Often, for fun or for the purpose of self-knowledge, we answer psychological tests... sometimes we are simply forced to answer them when applying for a job... so why not understand the secrets of psychological testing?

Psychological test No. 0 Response bias(I think this test is generally the most important)
If you do not know how to correctly answer such questions, your psychological testing will be completely pointless:
Do you ever have a bad mood?
Are you sometimes wrong?
Sometimes you make mistakes?
Does it happen that you offend your loved ones?
Does it ever happen that you can't concentrate?
Sometimes you don't have time to do everything?
Do you have bad days?
==============
If you answer no more than 1-2 times to such questions? This means that you have a tendency to not tell the truth about yourself - and this means that you may not even pass an interview with a psychologist when applying for a job... this means that you are not objective about yourself... this means that it is generally pointless for you to answer psychological tests ! You lie too often and your test results will often be biased.

Psychological test No. 1. Your favorite colors - test Luscher
You need to arrange cards of different colors in order, starting from the most pleasant to the most unpleasant. What does it mean? This test is aimed at determining the emotional state. Each card symbolizes a person’s needs:
red color - need for action

yellow - the need to strive for a goal, hope
green - the need to assert oneself;
blue - the need for affection, constancy;
purple - escape from reality;
brown - need for protection;
black - depression.
The arrangement of the cards means the following: the first two are a person’s aspirations, 3 and 4 are the true state of affairs, 5 and 6 are an indifferent attitude, 7 and 8 are antipathy, suppression.
Key for the test: in the first four there must be red, yellow, blue, green- in what order exactly is not so important. Arranging the cards in order close to the original one paints a portrait of a purposeful, active person

Psychological test No. 2. Drawing lesson
You are asked to draw a house, a tree, a person. What does it mean? It is believed that this is how a person can demonstrate his self-perception to the world. In this psychological test, every detail matters: the location of the drawing on the sheet (located in the center, a proportional drawing indicates self-confidence), a single composition of all objects indicates the integrity of the individual, what type of object will be displayed.
It is also important what is drawn first: house - the need for security, a person - self-obsession, a tree - the need for vital energy. In addition, the tree is a metaphor for aspirations (oak - self-confidence, willow - on the contrary - uncertainty); a person is a metaphor for how other people perceive themselves; a house is a metaphor for a person’s perception of himself (a castle is narcissism, a rickety hut is low self-esteem, dissatisfaction with oneself).
Key: Your drawing should be realistic and proportional. To demonstrate your sociability and willingness to work in a team, do not forget about the following details: the road to the porch (contact), the roots of the tree (connection with the team), windows and doors (kindness and openness), the sun (cheerfulness), the fruit tree (practicality) ), pet (care).

Psychological test No. 3. Story
You are shown pictures depicting people in various life situations and asked to comment on: what is happening; what a person is thinking about; why does he do this?
What does it mean? Based on the interpretation of the pictures, it is possible to determine the leading life scenarios of a person, in other words, “whoever hurts is the one who talks about it.” It is believed that a person projects the situations in the pictures onto his life and reveals his fears, desires, and view of the world. So, for example, if a picture shows a person crying or laughing, then it is expected that when you comment on it, you will talk about your reasons for joy or sadness.
Key: You need to control your answers and interpret the pictures in the most positive way possible.

Psychological test No. 4. Blob - Rorschach test
You are shown pictures of a shapeless blot (usually symmetrical) and asked to tell you what you see. What does it mean? This psychological test is somewhat similar to the previous one; it also reveals your true attitude towards the world. A positive interpretation of pictures (for example, people communicating) speaks of you as an active, sociable, positive person; a negative interpretation (you saw a monster, a dangerous animal in the blot) indicates that you have a lot of unreasonable fears or deep stress.
Key: If you associate a picture with something clearly negative, comment on it in a neutral way. For example, don’t say, “I see people arguing,” but say, “People are communicating emotionally.”

Psychological test No. 5. IQ test

You are asked to answer several questions (from 40 to 200) of different directions in a certain period of time (from 30 minutes) - from mathematical problems to logical puzzles. What does it mean? These psychological tests are designed to determine the so-called Intelligence Quotient. Although their effectiveness is increasingly being questioned (if a person has low scores, this does not necessarily mean that he is stupid, perhaps he has unconventional thinking or is simply simply inattentive), the tests have maintained and increased their popularity for many years. Eysenck's IQ tests are the most common.
Key: Be as careful as possible, there are a lot of trick questions. If time is running out and there are still a lot of questions, don’t leave them unanswered, write down the answers at random, you’ll probably guess something.

