TEST
"Constructive drawing of a man from geometric shapes»

Instructions

Please draw a human figure made up of 10 elements, which may include triangles, circles, and squares. You can increase or decrease these elements (geometric shapes) in size and overlap each other as needed.

It is important that all these three elements are present in the image of a person, and the sum of the total number of figures used is equal to 10. If when drawing you used large quantity figures, then you need to cross out the extra ones, but if you have used less than 10 figures, you need to complete the missing ones.

Key to the test “Constructive drawing of a person from geometric shapes”

Description

The test “Constructive drawing of a person from geometric figures” is intended to identify individual typological differences.

The employee is offered three sheets of paper measuring 10 × 10 cm. Each sheet is numbered and signed. On the first sheet, the first test drawing is made, then, accordingly, on the second sheet - the second, on the third sheet - the third.

The employee needs to draw a human figure on each sheet, made up of 10 elements, which may include triangles, circles, and squares. An employee can increase or decrease these elements (geometric shapes) in size and overlap each other as needed. It is important that all these three elements are present in the image of a person, and the sum of the total number of figures used is equal to 10.

If an employee used a larger number of shapes when drawing, then he needs to cross out the extra ones, but if he used fewer than 10 shapes, he needs to complete the missing ones.

If the instructions are violated, the data will not be processed.

Example of drawings made by three assessees

Processing the result

Count the number of triangles, circles and squares used in the image of a man (for each picture separately). Write the result as three-digit numbers, where:

• hundreds indicate the number of triangles;
• tens – number of circles;
• units – number of squares.

These three-digit numbers make up the so-called drawing formula, according to which those drawing are assigned to the corresponding types and subtypes.

Interpretation of the result

Own empirical studies, in which more than 2000 drawings were obtained and analyzed, showed that the relationship of various elements in structural drawings is not accidental. The analysis allows us to identify eight main types, which correspond to certain typological characteristics.

The interpretation of the test is based on the fact that the geometric shapes used in the drawings differ in semantics:

• the triangle is usually referred to as a sharp, offensive figure associated with the masculine principle;
• circle – a streamlined figure, more in tune with sympathy, softness, roundness, femininity;
• a square, a rectangle are interpreted as a specifically technical structural figure, a technical module.

Typology based on the preference for geometric shapes allows us to form a kind of system of individual typological differences.

Types

Type I – leader

Drawing formulas: 901, 910, 802, 811, 820, 703, 712, 721, 730, 604, 613, 622, 631, 640. Dominance over others is most severely expressed in subtypes 901, 910, 802, 811, 820; situationally - at 703, 712, 721, 730; when influencing people with speech - verbal leader or teaching subtype - 604, 613, 622, 631, 640.

They have good adaptation to social sphere, dominance over others is kept within certain boundaries.

It must be remembered that the manifestation of these qualities depends on the level of mental development. At a high level of development, individual developmental traits are realizable and quite well understood.

At low levels they may not be detected in professional activity, and to be present situationally is worse if it is inadequate to the situations. This applies to all characteristics.

Need encouragement.

In addition, 415 - “poetic subtype” - usually persons who have such a drawing formula have poetic talent; 424 – a subtype of people recognized by the phrase “How can you work poorly? I can’t imagine how it could work poorly.” People of this type are particularly careful in their work.

IV type – scientist

Drawing formulas: 307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370.

Often found among people with a technical streak. These are people with a rich imagination, spatial vision, and often engage in various types technical, artistic and intellectual creativity. More often they are introverted, just like the intuitive type, they live by their own moral standards, and do not accept any outside influences other than self-control. Emotional, self-obsessed original ideas.

The following subtypes are also distinguished:

019 – found among people who have good command of the audience;

118 is the type with the most pronounced design capabilities and ability to invent.

VII type – emotive

They have increased empathy towards others, have a hard time dealing with cruel scenes of the film, and can be unsettled for a long time and shocked by cruel events. The pains and worries of other people find in them participation, empathy and sympathy, on which they spend a lot of their own energy, as a result it becomes difficult to realize their own abilities.

Type VIII – the opposite of emotive

Drawing formulas: 901, 802, 703, 604, 505, 406, 307, 208, 109.

This type of people has the opposite tendency to the emotive type. Usually does not feel the experiences of other people, or treats them with inattention, or even increases pressure on people. If this good specialist, then he can force others to do what he sees fit. Sometimes it is characterized by callousness, which arises situationally when, for some reason, a person becomes isolated in the circle of his own problems.

The method of drawing people from geometric shapes has been used in psychology for a long time. Some believe that it was proposed by graphologist from San Francisco E. Mahoney. But, unfortunately, no data were found to confirm this. Systematic study of the results obtained by this test, started relatively recently. Large collection This kind of drawings was collected by A.V. Libin.

