Tests for diagnosing neurotic conditions. Neurosis. What is it and how to detect

Any test that can diagnose neurosis must be performed by a specialist. The results obtained provide only generalized information. Conclusions about whether a neurosis is present can only be drawn on the basis of a detailed study of the patient's personality. Online versions are needed more for self-diagnosis, to confirm the need to seek medical help.

A psychological test that is offered to a patient with suspected neurosis is designed to help identify the symptoms of the disorder:

• anxiety;
• chronic fatigue;
• self-doubt, indecision.

Such a test will show that a person does not have life goals, is not set up for success. It will also allow you to identify - if available - an inferiority complex in relation to the patient's appearance, his sociability.

Luscher color diagnostics

This technique was developed by Max Luscher. With its help, the patient's psychophysical state, his communication skills, activity, and stress resistance are assessed. The method allows you to determine the causes of stress, which may provoke the manifestation of physiological symptoms, as well as neurosis.

Galina Ilya Yurievich! Thank you very much for your sessions, in which I was lucky to take part. Thanks to them, I became more confident in many issues and situations that previously caused anxiety and concern. You taught me how to deal with this in a short amount of time. It's a pleasure to deal with a high-level professional!

Anna Ilya Yurievich, it is difficult to find words to express my gratitude to you for your help. I remembered in what state and with what thoughts I met the last year, 2017. I remember those feelings of bitterness, anxiety that did not come out of me under any circumstances. Finally, I have left this desire for self-destruction and now I can breathe differently. Thank you!

Tatiana Thank you, Ilya Yurievich, for the advice. Indeed, it allowed me to look at my life situation from a different angle. Thanks again!

Vladimir Thank you very much for your advice! Indeed, I noticed that memories pop up at a time when I was in a bad mood or irritable, but I could not understand that this was a defense mechanism. At his next appearance, I will try to talk about what exactly causes irritation, instead of plunging into memories.

Daria Many thanks for the help! I am very glad you helped me understand myself and showed me a new way to improve my life!

After reading the question or judgment, you must answer "yes" or "no". 1. Do you feel that you are internally tense? 2. I am often so wrapped up in something that I cannot sleep. 3. I feel easily hurt. 4. I find it difficult to talk to strangers. 5. Do you often feel listless and tired for no particular reason? 6. I often get the feeling that people are looking at me critically. 7. Are you often haunted by useless thoughts that do not come out of your head, although you try to get rid of them? 8. I am rather nervous. 9. It seems to me that no one understands me. 10. I am rather irritable. 11. If they had not been set against me, my business would have been more successful. 12. I take trouble too close and for a long time. 13. Even the thought of a possible failure worries me. 14. I had very strange and unusual experiences. 15. Do you sometimes feel happy or sad for no apparent reason? 16. During the whole day I dream and fantasize more than necessary. 17. Is it easy to change your mood? 18. I often fight with myself not to show my shyness. 19. I would like to be as happy as other people seem to be. 20. Sometimes I tremble or have chills. 21. Does your mood often change, with or without a serious reason? 22. Do you sometimes experience a feeling of fear even in the absence of real danger? 23. Criticism or reprimand hurts me a lot. 24. At times I am so restless that I can not even sit in one place. 25. Do you sometimes worry too much about small things? 26. I often feel dissatisfied. 27. I find it difficult to concentrate when doing any task or work. 28. I do a lot of things that I have to regret. 29. For the most part I am happy. 30. I'm not confident enough. 31. Sometimes I feel really worthless to myself. 32. Often I just feel bad. 33. I delve into myself a lot. 34. I suffer from feelings of inferiority. 35. Sometimes everything hurts me. 36. I have a depressing state. 37. I have something with my nerves. 38. I find it difficult to keep up a conversation when meeting. 39. The hardest struggle for me is the struggle with myself. 40. Do you sometimes feel that the difficulties are great and insurmountable? Data processing. It is necessary to count the number of affirmative answers: if more than 24 points are received, this indicates a high probability of neurosis. We emphasize once again that the technique provides only preliminary and generalized information. Final conclusions can be drawn only after a detailed study of the personality. The emergence of neurosis is usually preceded by a process of neurotization. Neuroticization is a state of emotional instability that can lead to neurosis and neurotic tendencies in the behavior of the individual.

Color selection method

The color selection method is an adapted version

Luscher color test.

The development of the test is based on a purely empirical approach and

initially associated with the installation of the study of emotional and

physiological state of a person in order to differentiate

psychotherapeutic approach and to assess the effectiveness of the correctional

impact. The experience of using the eight-color Luscher test in domestic conditions not only confirmed its effectiveness, but also made it possible to comprehend its phenomenology in

context of modern scientific outlook. Its advantage over

many other personality tests in that he is devoid of cultural

ethnic foundations and does not provoke (unlike most others,

especially verbal tests) defensive reactions. The technique reveals

not only the conscious, subjective attitude of the subject to color

standards, but mostly his unconscious reactions, which allows you to count

method is deep, projective.

Color vision is equally related to the perception of each

a particular color, both through the prism of mediating subjective experience and

through the reactions of the "old brain", i.e. diencephalic region, which is

conductor in a complex orchestra of autonomous systems of the body. Especially

indicative in this regard is the interweaving of the psychological aspects of the current

human condition with sympathetic-parasympathetic characteristics,

associated with the functions of the pituitary gland. They are known to be largely

affect the background of mood, general mental activity, incentive

the strength of the motivational sphere, the intensity of needs. The technique reveals

threshold of susceptibility of the visual analyzer of the subject: this threshold, as

shows experience, largely due to the predominance

trophotropic (desire for rest) or ergotropic (desire for

activity) trends within the vegetative balance. At the same time, the choice

color range depends both on a set of stable personal characteristics,

and from the current state, due to a particular situation.

The Luscher test in the original is presented in two versions: full

study using 73 color charts and a short test using

eight color row. The first one is rather cumbersome and represents

value is most likely in cases where the color test is

the only tool for psychodiagnostic research. However, the end result of the study is not so

extensive information compared to the time and effort spent.

Conciseness and ease of use of the eight-color range is a great

the advantage of the reduced version, especially since in the application to the battery

test methods, the reliability of the data obtained increases,

The examination procedure proceeds as follows:

it is proposed to choose the most pleasant color from the tables laid out in front of him,

not correlating it either with the color of the clothes (whether it suits the face), or with the upholstery of the furniture,

with nothing else, but only in accordance with how this color

preferred over others at a given choice and at a given moment.