================
If you are taking tests when applying for a job, be calm during the interview... but don’t be indifferent - your motivation should be present but it should not go off scale....

The most important! Don't focus on tests at all.
The more unconventional you are, the more original you think, the less the tests tell the truth about you.
High school teachers considered physicist Einstein and inventor Edison mentally retarded...
Who remembers these teachers now... and who turned out to be right in the end?

The questions below are asked by recruiting agencies to their candidates to determine their mental abilities. Try this too. By doing this, you will not only appreciate the mental potential of your colleagues, but also lift the spirits of everyone present.

These questions reveal whether test takers have a good memory, whether they tend to find overly complex solutions to simple problems, and whether they have the ability to consider the consequences of previous actions when making important decisions and learn from their own mistakes.

Question 1

How to put a rhinoceros in the refrigerator?

Question 2

How to put a mammoth in the refrigerator?

Question 3

The king of beasts called all the animals to a meeting, to which all but one came. Who didn't show up to the meeting?

Question 4

You need to swim across the river, which is home to countless crocodiles. How will you cross the river?

You can voice the correct option immediately after receiving the answer, or read them after the participants have put forward their versions of all the questions.

Answer to 1st question

Open the refrigerator, place the rhinoceros in it, close the refrigerator.

Answer to 2nd question

Incorrect answer: open the refrigerator, place the mammoth in it, close the refrigerator.

Correct answer: open the refrigerator, take the rhinoceros out of it, place the mammoth in it, close the refrigerator.

Answer to question 3

This is a mammoth, since it was in the refrigerator at that time.

Answer to question 4

Of course, swim, because all the crocodiles are at a meeting with the king of beasts.

This test is often used when applying for a job. To do this, a potential employee is brought into a room in which, apart from a table and a couple of chairs, there is nothing, they are asked to wait for a while, then they leave and appear only after a couple of hours. If a person really needs this job, he won't go anywhere. The question is what he will do while waiting for his interlocutor. And depending on this, he is assigned to one or another division of the company.

Of course, you don’t need to lock an employee in an empty room to find out whether he was sent to work in the right department. It is enough to select several volunteers, give them pencils and options for spending time printed on separate sheets of paper, and describe the situation to them in approximately the following words: “Imagine that you have come to get a job at our company. The secretary met you, took you into a room with white walls, in which the only furniture was 2 chairs and a table, and asked you to wait a few minutes, but he himself disappeared for almost 2 hours. You really want to work in our company, so you will be patient and wait. To brighten up the wait, you will choose one of the 11 options described on the pieces of paper and circle it with a pencil.” Also ask all test takers to sign the slips, then collect them and announce the results.

1. I will disassemble the table into parts.

3. I will begin to hum something and at the same time gesticulate strongly.

4. I will talk to the furniture.

5. I won’t waste time and take a little nap.

6. I will write a letter in which I will express everything I think about the current situation.

7. I will remain completely calm and will not even turn around to look at whoever enters the room.

8. I will be nervous, but I will try to convince myself that everything is not so bad.

9. I'll try to play with my glasses.

10. I will study furniture defects.

11. I will try to repair a broken chair.

If the test taker chose the first option, he belongs in the research and information department.

If the test taker chose the second option, he will perform best in the finance department.

If the test taker chose the third option, send it to the help desk.

If the test taker chose the fourth option, the most suitable place for him is the human resources department.

If the test taker chose the fifth option, he is a born manager.

If the test taker chose the sixth option, get him a job in the technical documentation department.

If the test taker chose the seventh option, the company will benefit if he works in the security service.

If the test taker chose option eight, send it to the marketing department.

If the test taker chose the ninth option, trust him with the software.

If the test taker chose the tenth option, the supply department is his natural element.

If the test taker chose the eleventh option, no one can handle sales issues better than him.

This comic test can be offered to those who doubt the correctness of their choice of profession. Before asking a single question, give participants pencils and paper with possible answers and ask them to sign them and check the box that they think is correct. Then collect the leaves and announce the results.

You are used to going with the flow. Being a leader is not your path. It is much easier to follow someone else's orders than to take the initiative into your own hands and bear responsibility for it.

Most options B and C.

