process. Take piece of paper, preferably A4, handle or pencil. Divide the sheet into equal four parts and number them so that it looks something like this:

The final preparation of the sheet will look like this:

• in the first sector, draw a dot in the middle
• in the second sector draw a small square or rectangle
• in the third sector there should be something similar to the "=" sign
• the fourth sector remains empty

You should get something similar:

So, free your thoughts, there will be no difficult tasks - draw only what comes to your mind right away.

In the first three sectors, just draw what you want. Draw what you feel without thinking. You don't need to draw something complicated - spend about 10 seconds per sector. After that, move on to the last task.

In the fourth sector, draw a boat that floats on the waves. The drawing should also be primitive - also do not spend a lot of time on it.

Deciphering the drawings

Sector one

This section represents your isolation or openness. If there are round figures in this sector, then you are a closed person. The same applies, for example, to a drawn spiral leading to the center (point). If you just drew a lot of dots, then you are very sociable and open. Roughly speaking, the more elements you applied, the better. The only exception is circles. They should be as few as possible.

Sector two

This section shows you kindness and responsiveness, as well as the level selfishness. You can consider yourself a kind person if what you have drawn is somehow connected to the original rectangle. The smaller the contact area, the more selfish you are. Open people often draw a wall, which indicates their focus on the company and the team. Many draw a house, which is also very good. If your drawing does not touch the rectangle, then this indicates that you need to think - maybe you are selfish.

Sector three

This sector will show how you consider yourself successful or successful with the opposite sex - is it easy for you to communicate and flirt. There should be as few drawing elements as possible and they should not touch the equal sign (as most people call it). People who are satisfied with their relationship with the opposite sex usually draw a smiley face to make something like "=)". Worst of all, if the drawing turns out to be symmetrical and heavily piled up, this is an indicator of your self-doubt in communicating with the opposite sex.

Sector four

Everything is extremely simple here. This sector shows you what you are in love and in relations. If the sea turned out to be restless, then you prefer a dynamic love that breaks your head. If the sea is calm, then love for you is calm, warm and only pleasant, ordered emotions. As for the boat itself, you should pay attention to whether it is difficult to draw, as well as what is happening around it. Any excesses like sails or people (which were not discussed), stars, living creatures, the Moon, the Sun - speak of your romance. If none of this is there, then you are strong in character, and romance is alien to you.

Thus, the simplest at first glance test can show each person his true face. Psychological personality tests of this kind are the most accurate, since the test subject does not need to think - he is driven only by the emotional part of the brain. We wish you good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and

Psychology deals with the study of human nature and can explain various forms of human behavior. Such an opportunity as a study of the characteristic features of a person from drawings has grown into a whole methodology. Exploratory tests are suitable for both children and adults. The techniques are extremely simple and do not require special preparation for implementation. The results are striking in their accuracy. What are the most common psychological tests on unconscious drawings?

Drawing test "Draw a house"

The task of the test is easy to understand based on the name of the psychological test. It is also easy to interpret the results from the drawings, the human psychology is arranged in such a way that he himself, without implying it, will tell about his inner world.

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

Drawing test "Choose a shape"

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 in the first place put square. Such people always with perseverance and diligence bring what they started to the end, they have an excellent memory and a sense of responsibility. Idealists do not lose sight of any details and love to "put everything on the shelves." Undoubtedly, such qualities are useful at work, but they interfere very much in personal life. Family happiness is guaranteed if you manage to find a soul mate with the same character.

Triangle choose true leaders, 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, do not change the decisions made and do not know how to admit their own mistakes. All life passes in rivalry and struggle for the 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.

Those who chose a circle always striving 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, they are very sensitive and insightful. Psychology can become their life's work.

Open zigzag- preference for creative creative natures. Often they are expressive and eccentric, almost always naive and impractical. Excellent intuition, a subtle sense of humor and the ability to find a common language with everyone compensate for the shortcomings.

Drawing test "What do scribbles conceal?"

Involuntary driving with 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"

A very interesting and easy-to-perform psychological test, which in the end can give significant answers to many life questions. To carry out, you will need a pen (or pencil), a clean sheet 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 point, in the upper right sector - a rectangle, in the lower left part the “=” sign is displayed, and the lower right part remains empty. Now you need to discard all extraneous thoughts, calm down and proceed to the test. To do this, you need to draw in the first three fields everything that first comes to mind. You should not spend effort on masterpiece paintings, let it take no more than 15 seconds for 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 figure talks about interacting with the environment. If more dots or other small disparate details were added, then we are talking about a sociable open personality. And spirals, circles, ovals indicate a closed alienated person.
2. Right top drawing reveals the inner self. Selfish natures try to reduce the area of ​​​​contact of the picture with the rectangle, or generally draw elements away from the figure. Good-natured, sociable people associate their image with the proposed one. Most often it is a wall, a parallelepiped, a brick. Altruists, as a rule, draw a 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 heaped pyramids of various symbols 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 frills and intricacies. Passionate dreamers rushing into feelings as if into a whirlpool, without a doubt, will draw a raging sea, on the waves of which the boat of love is swinging.

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

The art of interpreting drawing tests requires familiarity with a large number of different options for completing tasks.
In order to successfully carry out psychological diagnostics using Russian methods, it is not enough to know the value of certain test indicators. It is also necessary to master the general logic of analysis, which makes it possible to consider these indicators in their interrelations. Otherwise, instead of a complete picture, we will get an unsystematic set of psychological characteristics. For example, such evaluation criteria are given as: "The eyes are bulging - rudeness, callousness ... Eyebrows are rare, short - contempt, sophistication." However, the indicators taken into account when interpreting drawing tests are not unambiguous. So, bulging eyes can appear in the picture not only as a result of rudeness, callousness, but also as a symptom of the presence of fears or as a manifestation of a suspicious attitude towards others. Very often the same feature can be interpreted in two, three or four different ways, depending on what other features it is combined with.