When laying out color standards in front of the subject, you should use

indifferent background. Lighting should be uniform, enough

bright (it is better to conduct a study in daylight). Distance

there must be at least 2 cm between the color charts. Selected standard

removed from the table or turned face down. At the same time, the psychologist

records the number of each selected color sample. Recording goes to the left

right. The numbers assigned to the color standards are: dark blue -1,

blue-green - 2, orange-red - 3, yellow - 4, purple - 5,

brown - 6, black - 7, gray - 0.

Each time, the subject should be asked to choose the most

a pleasing color from the remaining until all colors have been selected. After two -

five minutes, after mixing them in a different order, color charts

must be laid out again in front of the subject and completely repeat the procedure

choice, while saying that the study is not aimed at studying memory and

that he is free to choose again the colors he likes as he will

M. Luscher allows data interpretation

testing and based on a single choice. color function,

reflecting the subjective attitude of the subject to the selected colors,

defined and encoded as follows: explicit preference

is indicated by a "+" sign, which is assigned to the first two preferred

flowers. Of these, the color in the first position determines the "basic way

action", and on the second - the "goal" to which the subject is striving. Simply

"preference" (3rd and 4th positions) is marked with "*" and indicates

"true state of affairs" (situation) and "mode of action" arising from

this situation. "Indifference" (5th and 6th - positions) is indicated by the sign "=" and

indicates currently unclaimed reserves, indifferent

zone, dormant personality traits. "Rejection" (antipathy) - 7th and 8th

positions, they are assigned a "-" sign, their functional meaning is

"repressed needs". This is the classic approach to interpreting

Luscher color range.

The colors are divided into primary (1 - dark blue, 2 - blue-green, 3 -

orange-red and 4 - light yellow) and additional, among which 7

(black) and 0 (gray) are achromatic, and 5 (purple) and 6 (brown) are

mixed. Primary colors symbolize basic psychological

needs, which Luscher defined as the need for satisfaction and

attachments (blue), the need for self-affirmation (green),

the need to "act and succeed" (red) and the need

"look ahead and hope" (yellow). Therefore, they are normal and at full

Complementary colors are not given a weight equal to

need area. Their role is, as it were, dividing or diluting. By

According to Luscher, they are not psychological "primary elements" and

included in the experiment mainly to expand the scope of the main

colors, their freer movement to one or another position of the row.

The symbolism of each color is rooted in distant periods.

the history of human existence on earth. The night, symbolized by

blue color, from ancient times brought peace, relaxation, sleep to a person. sun, brightness

dawning day (yellow color) evoked hope, encouraged

activity. Red color - coloring of flowers, fruits, blood, erotogenic zones

human body - a reflection of hunting instincts, erotic attraction,

striving to master the blessings of the surrounding life. Green is the color of the grass

bushes and trees - could serve as a symbol of protection, disguise,

secrecy. Gray - as the absence of color - is interpreted as separating,

enclosing. Black symbolizes the denial of the bright colors of life and

existence itself. Brown is a mixture of orange and

black, and purple - red and blue. Based on the symbolism of flowers and

accumulated practical experience, structural meaning in dark blue

characterized as concentric, (i.e. focusing on internal

problems), passivity, depth of experience, sensitivity,

heteronomy (i.e. dependence on external influences), his emotional

shade according to Luscher - calmness, satisfaction, affection,

blue color means an urgent need for peace forever

unsatisfied vulnerable person.

According to Luscher, the green color symbolizes the elasticity of the will (according to

defensive tendencies, autonomy (independence), immutability,

tendency to hold, possessiveness. Its affective aspects -

perseverance, self-confidence, stubbornness and self-respect.

Orange-red symbolizes willpower and is eccentric

(directed outward), active, offensively aggressive, autonomous,

locomotor, competitive, operational. Its affective aspects -

desire, excitability, power, sexuality. (Structural values

are given here literally, their descriptive form emphasizes

empirical nature of the foundations of the methodology and interpretation premises).

In his later publications, M. Luscher correlates

preferred color choice with hippocratic typology as follows

way: blue - phlegmatic, green - melancholic, yellow - sanguine and

red - choleric, which is not only not confirmed in practice, but also

contrary to his own characteristics. Years of experience

applying a color test in comparison with data from other methods and

the results of objective observation allow the author of this book to

to assert with conviction that the color red corresponds to the sanguine

temperament (if we stick to this classification), blue -

melancholic, green - phlegmatic, and yellow is closer to

choleric.

If the psychology of color perception (according to previous experience

application of the color test) is focused on momentary emotional

state, then subsequent experience with the application of the technique showed that even in

similar situations, people's reactions differ depending on the initial

individual-typological basis of the individual. And this means that in each specific case we are studying not just a state, but the reaction of a certain

personality to a specific situation, i.e. we study personality and its range

variability under the influence of external circumstances. This is evidenced by

the presence of stable pairs of color choices, as well as the dynamics of color

choice when, on a state change, the most significant color references

move from the first positions to the last (and vice versa), keeping

the relevance of the leading need symbolized by them.

The experience of using the eight-color test in a comprehensive study with

using other well-tested test methods showed that

with the correct understanding and evaluation of the results of the study, the method of color

elections (MCV) can identify not only situationally determined reactions,

but also stable individual-personal properties that determine

known selectivity, tropism (unconscious attraction) in relation to

choice. areas of interest, a way of self-realization in a professional

activities, features of interpersonal behavior, as well as protective and

compensatory mechanisms that manifest themselves in emotional

tension.

Comparison of color choices gives an idea of ​​the trends

which are subject to the greatest variability and create a certain reserve

adaptive mechanism, which will be discussed later. Within the framework of the above

conceptual approach following the indicators of other psychodiagnostic

methods fit into a coherent interpretation scheme and the results

MTSV. First of all, it is obvious that indicators of weakness

nervous processes, trophotropic tendencies - as a basis for constant

personal properties - reflected by a combination of "concentric" (1 and 2) colors

in the first positions of the color range, while "eccentric" colors (3 and

4) identify belonging to a strong type of GNI. At the same time, the most

"pure" variant of the weak type is revealed mainly concentric

heteronomous blue, and the combination of blue (1st color standard) with

green (2nd color standard) is characteristic of a mixed type of response,

because contains the characteristics of a defensive-protective,

extrapunitive properties and is distinguished by a greater volitional orientation,

than the "pure" weak (passive-contemplative, introverted) type

response that is unique to blue.