You can be envied. In a past life, you were a beautiful king penguin living in Antarctica. Over your long life, you have acquired numerous offspring (79 children), who bear fruit and multiply to this day.

For everyone to learn a lot of interesting things about themselves, it is enough to answer just 3 questions. Write on the posters the names of the animals and flowers that are discussed in the test, and voice the questions. Participants must record their answers on paper. After completing the tasks, announce the results.

1. Place the following animals in order based on your liking for them.

A. Cow.

2. Find a short definition for the following words.

D. Dog.

G. Red.

D. Orange.

The first question is responsible for setting priorities in a person’s life.

A cow is a career.

The horse is family.

The monkey is money.

Sheep is love.

The tiger is pride.

The definitions of these words describe and express the attitude:

Coffee is for love.

Cat - to a friend or partner.

Rat - to the enemy.

Ocean - to your own life.

The dog is to oneself.

As for the colors, they mean the following.

White - this person is your true friend.

Yellow is a person who will always remember you.

Green is a person you will never forget.

Red is the person you truly love.

For this test you will need Whatman paper, markers and an unlimited number of participants. On your command, they should each begin to complete the task on their own sheet of paper.

1. Draw a small circle in the center of the sheet.

2. Draw lines through the center of the circle that go beyond its limits and divide the sheet into 4 sectors.

3. In each of the resulting sectors, write one of the letters: L, P, R, S.

4. Outside the 1st circle, draw the 2nd.

5. In each of the 4 sectors of the new circle, write one of the numbers: 1, 2, 3 and 4.

6. Outside the 2nd circle, draw the 3rd and in its sectors write 1 animal each (you can also write insects, fish or birds).

7. Outside the 3rd circle, draw the 4th and in the new sectors write 1 character trait (for example, honesty, capriciousness, etc.).

8. Draw the last circle in the same way as the previous ones and write in a proverb, catchphrase, etc. in the resulting sectors.

1st round

L means "love".

P means "bed".

R means "work".

WITH means "family".

2nd round

Based on this circle and the numbers in it, one can judge a person’s priorities in relation to love, bed, family and work.

3rd and 4th circles

They need to be analyzed simultaneously. They give a detailed description of the personality of the writer and artist. First read the character trait, then the animal, and then look at which sector the resulting phrase belongs to. The result is very funny. For example, a stingy elk in bed, a boring hedgehog in love, an honest mare at work, etc.

5th circle

Phrases from this circle characterize a person in love, bed, family and work. For example, bed - “Seven do not wait for one”, love - “You can’t pull a fish out of a pond without labor,” etc.

This is a very short, but no less interesting and funny test joke. To carry it out, you just need to give everyone present a few tasks.

1. Think of any number from 2 to 9.

2. Multiply it by 9.

3. Add the digits of the resulting two-digit number together.

4. For the first letter of the resulting number, guess a European country.

5. Create an animal for the third letter of the name of this country.

Now ask the question: “Did everyone make a wish? Where did you get the idea that rhinoceroses live in Denmark?”

Based on which part of the body a person begins to wash first, one can judge some of his character traits. Ask test participants just one question: “When you are in a bathhouse, shower or bath, where do you start washing?”

Hands

This is not to say that you combine many talents. Their absence is compensated by your hard work, desire to selflessly help others, reliability and decency. For this you are very much appreciated and loved, but, however, not with the kind of love that you would like.

Breast

You, as they say, are a man of action. Purposefulness, straightforwardness, honesty and integrity - these are the qualities that fully characterize you. Your motto is to always go forward. However, along the way you often encounter misunderstandings, and this greatly irritates you. You take advantage of signs of attention from members of the opposite sex.

Face

The most important thing in life for you is material well-being; the rest, in your opinion, is nonsense. There is only one person you truly love, and that is yourself.

You are absolutely not interested in what others think about you. But you have a lot of advantages, thanks to which you do not sit alone.

Private parts of the body

Shyness is what sets you apart from the rest. When communicating with others, you lack confidence and courage. Because of this, you have practically no friends and problems in your personal life. However, everything is in your hands. If you want to change something in your life, you will do it. How? Only you can answer this question.

Shoulders

Bad luck follows you around. Whatever you undertake, it ends either in failure or in nothing. This leads to problems with the opposite sex. However, you are not at all hopeless. Declare to yourself that you are the coolest and luckiest person in the world, stop believing in bad omens and listen to the advice of others, and then the bad streak in your life will end.

