One of the challenges of professional recruiters and managers today is how to find out the
real person behind the mask of the person that they are considering. Most tests depend on words.
If you were taking the test, you can analyze test questions for their implications before giving its final response. However, you or the test interpreter may be at a loss to evaluate whether the profile is created the real or form, namely, how do you want to be seen by others.
This inherent weakness of a personality test based on word led to the creation of the Luscher
Color Diagnostic Test in 1947. The creator, Dr. Max Luscher, Switzerland is a psycho-
therapist who is the world's authority on the psychology of color. He wanted to design a
psychometric tests that was simple, universally transmissible and accurate.
Luscher chose colors as his evidence after the realization that there will always be differences
in the verbal interpretation. For example, the word cold means differently when applied to
temperature or the way in which someone is talking on the phone. Language is just as old as
the history of mankind. Colors, on the other hand, have been in existence since the birth of
the universe. Over billions of years, the meaning of the colors was refinement. When the
the human race has emerged, colors were one of the first media on which there was common
agreement in meaning across all tribes and races.
When you take the test color, choose based on your feelings, rather than what you think
It is the sense of color. As you look at each color, your instinct tells you if you
like or dislike, much the same way that enjoy a variety of foods. Don't you think
If a plate of food is good for your health or not before eating it. Is that your taste buds that
you obey.
Likewise, try to guess if there is a template in a test of color, but soon give
up guessing because while it has always preferred to red to blue, for example, do not
I really don't know why you like black or brown. Because you leave your feelings to dictate the
preferences, the answers of the test color are therefore more spontaneous and sincere, respect
for you how to respond based on word test where you can somehow predict your psychological
Profile.
Each color has the same meaning as sub-conscious of any human being. The
the universal significance of these colors was planted in our DNA, learned after trial and error,
as we evolved in our natural history.
Yellow is the color of the Sun and the Herald of the day, when our earliest ancestors were free to roam and hunt for food and for research into new territories. Yellow represents the adventure, fun and freedom.
Blue is the color of the heavens and, most importantly, at night, when the body needs to rest and sleep in peace. Blue symbolizes the serenity.
Red is the color of blood and blood is vital for life. Red is a symbol of action and energy.
Green is the color of the trees and plants and plants turn into nutritious food. Green
represents the abundance, richness, stability, predictability and order.
While the colors have a universal significance, they also have a subjective meaning. The color
preference of combination is dictated by your values and attitudes. If you are an action-
oriented person, you'd probably put red as your first choice. If you like a calm and
peaceful life, blue will be high. If you're always looking for new experiences, then
Yellow would be on top. If you are a person who values of prestige and status, green will
a very strong appeal. Combination of colours will be different from others and thus
would your psychological profile.
One of the greatest values of the test color lies in identifying the prevailing stress
anxiety and compensatory behavior. Everyone suffers from some form of anxiety, some
more serious than others. We spend our lives full of worry and these solicitations to Show
our behavior and health. Luscher test reveals the true cause of our anxiety as well as
next step to minimize or eliminate it altogether.
The depth of the test result can be seen in this example. A very successful businessman claims
He is very tired, working on most weekends. If we were his Adviser Chair, we
probably tell him to go and have a long vacation. Review your answers in the test, Luscher
However, we identified that had a very serious problem. Anxiety was that of a
bond failed with a partner and compensatory behavior to suppress this failure by
pouring his time and efforts into his business. Then the next step was truly marital advice,
not a holiday.
Through the test color, we are able to trace the behavioral cycle of anxiety-compensators
compensating behaviors of anxiety that people who are under severe stress are going through.
May appear normal physically, but the proof color shows a different story. Many times,
When a person takes the test, his physical appearance and fatigue also can show
exhaustion. We can expect that the results of the test reflected this feeling.
Various scientific tests have shown that people with a specific test response are more likely to be
suffering from a health problem as well, thereby demonstrating that emotional state is a
because of the psychosomatic behavior.
Unlike many personality test, the test of color can be taken again and again. Since the
emotional state would vary for periods of time, the answers are also testing Luscher
likely to change.
Psychologists and psychiatrists, especially in Europe, were early adopters of
diagnostic test. The test was also used by criminologists and army and police
unit of information that they need to do extensive a personality test. In recent years, the test
Also caught the attention of recruiters, personnel experts, coaches and counselors that
I'm looking for a psychometric test more effectively to help them in their work.
In closing,
* Use of color eliminates the temptation in Word-based testing to rationalize
response and projecting an image that you want, rather than actual personality.
* The color diagnostic test, having designed primarily for psychologists and
psychiatrists, goes more deeply into the psyche of most personality tests that are used
primarily for interpersonal relationships or career counseling.