At the same time, the most "clean" variant of the sthenic type is reflected

characteristics of red: the combination of red and yellow reveals

the emotional pattern is less stable, labile, and the style of activity is

insufficiently targeted, i.e. this type of response is also

mixed. Thus, the interpretation scheme of the color method

elections includes two polar types - strong and weak - and two

mixed. The relationship of primary colors with the properties of the nervous system

is detected by the ratio of yellow (4) with lability, red (3) - with

dynamism in relation to excitation, green (2) - with inertia,

blue - with dynamism in relation to braking, yellow and red - with

high external reactivity with low intrapsychic activity,

blue and green - with low external reactivity at high

intrapsychic activity.

Thus, each primary color determines the leading trend,

giving a typological outline to the emotional-dynamic

pattern, which is manifested by the strength and direction of motives,

individual style of experience and interpersonal behavior, type

perception and processing of information about the surrounding world, i.e. style

thinking.

It should be noted that M. Luscher himself later came to the idea that

primary colors correlate with a certain individual philosophical

his publications appeared much later. However, in his later works

M. Luscher remains true to himself: instead of a generalized idea pointing to

the root nature of a particular type of personality, when causal

connections allow deriving particular manifestations from the cornerstone foundation

theoretical paradigm, infinitely respected and talented author

methodology still remains a prisoner of pure empiricism. speech

features, role behavior and other manifestations of individuals of different types

he describes as the sum of specific features. Comparative data analysis

with the results of other methods showed that these signs are excellent

fit into the framework of the above individual-personal

typologies. At the same time, some of Luscher's mistakes are striking, when from

very successful characteristics based on specific experience, he

moves on to generalized personality portraits. Yes, he claims that

preference for the blue standard is a sign of satisfaction, while experience

convinces of something else: this is a leading, never completely unsatisfied need

at ease and relationship satisfaction. Another disagreement is that

the same blue at the end of the row (like any other primary color)

does not mean the opposite quality, but the frustration of that need,

that this color represents. The significance of the color choice is defined as

the first three positions, revealing the typological affiliation

individual, and the latter. In the first case, we are talking about the leading trend,

which determines the individual's style of experience, perception, motivation and

behavior, and in the second (i.e. when the color is rejected) determined by this color

needs are frustrated.

Another serious mistake of M. Luscher is that he is the type

people who choose blue are phlegmatic, and green are

melancholic. At the same time, he rightly points out that the

those who choose blue tend to be deeply attached and sensitive to

environmental influences, and those who prefer green are stubborn, persistent,

alert, constantly on the defensive, demanding

recognition, which clearly contradicts the relevant typological

portraits and the very evidence, which is clearly manifested when

comparison of ICV data with indicators of other methods. Same with

interpretation of other bright color standards: it is quite clear that

the preference for red (the color of blood) is natural for sanguine people, and

yellow (bile), reflecting emotional instability, - for

choleric. Luscher, on the other hand, attributes the former to being choleric, and

the second - to the sanguine. At the same time, without noticing the contradictions, it is correct

classifies sexual activity in red as phallic,

blue - as oral, and green - as anal. Moreover, its characteristic

green as "flexibility of will" contradicts his own words that significant

green reveals "persistence, resistance to change, constancy

views", which is typical for rigid personalities, that is, the most inflexible

among other typologies. In addition, it is the rigid

epileptoid personalities belong (according to Freud) to the anal-erotic type

sexuality. It seems that these errors are due to the fact that M. Lusher

repelled mainly from medical practice, without having a serious

psychological base. His holistic portraits of personalities are very naive. At that

at the same time, the color test itself, created by Luscher, is an excellent technique, this is -

just a brilliant find.

It must be emphasized that the quantitative criteria for a given

methods are difficult to clearly define. Depending on the population

surveyed, these indicators vary significantly, therefore, to determine

the probability of one or another sign would be required to determine the boundaries

reliability for groups of different sex, age, professional

affiliation, regional sign. However, even then they would not be

quite specific. In this regard, some psychologists do not attribute the method

Luscher to test because of the impossibility of its rigid standardization. By the way,

this is not the only method in psychology that requires more quality

analysis than a quantified approach. However, this is not a reason to

deny that the eight color test is one of their best tools

psychodiagnostics, because this method allows using the original

stimulus material to obtain in a short experiment those data on

a person who outline the deep foundations of individual

personality pattern and a complex pattern of emotional state.

Particularly convincing are the possibilities of the technique in determining stress, in

assessment of the degree of disharmony or disintegration of the personality. In the same time

quantitative indicators of anxiety (the number of characters "!") turned out to be

sufficiently reliable criterion, which was especially evident in the longitudinal

research. With regard to the definition of typological properties and

psychological characteristics of the state, it is more relevant here

a qualitative analysis is presented. At the same time, the percentages and

the degree of probability of preference for one color or another is a sign, although

dependent on many variables, but it can be sufficiently objectified

indicators of other psychodiagnostic methods.

The study of people with different personalities

related to the mental norm, convincingly showed the importance of color in

determining the leading, root individual psychological trend.

Moreover, this significance is the higher, the more to the left is the position of one or more

other base color. Thus, I, II, III and IV positions determine the type

personality, but with a caveat: if this choice is not purely random

character, if it is stable, characteristic of a person throughout

long period of life choice. To increase the reliability of the results

the examination procedure itself is somewhat transformed by us: if the first

and the second choice are noticeably different, the subject is asked to clarify

their attitude to the colors that changed their position in the process of their pair

comparisons. For example, with two choices:

additional instruction should sound like this: "Which of these two do you

do you prefer?: blue or yellow? Green or yellow? yellow or

red? green or blue?". In this case, the pair 2 4 in this choice can

be random if the final choice is 2 1 4 3 or 1234 on the first

positions, which is not uncommon.

In this regard, it is appropriate to emphasize that the difficult pairing and

blind attachment to them when interpreting (especially when defining

goals and means of achievement) turned out to be practically not always justified.

This approach should be considered as a stage on the way of mastering the methodology,

the ultimate goal of which should be a holistic understanding of the color range,

forming an integrative image of a person in the context of a certain

states. In order to avoid shifting the typical choice under the influence

current state, attention should be paid to additional and

achromatic color standards. As a rule, in the process correctly

ongoing survey, preceded by an appropriate explanation of

research goals and interspersed with calm, friendly conversation,

these colors, which turned out to be in a significant position during the 1st choice, in the future

move to the right if the shift was associated with the examination procedure itself and

aroused in the subject a reaction of alertness, protest or defense.