Other body part

Every person has a highlight, but in you it is so deep that it is not visible. To get noticed, you need to do something extraordinary, perhaps take part in the filming of a popular talk show.

American psychologists have identified the dependence of a person’s character on the berries and fruits that he prefers to eat. They carried out a thorough analysis, which made it possible to identify people by type - such as Oranges, Pears, Apples, Strawberries and Cherries - and give them a fairly detailed description.

To conduct this test, write the listed fruits and berries on a poster and hang it in such a way that everyone present can see it. Ask the audience which of these fruits they prefer, and then read the characteristics below.

Oranges

As a rule, Oranges are loving natures. They cannot live without constant attention from others, against whom they are accustomed to stand out for their originality.

Oranges are literally charged with energy; they create something for days on end, without sitting in one place for a second.

As for relationships with the opposite sex, they are able to fall in love with themselves in one minute, have a pleasant time with the object of their adoration and just as quickly part with him.

Pears

Pears are great optimists by nature. They quickly and easily get along with people who like the love of life and unquenchable sense of humor of these fruits. It's always fun and comfortable with Pears. Life is in full swing around them. Pears are wonderful friends who will always come to the rescue in difficult times.

Apples

Apples are big conservatives. The latest technological advances are not for them. They prefer to surround their lives with antiques or simply old things, which, in their opinion, contain the soul. And in relationships with people, they are of the opinion that an old friend is better than two new ones.

Strawberry

Jealousy is the feeling that characterizes Klubnik. They like large and noisy companies, fun parties and holidays. They are often the ringleaders in any company. But if suddenly their other half gets the idea to flirt with someone, a scandal will inevitably arise.

Cherries

Mental gentleness and kindness distinguish the Cherry person. This is a true philanthropist, capable of sincerely and selflessly helping others, giving them his love and affection. Such people are childishly naive and sweet, and also love pranks and surprises.

Look at the composition made up of four geometric shapes and one freeform one. You must paint one figure, part of a figure, or several in such a way that the drawing becomes complete.

Each of the figures presented in the test is a symbol that can and should be deciphered. Let's look at each figure separately.

The circle is your communication skills, the ability to compromise, the ability to smooth out rough edges. If you only filled in the circle, then you can be called an excellent performer, an ideal subordinate,
You know how to work in any team and get along with almost all people.

The square is your firmness and integrity, the ability to insist on your own, the ability to make decisions. If you have painted only a square, this means that you will be able to complete any task
and do the hardest work. You are hardworking and diligent.

Oval is the flexibility of your thinking, initiative, ability to grasp new trends
and trends, ability to analyze. If you have selected only Oval, then this indicates your desire to play
a leading role in a team, you simply cannot be satisfied with the role of a diligent performer,
You need to feel ahead of everyone, and you really are one step ahead of your colleagues.

An arbitrary figure is your creativity, rebellion, desire to destroy the old and create the new. If you painted over only this figure, then you can be called a rebel and an upstart; you will work in a team only if your leader earns your sincere admiration and respect.
You do not recognize generally accepted authorities; you establish them yourself.

The largest figure, a rectangle, is the group into which you fit or not.
If you partially painted one (two, three or all) figures in such a way that the painted parts ended up in the rectangle, and the figures outside it remained unpainted, then this indicates your diligence. You love and know how to work in a team, although if necessary you could work independently.

If you have painted over the entire rectangle, leaving only the figures “crawling” onto it unpainted, then this indicates that you are not able to take initiative in anything, you are not independent, and collective work is the only acceptable way of working for you. You need a leader like a sheep needs a shepherd. You are a follower in life.

Most people spend about 8 hours a day at work and communicate with their colleagues as much as with their families. Therefore, relationships with colleagues are an important element of a person’s life. Bad relationships with colleagues can not only damage a career or business, but can also unbalance any person for a very long time.

Questions

1. Do you, when criticizing, try to reason with those who make mistakes or “whip” them so that they will not behave again in the future?

2. Do you need complete control over everything that happens in your organization?

3. Do you require almost all events to receive your “visa”?

4. Are your presentations at meetings too long?

5. Do you have a habit of recklessly attacking opponents to challenge their arguments?

6. Do you feel the need to argue? Are you quick to become argumentative in any discussion?

7. Do people around you avoid discussing their plans with you?

8. And if they are discussing, are they talking defensively or offensively from the very beginning?

9. Are external symbols of status and power very important to you?

10. Do you avoid responsibility in case of failure at any cost?

11. Are you willing or unwilling to grant others the same privileges or symbols of power that you yourself possess?

12. Do you use the pronoun “I” too often when talking about your activities?

13. Do your subordinates admire your determination and qualifications, or the fact that in your organization and with your support they themselves can be decisive and constantly improve their qualifications?

