CONSTRUCTIVE DRAWING OF A HUMAN FROM GEOMETRIC FIGURES "METHOD

Review

Projective graphic method of personality research. Designed to identify individual typological differences.

The subject is asked to sequentially draw a human figure three times (on separate sheets), each time made up of 10 elements, among which there may be triangles, circles, squares. The "degree of freedom" of the subject is that he can use a different number of circles, triangles and squares, but the total number of shapes must be 10 in each drawing.

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. The circle is a streamlined figure, more in tune with sympathy, softness, roundness, femininity. It is easier to build something from square-shaped elements than others, therefore a square, a rectangle are interpreted as a specifically technical constructive figure, a "technical module".

There are eight main personality types:

1. "Head".

2. "Responsible executor.

3. "Anxious and suspicious"

4. "Scientist".

5. "Intuitive".

6. "Inventor, designer, artist."

7. "Emotive".

8. Has the opposite tendency to the emotive type.

This technique is used in domestic psychodiagnostics. The most complete data were obtained in the studies of E.S. Romanova. Her own empirical research, in which more than two thousand drawings were received and analyzed, showed that the ratio of various elements in constructive drawings is not accidental. She believes that a more subtle analysis of the data obtained is possible, which makes it possible to single out a “second level” typology, in which 63 subtypes are distinguished with their corresponding psychological characteristics. The results obtained were compared by E.S. Romanova with indicators Luscher color selection test, indicators of temperament according to questionnaires G. Eysenka, V.M. Rusalov (see. temperament questionnaire Rusalov) and with test data "Tree".

Instruction

Features of the testing procedure:

Material:

The subjects are offered three sheets of paper measuring 10x10 cm, each sheet is numbered and signed. On sheet No. 1, the first test drawing is performed, then, respectively, on sheet No. 2 - the second, on sheet No. 3 - the third. After completing the three drawings, the data is processed. If the instruction is violated, the data is not processed.

Instruction:

"You need to draw a human figure, made up of 10 elements, among which there may be triangles, circles, squares. You can increase or decrease these elements (geometric shapes) in size, overlap each other as needed. It is important that all these three elements in the image of a person were present, and the sum of the total number of figures used was equal to ten. If you used more figures when drawing, then you need to cross out the extra ones, but if you used less than ten figures, you need to draw the missing ones.

Post-picture conversation:

The technique can serve as a good intermediary in the process of communication between a psychologist-consultant and a controlled person. Reporting an individual-type characteristic, one can ask the following questions based on the features of the image construction (which usually should be answered in the affirmative):

if you have a neck - "Are you a vulnerable person, does it happen that you are too easy to offend?"

ears - "Are you considered a person who knows how to listen?"

pocket on the human body: "Do you have children?"

 on the head of a "hat" in the form of a square or a triangle in one drawing: "You, apparently, made a forced concession and are annoyed by this?"; in the presence of a "hat" in all three images: "Is it possible to say that you are now experiencing a" strip of constrained position?

fully drawn face: "Do you consider yourself a sociable person?"

one mouth on the face: "Do you like to talk?"

only one nose: "Are you sensitive to smells, do you like perfumes?"

the image of a circle on the body: "Does your worries include the need to give someone orders?".

Keys

Data processing is carried out as follows: the number of triangles, circles and squares spent in the image of a person is counted (for each figure separately), and the result is written in the form of three-digit numbers, where hundreds will indicate the number of triangles, tens - the number of circles, units - the number of squares. These three-digit numbers make up the so-called "drawing formula", according to which the drawings are assigned to the corresponding types and subtypes.

Types:

I type - "leader".

Pattern formulas: 901, 910, 802, 811, 820, 703, 712, 721, 730, 604, 613, 622, 631, 640.

II type - "responsible executor.

Drawing formulas: 406, 415, 424,433, 442, 451, 460.

IV type - "scientist".

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

V type - "intuitive".

Drawing formulas: 208, 217, 226, 235, 244, 253, 262, 271, 280.

Pattern formulas: 109, 118, 127, 136, 145, 019, 028, 037, 046.

VII type - "emotive".