If the first and second choices differ sharply (or significantly)

from a friend, this may be the result of unwillingness to be examined, the desire

"confuse the cards", get away from interference in your subjective world. Such

the reaction appears gray or black to one of the first or

directly 1st position. If the third choice is different from the first

nor on the 2nd, then the examination should be stopped, or resumed only after

how the subject will develop a calm and serious attitude towards

research. If the subject explains his behavior by the fact that he has

there is no specific relationship to colors, then this statement in itself

symptomatic and may indicate an altered motivational

sphere. At the same time, one can also use the procedure of pairwise

table comparisons (with a certain focus on the existing ones before

through the eyes of the experimenter (choices). At the end of any examination procedure,

makes it difficult to finish it by presenting the last row with the question: "Do you want to

Do you want to change anything in this row?". In addition, the study can be

supplement with the question: "What colors did you like earlier in childhood, in your youth?",

"What is your favorite color in general?", referring to the colors that are absent in

methodology.

In a number of situations, subjects supplement the study with interesting

information. For example, when choosing 01 523461, the subject says: "In childhood

I loved green and red more than any other color."

it is natural to assume that passivity, difficulties in contacts, inertia

and pessimism, incredulity and suspicion have developed in

as a result of long-term adverse effects of the environment on

emerging personality, which led to a state of chronically

difficult adaptation, which is mainly manifested by difficulties in interpersonal contacts, sensitivity, withdrawal into the world of far-fetched grievances,

blockage of spontaneous self-realization; however, in a situation of encouragement

and approvals; in favorable social conditions, the subject can

collectivity and efficiency will appear, and, due to its inherent

conscientiousness and "responsibility, he is able to fulfill the tasks assigned to

his duties: however, having exhausted the resources of activity, he may again fall

in a state of passivity, strive for peace and limit contacts.

Another example: the subject is a young woman working for

large industrial enterprise, divorced, has two children; choice

MTSV: 01563427. During the interview, she spoke about a difficult home

situation: she was forced to separate from her husband due to his constant

alcoholism, raises two children, lives far from work.

Psychocorrective conversation eventually allowed the subject

re-evaluate her values: she is young and pretty, she has wonderful

children and a lot of good things await her in the future: a divorce from her husband in the current

situations are good, because now there is peace in the family; in Moscow work located

away from home is a common problem. At the end of the interview, a woman (without

any provocation) said: “Yes, I’m happy, I now understand this, and

if I now lay out your tables, then I would be in first place

put red, yellow and green - the colors of joy. " Apparently, it was

hypercompensation reaction or a phenomenon that Luscher described as

harmonization of the state under the influence of psychotherapy and is called "autogenic

norm" (we are talking about the normalization of choice after a session of autogenic

workout). During further examinations, her choice tended to

row: 01534267. By nature, this woman was distinguished by shyness,

indecisiveness, features of dependence, the desire to avoid conflict,

with signs of irrational irritability, manifested in stress

in interpersonal conflicts, which in socially significant conditions

was successfully controlled, however, at the cost of increasing overall tension.

Thus, she had a mixed type of response with

the predominance of characteristics of a weak type - passivity,

introversion, softness and femininity; leading need -

peace and conflict-free coexistence with others, the ability to suppress

spontaneous reactions, performance dependence (see position "working

group") on the mood and situation, the need for support and encouragement

to activate.

Stress in persons of a mental norm, in a disharmonious personality and in a patient with

mental illness may look the same -607 on the first three

positions and, on the contrary, composure, activity, optimism, high

self-esteem, denial of any problems, lust for life, desire for

defending their positions (choice 3 4 2...) may reflect 1) emotional

pattern of harmonious personality of the sthenic circle; 2) overcompensation as

defensive reaction to difficulties; 3) oligophrenic type of response to

a background of reduced criticism; 4) post-procedural defect as a result

mental illness. However, such serious difficulties can

arise only if the psychologist does not use any other

method other than the color test. Even a simple comparison of the color range with

objective observation data, with a medical history or clinical

diagnosis (if any) allows us to determine whether we are dealing with

psychologically understandable experiences of harmonious or

accentuated personality, or we are talking about a pronounced dissociation between

"cheerful" color choice pattern and severe desocialization

a mentally ill person with a certain catamnesis of the disease. Few

Moreover, such dissociation is in itself informative and indicates

increasing the threshold of susceptibility of the color analyzer, which is often

is a particular manifestation of the general picture of flattening, coarsening

personality, inadequate self-esteem, uncriticality.

In other cases of pathology, the canvas of experiences crosses the border

psychological intelligibility, adequacy and becomes ridiculous. Here

only clinical experience can be a measure of the syntonicity of experiences.

Therefore, in these cases, psychiatrically competent

verification of the state estimate and the use of other methods

psychodiagnostic and experimental psychological research,

which can detect deviations from normal personality reactions.

It is more difficult to establish a gradation between moderately pronounced trends

normal personality, accentuated characterological pattern and

the presence of psychopathic traits. If in MMPI (SMIL) quantitative

criteria for assessing the degree of adaptation and personal harmony

produced in T-scores, in Cattell's 16-factor personality analysis

reflected in the walls, then the test of color choices reflects the personal

discomfort and emotional tension by the movement of achromatic

color tables to the left.

However, the psychopathic personality of a hypersthenic warehouse,

outside of stress and emotional tension, i.e. in the comfort zone

can give a choice of 3421 5607 or 4251607. According to Luscher, such

elections are close to the average and reflect the optimistic,

active, life-loving position of the individual. This is where it affects

lack of quantitative gradation of the severity of one or another

sign. This is the weakest link in Luscher's psychodiagnostic test.

But, again, this fact can serve as a stumbling block only in

if there is no way to obtain additional information;

usually, the survey can be supplemented by an interview with the subject or

comparing color test data with the results of other

psychodiagnostic methods and data (if any)

clinical observation in order to understand in the context of which problems one should

decipher color choice. And that doesn't detract from the importance.

technique, you just need to know the limits of its capabilities.

It seems controversial point of view of M. Luscher in terms of interpretation

ratios in color pairs. Experience shows that the 1st and 2nd position of the colors in

the pair do not so much reflect the means and the end as they correspond

prevailing trends in the need sphere. These needs

the following:

1. Blue color - the need for deep affection as a tool

achieving external protection, emotional comfort, peace.

2. Green - the need to defend one's own position,

defensiveness, aggressiveness of a protective nature.

3. Red - the need to achieve, possess, lead,

offensive aggressiveness of the "conqueror", purposefulness, high

search activity.

4. Yellow - the need for emotional involvement and

social security. Brightness of experiences and communication - how

necessary process.