The purpose of the test is to determine the individual typological characteristics of a person based on the relationship of geometric shapes in the drawing, as well as graphic features its implementation.

Instructions: draw a man from ten geometric shapes - a triangle, a circle and a square. The shapes can be increased or decreased in size, or superimposed on each other. It is important that they are all used in the drawing, that is, you cannot draw a person from 10 squares, 10 triangles or 10 circles.

Data processing: count how many triangles, circles and squares you have in the drawing of a man, and write down this number as a three-digit number, for example: triangles - 3, circles - 2, squares - 5. The resulting number is: 325. Thus, we get a three-digit number that represents the “drawing formula.”

Based on the differences in preferences for geometric shapes when making drawings of people, eight main types (or groups) and 63 subtypes are formed.

If you get a number from this series: 901, 910, 802, 811, 820, 703, 712, 721, 604, 613, 622, 631, 640 - you are one of the Type 1 “Leader”.

Numbers: 505, 514, 523, 532, 541, 550 - Type 2 “Responsible Executive”.

Numbers: 406, 415, 424, 433, 442, 451, 460 - Type 3 “Anxious and suspicious.”

Numbers: 307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370 - Type 4 "Scientist".

Numbers: 208, 217, 226, 235, 244, 253, 262, 271, 280 - Type 5 "Intuitive".

Numbers: 109, 118, 127, 136, 145, 019, 028, 037, 046 - Type 6 “Inventor, designer.”

Numbers: 550, 451, 460, 352, 361, 370, 253, 262, 271, 280,154, 163, 172, 181, 190, 055, 064, 073, 082, 091 - Type 7 "emotive".

Numbers: 901, 802, 703, 604, 505, 406, 307, 208, 109 - Type 8 is “the opposite of emotive.”

Some comments on the psychological portrait can be made based on the features of the images of the little men:

The small size of the drawings may be associated with fatigue, stiffness, and discomfort;

Increased shading - with internal tension, suspicion, sometimes with state
pre-diseases;

Facial drawing is often associated with increased sociability, and its absence is associated with difficulties in communication, which is advisable to find out;

The presence of a “neck” in a person often indicates a person’s high vulnerability, which makes communication difficult and which it is advisable to get rid of;

The presence of square pockets on the human body may indicate increased care towards children;

The presence of round “buttons” indicates compassionate care for older loved ones;

The presence of “triangles” indicates the need to make some order or instructions.

Key to the test “Drawing a man from geometric shapes”:

Type 1 – “Manager” (901, 910, 802, 811, 820, 703, 712, 721, 604, 613, 622, 631, 640). A “leader” is characterized by the presence of organizational and oratorical abilities, an orientation towards social norms of behavior, and a high level of social adaptation. Persons of this type have pronounced goal-oriented behavior, which characterizes them as leaders. In achieving their goals, they may not take their health into account and are stress-resistant. Oratory skills and the ability to be a good storyteller allow them to engage in teaching and pedagogical activities. Their will and energy are visible to everyone, since they represent their most striking qualities. The ability for intense volitional effort, long-term and sustainable, is reflected in their inner life and external behavior. Their firmness, perseverance, endurance and self-control puts them in the center of attention of others. They always have a clear awareness of what they want, what they are striving for and what ways they can achieve what they want. These are people in whom nature itself has invested the ability to influence other people, directing them according to its plans and intentions. The ability for energetic and prolonged tension, the ability to fight for their interests, self-control and resistance contribute to the fact that these people usually become talented administrators, representatives of the executive branch, and business leaders. People of this type have to revise their conclusions and redo their projects many times before they are finally convinced of their correctness. Hence their well-known conservatism, their disapproving attitude towards “shaking the foundations”, towards criticism of established principles. When we're talking about about doing what they consider their duty, then neither personal temptations nor requests from loved ones are able to turn them away from the chosen path, which seems to them the only correct one. They have a particularly developed sense of self-esteem, sometimes turning into strong pride and conceit from the fact that a person striving for power and forced to enter into a fight with others because of this cannot help but protect his “I” from attacks.