Pattern formulas: 550, 451, 460, 352, 361, 370, 253, 262, 271, 280, 154, 163, 172, 181, 190, 055, 064, 073, 082, 091.

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

Analysis

A typology based on the preference for geometric shapes allows one to form a kind of "system" of individual typological differences (see Table 1).

Table 1

The system of individual psychological differences revealed in the performance of constructive drawings based on the preference of geometric shapes

Types:

I type - "leader". Usually these are people who have a penchant for leadership and organizational activities, focused on socially significant norms of behavior, may have the gift of good storytellers, based on a high level of speech development. They have good adaptation in the social sphere, dominance over others is kept within certain boundaries. Such people usually choose a green color (according to M. Luscher) and draw a "Christmas tree" in the "Tree" test.

Drawing formulas: 901.910, 802.811, 820.703.712.721.730, 604.613.622.631.640.

The most severe dominance over others is expressed in subtypes 901, 910, 802, 811, 820; situationally - 703, 712, 721, 730; when exposed to speech on people - a verbal leader or "teaching subtype" - 604, 613, 622, 631, 640.

It must be remembered that the manifestation of these qualities depends on the level of mental development. At a high level of development, the individual features of development are realizable, quite well understood. At a low level, they can be detected in professional activities and present situationally, worse, if not adequate to situations. This applies to all features.

II type - "responsible executor"- possesses many features of the "leader" type, being disposed to him, however, there are often hesitation in making responsible decisions. This type of people is more focused on "the ability to do business", high professionalism, has a high sense of responsibility and exactingness towards themselves and others, highly appreciates being right, i.e. characterized by increased sensitivity to truthfulness. Often they suffer from somatic diseases of nervous origin as a result of overexertion.

Drawing formulas: 505, 514, 523, 532, 541, 550.

III type - "anxious-suspicious"- is characterized by a variety of abilities and talents - from fine manual skills to literary talent. Usually people of this type are closely within the same profession, they can change it to a completely opposite and unexpected one, also have a hobby, which is essentially a second profession.

Physically do not tolerate mess and dirt. Usually conflict because of this with other people. They are characterized by increased vulnerability and some doubt themselves. They need gentle encouragement.

Drawing formulas: 406, 415, 424,433, 442, 451, 460. In addition, 415 is a "poetic subtype" - usually people with such a drawing formula have poetic talent; 424 is a subtype of people recognizable by the phrase "How can this work badly? I can't imagine how this can work badly." People of this type are distinguished by special care in their work.

IV type - "scientist". These people easily abstract from reality, have a "conceptual mind", and are distinguished by the ability to develop their theories "for everything". Usually they have peace of mind and rationally think through their behavior.

Drawing formulas: 307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370. Subtype 316 is characterized by the ability to create theories, mostly global ones, or to carry out large and complex coordination work; 325 - a subtype characterized by a great enthusiasm for the knowledge of life, health, biological disciplines, medicine.

Representatives of this type are often found among people involved in synthetic arts: cinema, circus, theater and entertainment directing, animation, etc.

V type - "intuitive". People of this type have a strong sensitivity of the nervous system, its high exhaustibility. It is easier to work on switching from one activity to another, they usually act as "minority lawyers", behind which there are new opportunities. They are highly sensitive to novelty. They are altruistic, often show concern for others, have good manual skills and imaginative imagination, which makes it possible to engage in technical forms of creativity. Usually they develop their own moral standards, have internal self-control, i.e. prefer self-control, reacting negatively to encroachments on their freedom.

Drawing formulas: 208, 217, 226, 235, 244, 253, 262, 271, 280. Subtype 235 - often found among professional psychologists or people with an increased interest in human psychology; 244 - has the ability for literary creativity; 217 - has the ability to inventive activity; 226 - a great need for novelty, usually sets very high criteria for achievement for himself.

VI type - "inventor, designer, artist". Often found among individuals with a "technical vein". These are people with a rich imagination, spatial vision, often engaged in various types of technical, artistic and intellectual creativity. More often they are introverted, just like the intuitive type, they live by their own moral standards, do not accept any outside influences, except for self-control. Emotional, obsessed with their own original ideas.