These needs are the basis of an individually defined

motivational orientation and represent the most important

human needs, the actualization of which is necessary for normal

human existence. The need that is leading, she and

determines the individual personality pattern of a person, in which not only

emotional features, but also other substructures of personality

(intelligence, interpersonal behavior) are colored characteristic of this

individual style.

If any of the basic needs is frustrated, then

the corresponding color standard is in one of the last positions.

If achromatic (0 7) or additional

colors (5 6), then the needs identified by them are designated as secondary. They are

are not the main needs, it is only a forced protective

reaction to the impossibility of fulfilling primary needs.

5. Purple - the need to escape from reality,

irrationality of claims, unrealistic demands on life, subjectivism,

individualism, emotional immaturity.

6. Brown - the need to reduce anxiety, the desire for

psychological and physical comfort.

7. Black - the need for independence through protest, negativism in

calm, rest; passivity.

Thus, bright color charts reflect the needs,

determining the style of life stereotype, way of existence, vital,

ever-existing and never fully satiated needs^

peculiar to the individual as handwriting, as modus vivendi, as folded and always

tense spring, as the main motivating force, driving a person in

a certain direction. Needs determined by achromatic and

complementary colors, are closely related to defense mechanisms,

aimed at counteracting anxiety, pressure from external influences,

fatigue and reflect the problem of frustration of the basic need,

denial by the individual of the prevailing conditions and interpersonal relationships,

avoiding them into inaction (0), into self-pity (6), into protest reactions (7), into

fantasy world and irrational defenses (5) .

However, this is only a generalized approach to understanding the "root" origins

those qualities that underlie the color perception of test standards.

Comparative analysis of ICV data with the results of other

psychodiagnostic techniques and objective observation data allowed

come to such a scheme for interpreting the meanings of Luscher colors:

1. Blue color in the color range, steadily occupying 1 position,

indicates that the subject corresponds to a weak type of GNI with

the predominance of trophotropic tendencies and the dynamism of the nervous system in

regarding the processes of inhibition; accompanied by introversion and

passivity, combined with increased anxiety and a tendency to

pessimism; unsure of themselves and their prospects, persons of this type

constantly need reliable support and calmness, as a result of which

traits of dependence, extreme sensitivity to environmental

influences, a tendency to strengthen one's position through attachment and

protection from another person, and affiliative need is

leading. Thus, the need for understanding and empathy determines

stable personal characteristics as dominant, vital, and

therefore the never fully satiated driving force that determines

a style of existence in which the refrain sounds always relevant to

this type of personality the problem of a positive, benevolent attitude

significant others. Among women, this type of response occurs

significantly more frequently than among men.

The inertia of reactions and the depth of experiences are also formed by others -

derivative - properties: conformity of attitudes, avoidance of conflict,

striving for a stable situation, fear of difficulties, indecision

in decision making, thoughtfulness, empathy, passivity

in relation to topical issues, an increased tendency to reflection. Choice

blue color is one of the first characteristic of introverts with anancastes

traits. These traits are exacerbated and manifested by psychasthenic

features when combining blue with gray in the first positions. In this

situations, introversion already sounds like a problem of communication difficulties and

manifested by excessive indecision, shyness, feeling

misunderstanding, rejection by significant others, egocentric neurotic

focus on your problems. Combination of blue and black

indicates emotional (simultaneously with vegetative)

instability, contrasting manifestations of vulnerability with aggressiveness,

dependence and protest reactions, resentment and irritability. Here

the problem of suppressed aggression is manifested, which in general is characteristic

psychosomatics. This combination is often found in individuals with various

psychosomatic diseases and vegetovascular imbalance.

Various combinations of blue with achromatic and mixed colors

reflect the level of disadaptation. Moreover, the appearance in the first positions

achromatic colors, especially black, are more disturbing than mixed ones.

The combination of blue with brighter colors gives an emotional pattern.

certain shades that complicate its melancholic basis. So,

combination 1 2 for the norm population can be considered harmonious, since these

the colors are next to each other on the psychogram and are in relation to each other

additional. In contrast to the characteristics of a weak, retarded

type inherent in blue, the combination 1 2 attaches several

"softened" due to the blue color attributes of green. Moderately

pronounced (not accentuated) character of this type contains

along with restraint, constancy in affections and depth

feelings, defensive traits, striving for accuracy, increased

a sense of neatness, practicality, a tendency to systematize experience and

accumulation of negative emotional experiences. Combination 1 2 reflects

need for self-respect and respect for others, sensitivity to

regarding critical remarks, the desire to stubbornly defend their

positions in socially encouraged or non-aggressive ways. This is indeed

a combination shifted from the first positions by achromatic tables and

mixed colors - corresponds to the relevance of the problem of self-affirmation,

hurt pride and the desire to uphold a personal position with

tinge of hurt. If 1 2 are in positions III-IV, but the first

positions are occupied by bright colors, then this option can be interpreted as

combination of sthenic and hyposthenic tendencies in harmoniously

balanced personality.

2. The presence of green (blue-green) color in the first positions

reflects a mixed type of response with a predominance of passive -

defensive tendencies, if it is combined with 0 or 1 color, and appears

more aggressiveness in combination with bright colors, giving

the defensive nature of the position, in which one's own aggression

is justified by a threat coming from outside and is experienced by the personality as a secondary,

externally conditioned defensive reaction to the aggression of others. faces,

constantly choosing the 2nd color in the first positions, they are rigid

attitudes, perseverance and perseverance, a tendency to systematize,

tropism for the exact sciences and concreteness, a tendency to rely on

accumulated experience, increased sensitivity to social criteria

external assessment of one's personality, hence the ambition, significance

socioeconomic status, the problem of one's own prestige, sustainability

attachments and interests, passion, a sense of rivalry,

competitiveness, accuracy or even pedantry. Submission for them

unpleasant, hence the desire for leadership, or at least for

autonomy and social acceptance. This type of response is significant

more common among men. In combination with the 0th color, features are enhanced

isolation, signs of interpersonal conflict, communication difficulties,

feeling of incomprehension, rejection by others, exaggerated through

the prism of increased sensitivity to criticism, subjective confidence in

his rightness.

The irrational, maladaptive aspect of the 5th color exacerbates

suspiciousness of the 2nd, and they combined 5 2 or 2 5 in the first positions

reveal a tendency to systematize subjective, far-fetched assessments according to

attitude towards other people and the current situation, i.e. features of a paranoid style of experience and behavior. Anxiety(6) and protest

reactions (7) in combination with color 2 give it the properties of an irritable

explosive (62 -26) or incredulously negative (27 -72) behavior.

