In general, in my work I rarely ever use projective tests, but I myself absolutely love taking them. But with some reservation: TAT, Luscher color test, Rorscharch or MAC test - I really like it, I get incredible pleasure from passing it. But I can’t stand those tests where you have to draw. Firstly, I’m damn bad at drawing, and secondly, it’s incredibly depressing to me that I can’t express on paper the idea that arose in my head. And my usual “stick, stick, cucumber, it turned out to be a little man” are usually interpreted by colleagues as something negative, for example, resistance) Well, okay, this is not about me, but about a technique that slightly eases my tension before drawing, because It looks simple and has a base for drawing. Those. the beginning of the drawing is already laid down in the task itself. This technique is part of the supplementation techniques. Can be used both in individual therapy and for group work. The method is aimed at identifying hidden attitudes associated with the main six important areas for a person hidden in the unconscious of the subject. The authorship is attributed to A.I. Lunkov, who developed this technique by transforming it from a similar amateur projective test. The purpose of the “Six Unfinished Drawings” technique: self-knowledge, study of the “image of the Self.” The conversation itself about significant aspects of a person’s life is also important. If unusual drawings or associations to drawings are detected, this test may have psychodiagnostic meaning. All you need to complete is a 4A sheet of paper with figures printed on it, a pen or pencil. Simple instructions are given - complete the drawing. The first key to organizing associations according to the “Semicircle from above” pattern is the client’s significant actions in relation to loved ones. What symbols does he ascribe to them, what images does he associate with them - these are the questions that arise in this context. This symbol evokes reflections on the overarching, surrounding and overhanging motives in life. These are “significant others to you.” The second key, displayed by the “Semicircle Below” symbol, focuses on who a person is to significant others. What qualities and images does he use to describe himself in the context of relationships with them? This symbol provokes discussion of containing, stored contents and encourages reflection on one's role in relationships with others. This is “You for significant others.” The third - the inner childish self of a person is represented by the symbol “Circle”, which is associated with the sun, face, ball and other elements. This symbol represents the integrity of the individual, regardless of relationships with other people. Four - the “Broken Line” symbol often causes the completion of a drawing in the form of a house or mountain landscape. The client associates this symbol with images, associations and qualities associated with the concept of “Home”. The fifth figure - “Oblique Line” of an exclusively ascending nature encourages ideas about “rising”, “climbing”, moving up or down. Through this symbol, a person connects his ideas about a career with various symbols and qualities. The sixth - flowers, starry sky, eye - is what is often seen around the "Point". It is important to understand what associations the client’s idea of ​​Love evokes. After drawing, a question is carried out about the meaning of what was drawn, a hypothesis is built, and then an interpretation is carried out together with the client, where the client complements the psychologist’s theory, agrees or challenges the guesses. Usually, during the test you can identify interesting thoughts about yourself from the “to think about” category.