Drawing formulas: 109,118,127,136,145,019,028,037,046. Subtype 109 is found among individuals who have a good command of the audience; 118 - the type with the most pronounced design capabilities and the ability to invent.

VII type - "emotive". They have increased empathy towards others, they are hard pressed by the "cruel shots of the film", they can be "knocked out" for a long time and be shocked by violent events. The pains and concerns of other people find in them participation, empathy and sympathy, for which they spend a lot of their own energy, as a result, it becomes difficult to realize their own abilities.

Drawing formulas: 550,451,460,352,361,370,253,262,271, 280,154, 163,172,181,190,055, 064,073,082,091.

Type VIII - 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 the pressure on people. If this is a good specialist, then he can force others to do what he sees fit. Sometimes it is characterized by "calousness", which occurs situationally, when for some reason a person closes in a circle of his own problems.

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

Interpretation of drawings of a human figure in thirty-six subtypes

In addition to identifying the leading type out of eight possible ones, the first figure also determines the leading subtype out of 36 possible stable ratios of elements. This allows you to clarify and concretize the basic typical characteristics.

As an example, here are the most common drawings and additional characteristics of some subtypes (identified by the first drawing):

Rice. 9. The most common drawings of subtype 811.

The method of drawing men from geometric shapes has been used in psychology for a long time. Some believe that it was proposed by San Francisco graphologist E. Mahoney. But data confirming this, unfortunately, was not found. A systematic study of the results obtained by this test has begun relatively recently. A. V. Libin collected a large collection of such drawings.

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

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

Data processing: count how many triangles, circles and squares you have in the figure of a little man, and write this number in a three-digit number, for example: triangles - 3, circles - 2, squares - 5. It turns out the number: 325. Thus, we get a three-digit number, which means "drawing formula".

Based on the differences in the preferences of geometric shapes, when drawing 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 belong to Type 1 "Leader".

Numbers: 505, 514, 523, 532, 541, 550 - Type 2 "Responsible executor".

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 "the opposite of emotive."

Some comments on the psychological portrait can also be made on the features of the image of little men:

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

Reinforced shading - with internal tension, suspicion, sometimes with a state
prediseases;

Drawing a face is more 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 little man 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 concern for children;

The presence of round "buttons" - about sympathetic care for older loved ones;

The presence of "triangles" - about the need to make any order, instructions.

The 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). The "leader" is characterized by the presence of organizational and oratory skills, orientation to social norms of behavior, a high level of social adaptation. Persons of this type have a pronounced purposeful behavior, which characterizes them as leaders. In achieving the goal, they can not reckon with their health, they are stress-resistant. Oratory skills, the ability of a good storyteller allow them to engage in teaching work and pedagogical activities. Their will and energy are visible to all, as they represent their most striking qualities. The ability for intense volitional effort, long-lasting and stable, is reflected in their inner life and outer 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 strive for and in 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 to vigorous 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 executive power, and business leaders. People of this type have to revise their conclusions many times and redo their projects before finally being convinced of their correctness. Hence their well-known conservatism, disapproving attitude towards "shaking the foundations", towards criticism of established principles. When it comes to doing what they consider their duty, neither the temptations of a personal nature, nor the requests of loved ones, are able to turn them off the chosen path, which seems to them the only right one. They have a particularly developed 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 but protect his “I” from encroachment.

Type 2 - "Responsible executor" (505, 514, 523, 532, 541, 550). It has many features similar to the "leader" type, but often hesitates in making important decisions. People of this type usually have a high level of professionalism. They are highly demanding of themselves and others. The predominance of deliberate and rational actions over all spiritual movements leaves a peculiar imprint on all the qualities of a person. People of this type can often be found among the owners and managers of commercial and industrial enterprises, banks, that is, among people who deal with an organization made up of a large number of material and technical objects and documentation, which requires not only hard work, but also intelligence.
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 requirements of reason. Possessing a sufficiently developed intellect and will, they are well versed in the realities of life and their affairs, which they perform with great accuracy. They are often truthful. Due to the increased demands on themselves, they can work without noticing fatigue, undermining health. Diseases of nervous origin are their frequent companions. Therefore, "responsible performers" need to carefully monitor compliance with the regime of work and rest.