Are the characteristics of 2 colors constitutionally leading or

determine the current state, depends not only (and not so much) on its

positions - I, II, III. - how much of the correlation of color selection data with

MMPI scales (MMPI), in particular the 6th, 0th, 8th, and indicators of other

psychodiagnostic tests (primary and secondary deviations according to

myokinetic psychodiagnostics, frustration test data

Rosenzweig - a high percentage of extrapunitive responses, S-ioaaou according to Rorschach-

The location of the 2nd color in the last positions of the color range

indicates a frustrated need for social

self-affirmation, infringed pride, unfulfilled claims.

The combination of 2 3 or 3 2 in the first positions enhances the characteristics of the 2nd color,

the type of response is characterized as more sthenic, the position - as active

defensive (2 3) or aggressive-defensive (3 2) and reflects the alloy

properties inherent in each of the colors separately; this combination

presented as a clash of strong tendencies that create

predisposition to explosive (explosive) reactions.

The combination in the first positions of the color choice of 2 and 4 colors is

even more conflicting: the characteristics of rigidity are opposed

emotional instability, tendency to accumulate negative

emotions is combined with high spontaneity, unrestrained emotional

reactions: tendency to self-control with poor controllability,

suspiciousness with demonstrativeness, incredulity with openness,

neatness with carelessness, defensive hostility with

promiscuous sociability, caution with carelessness. If these

qualities are expressed moderately, this will give a normal

balance of a harmonious personality, in which contradictory

directional tendencies are balanced and reasonably dosed accordingly

specific situation, but with excessive expression of each of these

trends, the character acquires features of noticeable instability with sharp

behavioral changes, outbursts of excessive emotional

experiences, a tendency to explosive reactions in a situation of an affected

pride. If the choice of the 1st color in the first positions is typical for persons with

sensitive accentuation, then the choice of the 2nd in a similar position is characteristic

"stuck" accentuated personalities (according to Leonhard) or "rigid"

in our classification, as well as epileptoid or paranoid

psychopaths, but in the latter case, the 2nd color is most often combined with the 5th

or 7th, and for rigid introverts - with 0th color.

The worst mistake that can occur in the interpretation

ICV data is an incorrect estimate of the degree of disintegration. ICV

allows only to highlight the structure of experiences and the degree of involvement

personality under stress. The same 5 2 on I-II, II - III positions of choice can mean

caution, alertness, subjectivity of the individual in assessing objectively

complex interpersonal relationships, and be a sign of the presence

paranoid tendencies. Comparison of ICV data with objective

data and results of other psychodiagnostic methods (option 1 -

the SMIL profile is within the normal range, and option 2 is a profile above 70 T with peaks

on the 8th and 6th scales) will allow you to correctly assess the problems of personality and

level of personal integration.

3. Red (orange - red, terracotta) - reflects the sthenic

type of response in the most pronounced form and reveals tension

the need for activity aimed at achieving the goal, mastering

all that brings joy and pleasure; including the high

sexual-erotic involvement. Selecting this table in the first position

characteristic of individuals with a courageous temperament, independent,

solutions. High search activity, curiosity, dominance

emotions of interest and curiosity. Sayings and actions can get ahead of them

thoughtfulness due to spontaneity of behavior, looseness of feelings. It -

the desire to "be", to be realized, manifested by the tension of affect, if

fulfillment of needs is not possible at the moment. Disharmonious

personality, this quality results in impulsiveness, reduced self-control,

aggressive statements and actions.

Possibility of unrestrained behavior with compulsive aggression

increases if the 3rd color is in one of the last positions

(frustration of urgent, vital needs,

the impossibility of self-realization), and the 7th color on one of the first

(irrational and unrestrained protest reactions). If the combination of 32 and 34

complements the characteristics of the 3rd color in its own way (also 2 3 and 4 3), revealing

mixed response options for rigid-impulsive and unstable

impulsive type, then the combination 31 deserves special attention, because this is -

contrast combination. At the same time, the "strong", excitable traits inherent in

3rd color - sthenicity, activity, optimism, aggressiveness,

dominance, masculinity, - enter into a contradictory interaction with

characteristics of a weak, inhibited type - passivity, sensitivity,

pessimism, gentleness, thoughtfulness, dependence,

femininity. Luscher highlights this option as ideally harmonious.

However, our experience shows that this type of personality, although it looks outwardly

quite "ideal" due to pronounced self-control, differs

pronounced internal tension, which is the basis for the development

psychosomatic diseases, in particular, ischemic myocardial disease.

Outwardly balanced due to the confrontation of mutually contradictory

character traits, these individuals constantly experience a fairly pronounced

tension that gravitates toward transformation through somatization.

The psychological pattern of these individuals is close to type "A", described by

Jenkinson as a psychosomatic predisposition.

The choice in which the first positions are 3 and 0 colors is characteristic

narcissistic variant of personality; while egocentrism and lust for life

combined with a cold-distant attitude towards others. Combination 3 7 in

positions -3 -7 or +7 -3 positively correlates with the presence of obsessive

actions, especially with 0 1 or 1 0 in the first three positions (P=0.73 among

group of patients with borderline mental disorders). AT

within the framework of neurotic reactions, obsessions manifest themselves against the background of

psychasthenic character accentuation in the form of obsessive counting

unnecessary items, performing superstitious rituals, difficulty falling asleep

against the background of mental "chewing" of constantly existing problems or

events of the current day. The combination of 53, 35 or +3 -5 is typical for people with

enough outlined creative individuality, original,

original thinking, with a peculiarity of interests, however, these characteristics

relevant only if there is a good intellectual base and

abilities for which this emotional-dynamic pattern

is presented as a personal predisposition, optimal conditions for

creative development of the individual. With low intelligence and lack of

abilities, such a person is distinguished only by a masterful and intractable

character, increased sense of independence, irrational

original radical, the desire to stand out, not to be subject to

generally accepted norms, which, under certain unfavorable conditions, may

expressed in antisocial tendencies (especially when combined 357, 375,

753 in the first positions).

4. Yellow color in the first position is characteristic of emotive personalities.

warehouse. Experiences and the process of communication are in themselves essential to them;

the leading need of the individual is to be involved in the process emotionally

rich interpersonal interaction. Activity for the sake of activity

communication for the sake of communication, life for the sake of life - these are the needs of this type

personality. In contrast to the 3rd color, characteristic of individuals who light

others with their purposefulness and lust for life, 4 color as the main

inherent in individuals who light up from communication with others like a match from

touching the edge of a matchbox. 4 color positively correlates with 3-

th, 4th and 9th MMPI scales (SMIL). For individuals who prefer the 4th color, the choice

profession is more focused on the process of activity itself, which brings

satisfaction and liveliness than on the goals achieved by this activity.