Type 2 - “Responsible Executive” (505, 514, 523, 532, 541, 550). Has many traits similar to the “leader” type, but often hesitates in making important decisions. People of this type usually have high level professionalism. They are characterized by increased demands on themselves and others. The predominance of deliberate and rational actions over all mental movements leaves a peculiar imprint on all personality traits. People of this type can often be found among the owners and managers of commercial and industrial enterprises, banks, i.e. among people who deal with an organization made up of large number logistical facilities and documentation, which requires not only hard work, but also intelligence to conduct and maintain affairs in order.
Caution and prudence help them to be economical and thrifty, and their stability and constancy contribute to the strength of the business, which they develop slowly but surely. They do not take risks, despite the brilliant prospects that open up, but prefer to act for sure. They are conservative in politics or moderately liberal, never following extreme views. Prudent restraint and prudence are characteristic of them in matters of love and marriage. They are able to subordinate their love interests to the demands of reason. Possessing a fairly developed intellect and will, they are well versed in the realities of life and their affairs, which they carry out with great care. They are often lovers of truth. Due to increased demands on themselves, they can work without noticing fatigue, undermining their health. Diseases of nervous origin are their frequent companions. Therefore, “responsible executors” need to carefully monitor compliance with the work and rest regime.

Type 3 - “Anxious and suspicious” (406, 415, 424, 433, 442, 451, 460).

This type is characterized by a variety of abilities - from literary to abilities for precise manual skills. Despite the abundance of talents, he needs gentle encouragement, as he often unreasonably does not believe in his own abilities and doubts himself. The “anxious-suspicious” type has increased attention to order and cleanliness, physically not accepting dirt and disorder. People of this type can change their profession unexpectedly for others. Usually they are closely confined to one specialty; they have a hobby in which they are very successful. Often this new profession for them it becomes art. Therefore, we can see how a doctor becomes a singer or entertainer, a former construction worker goes on stage and reads skits, and a magazine editor begins to create arts and crafts. There are often cases when people of this type show their extraordinary abilities in other forms of art, for example, a musician has a penchant for painting or sculpture, a poet is interested in music,
the actor improves his vocal skills, etc.

For people of this type, the pursuit of art is essential, it constitutes the epicenter of their life, which absorbs them. They devote most of their time to art. This is also due to the peculiarity of their emotional sphere, which is strongly influenced by their fantasies. Possessing the ability for subtle aesthetic experiences, they prefer aesthetic pleasures to everything else. They are distinguished by observation, lively receptivity, developed imagination, and their heightened powers of observation allow them to notice a lot of things that escape the eyes of others.

415 - poetic subtype, characteristic of people capable of versification and poetic talent.

424 - this subtype is distinguished by the fact that everything it undertakes is done with extreme care.

Type 4 - “Scientist” (307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370). People of this type can easily abstract from reality in their judgments, make interesting theoretical generalizations, and “have their own theory for everything.” As a rule, they have a tendency towards clear, consistent thinking, which results in the ability to establish patterns, connections and relationships between what is happening. These people can often be found in a state of thoughtful and intense thought. Analyzing facts, they can, if persistent and methodical, make generalizations, turning a chaotic pile of material into a harmonious, developed edifice of science, if science is their hobby or profession. This kind of ability helps people take their rightful place in various areas activities. Thus, a politician with a scientific mindset will be valuable because he is well versed in the complex interaction of factors influencing public life. The teacher can understand complex processes students’ assimilation of knowledge, and a businessman to take into account the most risky circumstances in his transactions.

People of this type, having ideological interests that they work on consciously and persistently, often strive in their careers to scientific activity, summarizing your professional experience with a dissertation or book. They are rational and carefully think through their behavior. However, despite all their rationality, they have very significant artistic abilities, do not get lost on stage, and know what needs to be done when asked to “play something.” They gravitate toward “synthetic” forms of art: theater, cinema, circus, and stage.

316 - in the field of science, these are, as a rule, “global theorists” who deal with interdisciplinary, methodological or scientific problems; in practice, such people usually make excellent coordinators of various services.

325 - a subtype with this combination often gravitates towards biology, medicine, botany. Loves growing plants and caring for animals.

235 - a subtype often found among psychologists;

217 - a subtype characterized by the ability to technical invention.

244 is a subtype common among people who write scripts and instructions.

226 - a subtype characterized by setting the highest bar in one's achievements, as well as high criteria for evaluating other people.

Type 6- “Inventor, designer” (109, 118, 127, 136, 145, 019,028, 037, 046). People of this type have a “technical flair”, a rich imagination, spatial vision, are often engaged in some technical types of creativity, are engaged in technical professions, and are prone to design and invention. They adhere to the social norms that they create for themselves. More focused on subject activity. Emotional, obsessed with their own original ideas. Sometimes their creativity manifests itself not only in the technical, materialized sphere, but also in the intellectual sphere, the sphere of ideas. People of this type have good memory and observation skills. They are usually more interested in the external material world than in subjective experiences. Facts in their eyes are of much greater value than reasoning and theories. Their will and energy are directed towards the materialization of ideas, inventions, rationalization, and reconstruction of technical objects. Possessing great ability to work, they often achieve significant results in their chosen activities. Their home usually has a lot of tools, since their penchant for tinkering, fixing, and repairing is often not only their profession, but also their hobby.