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

This type is characterized by a variety of abilities - from literary to the ability to fine manual skills. Despite the abundance of talents, he needs gentle encouragement, as he often unreasonably does not believe in himself, doubts himself. The “anxious-suspicious” type has an 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 within the same specialty, they have a hobby in which they are very successful. Often this new profession for them becomes art. Therefore, we can see how a doctor becomes a singer or entertainer, a former builder goes on stage and reads parodies, and a magazine editor begins to create arts and crafts. Often there are 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 fond of music,
the actor improves in vocal skills, etc.

For people of this type, art is essential, it is 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 susceptibility, developed imagination, and their heightened observation allows them to notice a lot of things that elude the eyes of others.

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

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

Type 4 - "Scientist" (307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370). People of this type in their judgments can easily abstract from reality, make interesting theoretical generalizations, "have their own theory for everything." As a rule, they have a tendency to clear, consistent thinking, the result of which is 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 work of thought. Analyzing the facts, they can, in the case of perseverance and method, make generalizations, turning a disordered heap of material into a harmonious, developed building of science, if science is their hobby or profession. This kind of ability helps people to take their rightful place in various fields of activity. Thus, a politician with a scientific mindset will be valuable because he is well versed in the complex interaction of factors that affect public life. The teacher can understand the complex processes of learning by students, and the businessman can 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 for scientific activity, summarizing their professional experience with a dissertation work or a book. They are rational, carefully think through their behavior. However, with all their rationality, they have very significant artistic abilities, they do not get lost on stage, they know what needs to be done when they are asked to “play something”. They gravitate toward "synthetic" forms of art: theater, cinema, circus, stage.

316 - in the field of science, these are, as a rule, "global theorists" dealing 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. She loves growing plants and caring for animals.

235 - a subtype often found among psychologists;

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

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

226 - a subtype characterized by setting the highest bar in their 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 streak", a rich imagination, spatial vision, often engage in some kind of technical types of creativity, are engaged in technical professions, are prone to design, invention. They adhere to those social norms that they create for themselves. More activity oriented. Emotional, obsessed with their own original ideas. Sometimes their creativity is manifested not only in the technical, materialized, but also in the intellectual sphere, the sphere of ideas. People of this type have a good memory, observation. The external material world usually interests them more than subjective experiences. Facts in their eyes are of much greater value than arguments and theories. Their will and energy rush to the materialization of ideas, inventions, rationalization, reorganization of technical objects. Possessing great working capacity, they often achieve significant results in their chosen activities. They usually have a lot of tools in their house, since their tendency to make, fix, repair, is often not only their profession, but also a hobby.

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

145 - a subtype who is fond of composing, or who 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 kindhearted. It is difficult to endure cruel film shots or excerpts from a criminal chronicle, they are especially sensitive to the misfortunes of others, so much so that any unpleasant news or events can unsettle them for a long time. Pain, suffering of other people respond in them with special force, it takes a lot of energy, which often prevents them from realizing their potential. People of this type have a strong emotional memory, depth and stability of feelings. They have warmth, cordiality and responsiveness, seeing as their purpose to help people in grief and need.

The peculiarities of their mental make-up allow us to call these people altruists capable of self-sacrifice. They are modest, trying to belittle and hide their merits, their importance, not counting on praise from others. Meek, sensitive and delicate, they are not able to take offense either themselves or offend others. But as far as their personal spiritual convictions are concerned, they can be adamant, do not succumb to threats and do not deviate a single step from what they consider fair. They have the ability to intuitively penetrate into the spiritual life and mental warehouse of another person. They believe in the possibility of enlightenment and the ideological and moral rebirth of mankind and have a passionate and selfless love for people who are in need and deprivation. They are active and energetic in the implementation of ideas that capture them deeply. 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 sympathy for others, but adhere to fairly strict requirements. Thus, sympathy for others is outwardly observed, but in specific cases they show severe demands, sometimes excessive. Extremely demanding teachers come out of these, who will “force” to do what is needed, despite the resistance, ailments and other reasons that their students refer to. They can be found among directors who are said to be "despots", among managers who are overly demanding of their subordinates. People of this type can often be found behind the counter of the store. They, as a rule, show their imperiousness, even rudeness. This is their way of self-affirmation. They feel good about people who “you can put pressure on” and are not shy about doing it. The desire to rise at all costs in life, to make a career makes people of this type concentrate all their energy and intellectual capabilities to achieve their goals, often using cunning, hypocrisy and resourcefulness. Possessing a wounded pride, sometimes in the simplest and most innocent jokes they see resentment, ridicule or mockery. They can be vengeful and seek revenge on the offender.