With severe maladaptation, these traits develop into hysterical,

phobic and neurasthenic manifestations, that is, in those features that

characteristic of emotionally unstable individuals. For accentuated

this type of personality is characterized by a tendency to fear, exaltation

feelings, instability of interests, elements of infantilism (childishness),

inconstancy, impatience, demonstrativeness. This is self-affirmation

type "to seem" (as opposed to the desire to "be"). Features of demonstrativeness -

up to the hysteroid radical - are enhanced by the combination of 5 4 . Here they are

accompanied by signs of severe emotional immaturity,

reduced emotional control, a protective mechanism of displacement,

irrational way to achieve goals mainly by

shifting difficulties onto the shoulders of others.

Combination 4 1 reveals pronounced sensitivity to environmental

influences due to the fact that each color individually is associated in its own way with

high sensitivity to external factors. However, the choice for

the first positions of the blue color are characteristic of passive-pessimistic

personalities, and yellow - actively optimistic. In combination, they

reveal a cycloid personality type with a tendency to mood swings,

easily provoked by external causes, with rapid transitions from sadness to

exalted gaiety, hard going through loneliness,

experiencing an increased need for communication, which makes a person

The combination of 41 in III and IV positions is associated with the dependence of working capacity and

productivity of the subject from mood, with emotional involvement

and a tendency to mood swings when external circumstances easily

change the self-esteem of the individual, subject to fluctuations. The credibility of this

factor on the material of general normative screening - Р=0.79, and on the contingent

patients with borderline mental disorders - P=0.76; in the same time

among patients with neurotic disorders, a choice is often found, in

in which this pair is divided according to the +1-4 type, which means the desire to find support

in the person of significant others due to the blockage of spontaneous

self-realization. And in other combinations, where the 4th color is on one of

the last positions (i.e. -4), the color standard with a (+) sign indicates the type

compensatory reaction in response to blocked spontaneity

own "I", the impossibility of free manifestation of feelings. This

a sign during the examination should alert the psychologist, tk. he is

a harbinger of maladjustment. The significance of the 4th color (as well as other primary

colors) is determined by its placement on the first or last three

positions.

The closer to the beginning of the row the color, the greater the significance of the corresponding

needs, which determines as a leading trend a set of sustainable

personal properties, and the combination of primary colors among themselves forms

mosaic of character and the predominant style of experience that can be

described according to the principle of listing the properties inherent in each color, in

sequence corresponding to the position of each color. However, the most

only integrative integrity can be complete and reliable

the described image. To do this, an alloy of combined properties must be described

psychologist from the standpoint of a holistic view of personality, when

physiological aspects of the emotional state, psychological canvas

personal characteristics and the life situation in which he was involved

surveyed, would be fully taken into account. For more confidence in

interpretation must use arguments drawn from the data

other psychodiagnostic tests. As a last resort, each thesis

psychologist must be considered in the context of one or another alternative.

For example, the choice: 02134657 can be interpreted specifically and situationally

as a reaction of a temporary withdrawal from contacts in a balanced personality with

the predominance of inhibited traits and good control over emotions in

situations of getting used to a new social structure, which forces

abandon subjectively acceptable ways of self-realization and requires

careful waiting until it becomes well known and familiar.

Another interpretation of the same choice (individually

personal approach) reveals a personality with traits of introversion,

prone to suppression of their own identity, with pronounced passive-

defensive tendencies, heightened sense of self

dignity, focused on socially prestigious goals with

pronounced shyness, distance, caution; features are noted

rigidity, pedantry, selectivity in contacts, independence

opinions with conformity of attitudes, craving for concreteness, accuracy, sobriety

judgments, a tendency to stable attachments, balanced

good activity. However, the activity is fully manifested in

favorable, friendly and calm situation, without stressful

moments, provided that the identity of the person being examined is accepted

with sufficient respect. Thus, it is revealed

expressed need for calm conditions, allowing to realize

the need for self-assertion and respect for others, which contributes to

achieving a certain goal. The least significant process and character

activities, the most significant subjective conviction.

Both interpretations are close and do not contradict each other,

however, the former deals more with the situation, the latter with the personality.

Mixed and achromatic color tables in the first positions

determine the degree and style of maladaptation. It depends not only on the amount

signs "!", but also from the color itself.

5. Violet color in the first position of the color range is typical for

persons with difficult adaptation due to emphasized individualism.

It is statistically more common in the first positions in children and adolescents, in homosexuals; Its movement to the left was noted in women during

pregnancy, as well as in patients with whimsical thinking, originality

perceptions, interests, statements and actions. All this makes

to think about: what is generalizing for all these so different groups?

Analysis of the received data and comparison of results

psychodiagnostic studies with objective observation data

allows us to conclude that the 5th color is associated with difficult adaptation

through a general weakening of the integrative role of self-consciousness and more than others

indicators of the methodology is focused on the release of unconscious aspects

human experiences. The state of temporary maladjustment is experiencing

a woman in a difficult period of pregnancy, when her life is divided into

two. A decrease in the integrative function of consciousness can be the result of both

not yet formed personality, and as a consequence of the already

personality regression, as well as underdevelopment as a personality trait

(pronounced accentuation of character, anomaly of personality development,

psychopathic pattern). The childhood period is characterized by the fact that the personality

not yet formed, hence the weak integration of "I". Teenager is not enough

adapted, as it is going through an intermediate period between childhood and

adulthood. Naturally, abnormal sexual orientation is also associated with

impaired integration of the "I" due to the peculiarity of the sexual

self-identification and social maladaptation. personality regression

mental illness also leads to a maladaptive state.

Underdevelopment of personality, signs of emotional immaturity

reflects the psychopathic structure of the personality, which manifests itself, in particular,

weakening the control of consciousness over the emotional sphere.

Thus, as in the structure of the unformed personality of the child,

and with a weakly structured "I" of a psychopathic personality, homosexual

sual, a pregnant woman, as well as with regressive processes in a patient

schizophrenia has common features - a frustrated or undeveloped libido, that

or other degree of unsatisfactory social adaptation. Besides,

attention should be paid to the "childish", direct way of perception,

when each situation is perceived as being experienced for the first time, and

the ability to use the accumulated experience and ready-made stamps has not yet become

habit. It is known that it is the child's psyche that is characterized by a rich

imagination, which most often fades with growing up. As shows

experience, it remains intact with creative, original-minded individuals.