019 - a subtype that has the ability to interact with an audience in interesting ways, for example, an inimitable entertainer.

145 - a subtype that is keen on composing or loves to sing, often has a musical education.

Type 7 – “emotive” (550, 451, 460, 352, 361, 370, 253, 262, 271, 280,154, 163, 172, 181, 190, 055, 064, 073,082, 091). People of this type have increased empathy towards other people. They are soft and kind-hearted. They find it difficult to endure cruel film footage or excerpts from criminal chronicles, and are especially sensitive to the misfortunes of others, so much so that any unpleasant news or events can unsettle them for a long time. The pain and suffering of other people resonates with them with particular force; it takes a lot of energy, which often prevents them from realizing their potential. People of this type have strong emotional memory, depth and stability of feelings. They have warmth, cordiality and responsiveness, seeing their purpose in helping people in grief and need.

The peculiarities of their mental makeup make it possible to call these people altruists, capable of self-sacrifice. They are distinguished by modesty, trying to belittle and hide their merits, their importance, not counting on praise from others. Meek, sensitive and delicate, they are incapable of either being offended themselves or offending others. But when it comes to their personal spiritual convictions, they can be adamant, do not give in to threats and do not retreat one step from what they consider fair. They have the ability to intuitively penetrate into the mental life and mental makeup of another person. They believe in the possibility of enlightenment and the ideological and moral regeneration of humanity and have a ardent and selfless love for people suffering need and deprivation. They are active and energetic in implementing ideas that deeply captivate them. Their mercy often knows no bounds.

Type 8 - having properties opposite to the emotive type (901, 802, 703, 604, 505, 406, 307, 208, 109). These are people who feel compassion for others, but adhere to fairly strict requirements. Thus, outwardly there is sympathy for others, but in specific cases they show strict demands, sometimes excessive. These make extremely demanding teachers who will “force” you to do what needs to be done, regardless of resistance, illnesses and other reasons cited by their students. They can be found among directors who are said to be “despots”, among managers who are extremely demanding of their subordinates. People of this type can often be found behind the store counter. They tend to show their authority, even rudeness. These are their ways of self-affirmation. They have a good sense of people they can “put pressure on” and do not hesitate to do so. The desire to rise in life at any cost, to make a career, forces people of this type to concentrate all their energy and intellectual capabilities to achieve their goals, often using cunning, hypocrisy and resourcefulness. Possessing wounded pride, sometimes they see insult, ridicule or mockery in the simplest and most innocent jokes. They can be vindictive and seek revenge on the offender.

This projective psychogeometric online test created on the basis of modification by psychoanalyst A.F. Ermoshin of the Libins' ideographic test. The test is based on a combination of three principles of psychographic personality analysis:

• preferences for the semantics of basic geometric shapes
• design drawings
• psychographic image of the human figure

After passing the test, you will find out your personality type and its description, as well as expert assessment, relationships with the opposite sex, your general psychological status and the self-description of people with the same mental type as you (perhaps you say something similar).

Test instructions

Can you make animals from geometric shapes?

Never tried it?

Then it’s worth looking at the pictures on the website, where various animals are made from geometric shapes. Offer these drawings to your children: they will surely appreciate their originality.

How to use pictures when working with children

It is quite clear that the question arises: artists are one thing, but why do children need such a vision of the world?

Of course, pictures with animals made from geometric shapes do not aim to impose on the child an extraordinary vision of the world. However, why not show that such an interpretation of everything that surrounds us is possible.

Using the pictures you can learn the names of geometric shapes in an interesting and exciting way. From simple demonstration and repetition, the child quickly gets tired and begins to refuse classes, even if they are taught by the mother at home. It’s another matter if figures need to be found in animals. This is where genuine curiosity awakens.

When you have fully learned with your child the names of the shapes and their appearance, ask the child to show his vision of the world. Let us take an animal or any object as an example.

Ask: what geometric figure does it resemble?

Such exercises:

1. - develop observation skills;
2. — improve logical and spatial thinking;
3. - contribute to seeing what is hidden behind outer shell subject.

The baby learns to see and observe what others cannot or do not know how to see. Isn't this the education of an artist and a creative person?

Or you can play the reverse game. Imagine that you are abstract artists. Have one of you draw something consisting of geometric shapes, and the other try to guess what is drawn. Postmodernist painters often encrypted their drawings on a canvas filled with squares, rectangles, trapezoids... the same puzzles were previously offered in children's magazines.

You can create such a puzzle yourself: you just need a little imagination and a look at the world through the prism of geometry.