The purpose of the test is to identify individual typological differences. |Instruction: "You need to draw a human figure, made up of 10 elements, among which there may be triangles, circles, squares. You can increase or decrease these elements (geometric shapes) in size, overlay each other as needed. It is important that all these three elements were present in the image of a person, and the sum of the total number of figures used was equal to ten. If you used more figures when drawing, then you need to cross out the extra ones, but if you used less than ten figures, you need to finish the missing ones.

Material: the subjects are offered three sheets of paper 10x10 cm in size, each sheet is numbered and signed. On sheet No. 1, the first test drawing is performed, then, respectively, on sheet No. 2 - the second, on sheet No. 3 - the third. After completing the three drawings, the data is processed. If the instruction is violated, the data is not processed.
Data processing is carried out as follows: the number of triangles, circles and squares spent in the image of a person is counted (for each figure separately), and the result is written in the form of three-digit numbers, where hundreds will indicate the number of triangles, tens - the number of circles, units - the number of squares. These three-digit numbers make up the so-called "drawing formula", according to which the drawings are assigned to the corresponding types and subtypes, which are presented in Table 1.
Data interpretation. Our own empirical research, in which more than two thousand drawings were obtained and analyzed, showed us that the ratio of various elements in constructive drawings is not accidental. The analysis allows us to identify eight main types, which correspond to the typological characteristics described below.
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. The circle is a streamlined figure, more in tune with sympathy, softness, roundness, femininity. It is easier to build something from square-shaped elements than others, therefore a square, a rectangle are interpreted as a specifically technical constructive figure, a "technical module".
A typology based on the preference for geometric shapes allows one to form a kind of "system" of individual typological differences (see Table 1).

Types:

I type - "leader". Usually these are people who have a penchant for leadership and organizational activities, focused on socially significant norms of behavior, may have the gift of good storytellers, based on a high level of speech development. They have good adaptation in the social sphere, dominance over others is kept within certain boundaries. Such people usually choose a green color (according to M. Luscher) and draw a "Christmas tree" in the "Tree" test.

I can't imagine how this can work badly." People of this type are distinguished by special care in their work.
IV type - "scientist". These people easily abstract from reality, have a "conceptual mind", and are distinguished by the ability to develop their theories "for everything". Usually they have peace of mind and rationally think through their behavior.
Drawing formulas: 307, 316, 325, 334, 343, 352, 361, 370.

  2. responsible executor,
  3. anxious suspicious,
  4. scientist,
  5. intuitive,
  6. inventor,
  7. emotive,

Instruction

You need to draw a human figure, made up of 10 elements, among which there may be triangles, circles, squares. You can increase or decrease these elements (geometric shapes) in size, overlay 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 ten. If when drawing you used more figures, then you need to cross out the excess, but if you used less than ten figures, you need to finish the missing ones. Draw according to these instructions.

You will need three sheets of paper measuring 10x10 cm. Each sheet is numbered and signed. On sheet No. 1, the first test drawing is performed; further, respectively, on sheet No. 2 - the second, on sheet No. 3 - the third. After completing the three drawings, the data is processed. If the instructions are violated, the material is not processed.

Interpretation of the test "Constructive drawing of a person from geometric shapes"

Data processing is carried out as follows: the number of triangles, circles and squares spent in the image of a little man is counted (for each figure separately), and the result is recorded in the form of three-digit numbers, where hundreds indicate the number of triangles, tens - the number of circles, ones - the number of squares.

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

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.