At the same time, psychodiagnostic research reveals in them a significant

the position of the 5th color in the ICV selection.

Difficult adaptation, close to the first steps of maladaptive

condition, which may also be associated with loosening of the adaptive

barrier in connection with a long (though not pronounced) emotional

voltage, manifested by a shift of the 5th color to the left. The more to the left is the 5th

color in the color range, the more significant this feature is, the stronger

it sounds like an indicator of the dissimilarity, non-normativeness of this person, and

reflects the difficulties of social adaptation associated with individual

the originality of a person, the originality of his views, interests and actions,

too unusual (or ridiculous, if we are talking about a patient with schizophrenia).

Again, such conclusions cannot be drawn only on the basis of the ICV, one can

only to describe the structure and style of experiencing, and to assess the degree of maladjustment in

points "!" (from 0 to 12). The quality of maladaptation, its causes, connection with

immaturity or disintegration of the personality can only be determined by

totality of data from a complete psychodiagnostic and experimental

psychological research in comparison with clinical data.

The connection of the 5th color with the maladjustment factor is confirmed by the positive

correlation of the 5th color in the first positions (1-111) with the SMIL profile, in

which there is a significant increase on the 8th, 4th or 5th scale, that is, in

profile configuration in relation to other scales 8th (or 4th or 5th)

the scale is significantly increased or is represented by one of the peaks among 3-4

leading profile peaks (P=0.81). In the group of patients with borderline neuro-

mental disorders in the presence of clinically verified

neurotic and neurosis-like disorders were found enough

frequently occurring choices in which the 5th color is positively correlated with

low index of realism of the Rorschach test or with the presence of a large

the number of original answers, which naturally influenced the interpretation

each specific case. Fairly high positive correlation

significant 5th color with the 5th scale MMPI (SMIL) - 0.43 - detects a connection

this choice with undifferentiated sexuality and problems

disturbed sexual adaptation. Thus, in all choices,

where the 5th color is significant, one can note a violation of identification, fuzziness

the boundaries of the "I", although this is caused in different cases by different reasons. This

Luscher described the phenomenon as the loss of a sense of "identity": there is

mind that the individual has a frustrated need for identity

to oneself due to the loss of a sense of identity, that is, one’s correspondence

a certain picture of one's own "I".

One of the frequently encountered choices both among the accentuated

individuals, and in the contingent of borderline disorders, is the choice 54210367.

In this choice, the 5th color reflects the instability of adaptation and reduced

control over the emotional sphere, enhances immediacy,

instability of emotions, increased sensitivity to environmental

influences, susceptibility to momentary moods, impatience,

a tendency to crowd out problems inherent in the characteristics of the 4th color,

enriching them with irrational tendencies, unbridled fantasy,

identification difficulties that increase imitative tendencies,

rich imagination, artistic mindset, traits

infantilism.

The next two positions, occupied by colors 2 and 1, are characteristic

opposite typological variant, stable personal

whose characteristics are in conflict with the previous ones (cf.

combination 2 1). In addition, the selection shows a trend towards suppressed

aggression. Thus, a demonstrative (hysterical or

hysterical) individual personality pattern, characterized by

the most contradictory properties and conflict emotional

dynamic structure. The correlation of this choice of MCV with hysteroid and

hysterical profile of SMIL is high - Р=0.87

6. Brown color reflects the problem of anxiety with the vital

(somatic) coloration, experiencing feelings of insecurity and

needs, in some cases hypochondriacal fixation, discomfort

general somatic plan or dissatisfaction of the hedonic personality,

especially +6-3. The 6th color in the third and fourth position often means

situationally determined discomfort in persons who have left at least for a short time

home, thereby reflecting an adaptive response to a change in habitual

stereotype, that is, what Luscher calls the feeling of "losing roots."

7. Black color in the first positions reveals not only a protest against

the current situation and a negative attitude towards it, but also aggressiveness.

extreme subjectivism, sense of isolation and rebelliousness, active

resistance to the environment and positively correlates with the 8th scale, often in

combination with the 4th and 9th MMPI scales (SMIL): correlation coefficient

0.54 - +0.71. Aggressiveness increases and takes on a compulsive

(uncontrollable) character with a combination of +7 +3 or +7 -3, and manifests itself as

hidden aggression with difficulty, but controlled if there is a combination of -7-3.

The same with the 4th color, its combinations with 7 (+7 +4, +7 -4) are typical for states,

associated with obsessive fears. +7 -5 or +5 +7 reveals

the most irrational, subjective position of the individualistic

personality. A. Gray color can mean: a) temporary fatigue and asthenia

as a long-term state; b) situational difficulties in interpersonal

contacts and c) introversion as a constant property of personality (although

in other cases, his position reflects autistic isolation, for example, when

choice 07536124). However, to confirm this, clinical

verification and data of other psychodiagnostic and experimental

psychological methods, the 0th color in significant positions correlates in

first turn with a 0th scale II?1, with a low 9th, an increased 8th and 2nd

scales. As already mentioned, the choice 6 0 7 reveals the state of the expressed

stress, regardless of what and to whom this stress is caused. It could be

an objectively supercomplicated situation, a neurotic reaction in an unstable

personality and response to psychotic experiences in the acute state.

The more achromatic and mixed tables (607)

is in the first positions, the higher the level of disadaptation. However, this

sharpness so exhausts all personal resources that for a long time

cannot continue. Even in cases where the situation remains difficult,

gradually there is a partial adaptation to it, in connection with which the color

the choice becomes more and more mixed. Pathocharacterological

development, personal disharmony, pronounced character accentuation,

psychopathic traits leading to difficulties in social adaptation,

manifested by different combinations of primary colors with achromatic

tables and mixed colors. At the same time, tension (or

frustration) of basic needs is compensated by secondary ones,

caused by stress, needs: the need for isolation from

excessive communication (0), in rest and physiological comfort, getting rid of

humiliation (6), in opposing one's "I" to external conditions in the form

protest (7), in flight from reality (5). Combinations of bright colors with

achromatic are comparatively more malignant than mixed ones.

If bright colors are in the first positions, then their combinations

in different combinations in accordance with their sequence reveal

leading typological features according to the degree of their predominance in

current state and human behavior. However, due to the absence

quantitative gradations that allow measuring the intensity of detected

trends, it's hard on the grounds only.