14. Do you feel with bitterness and disappointment that people talk about you with restraint and with coldness, while you really want them to love you?

15. Do you consider yourself indisputably more competent than your colleagues and managers? Are you hinting this to them through your behavior?

Result

If you answered positively to at least three out of fifteen questions, then it is possible that some “rough” facets of your character are very painfully perceived by others.

If you gave six positive answers, then it is very likely that your relationships with your colleagues are a little more strained than you would like.

There is no need to talk about more “yes”. It only needs to be emphasized that a positive answer to any of these questions does not indicate anything. Only in combination do they outline the profile of a “rough” person.

There are still two hours before the lunch break. Walking along the corridor, you see three workers from your workshop, who are animatedly talking about something and not paying attention to you. Returning 20 minutes later, you see the same picture.

These tests will help you find out what kind of atmosphere reigns in your team and what needs to be done to improve it. If the test result turns out to be negative, you have the right to embellish it so as not to spoil the holiday atmosphere, but at your leisure, analyze the answers and invite your colleagues to find a way out of the current situation.

Distribute questionnaires with questions to your colleagues before the corporate holiday, then calculate the results obtained and draw a conclusion about the relationships in the team in front of those gathered. The test is very short, so you can do it during a party right at the festive table.

1. Do your colleagues know about your extra-professional hobbies?

A. No, my colleagues do not need to know anything about me that is not work related.

B. Possibly, since I might have mentioned it in an informal conversation.

B. Yes, of course, we periodically share such information with each other.

2. How relaxed and free are you able to behave at a corporate event?

A. If possible, I try to behave with restraint, so that there is no reason for gossip and gossip, as well as reproaches from my superiors.

B. In an informal setting, it is quite possible to allow yourself to relax and rest properly.

B. I behave relaxed even during working hours, and even more so at a corporate event.

3. One of your colleagues asked his boss to increase his salary due to financial problems in the family. Did he do the right thing?

A. No, the salary level should not depend on the employee’s financial problems, but on the quality of the work he performs.

B. Of course, he can be understood, but the reason for the salary increase should be more convincing.

B. Of course, the colleague is right, and the boss should listen to the request of the subordinate and meet him halfway.

4. In the morning, before work, you felt unwell. What will you do?

A. Poor health is not a reason to refuse work, especially since the bosses do not welcome absentees, even if the reason is valid.

B. Whether I go to work or stay at home depends on the degree of illness.

B. Of course, I’ll stay at home for a day or two, and then catch up.

5. Your colleague clearly drank too much the day before, and his work is not going well today. What are your thoughts on this?

A. He had to think earlier about the state in which he would come to work, but now there is no need to be sick, he needs to work.

B. I don’t care how my colleague feels and how he works, it has nothing to do with me.

B. This can happen to anyone, I need to ask a colleague if there is anything I can do to help him.

6. What do you know about the personal lives of your colleagues?

A. Very little - marital status and the presence or absence of children.

B. Only what they consider necessary to tell about themselves.

B. Almost everything, because the team is one big family in which nothing can be hidden.

7. Can you lend your colleague some money?

A. In our team, it’s not customary to give or borrow, so I’m unlikely to be asked to do this.

B. It all depends on who is asking and what exact amount.

B. If I have such a sum, I will definitely help out my colleague, because I could find myself in a similar situation.

8. As a result of the negligence of one of the employees, the results of overall work were low. Would you consider it your duty to report this to your superiors?

A. Of course, our management strictly monitors the quality of work and always punishes those responsible.

B. No, if this is an exception to the rule and not the norm, we will all talk sternly with our colleague and try to correct the situation through joint efforts.

B. No, because we are colleagues, not informers.

Most answers are A.

Your life is clearly divided into work and everything that does not concern it. With colleagues, you prefer to maintain exclusively business relationships that do not go beyond work. Because of this, you are often called a cracker and a human machine behind your back.

You may not see anything wrong with this, but a little warmth and participation in communication with colleagues will not hurt you at all. After all, it is much more pleasant to work in a supportive and friendly atmosphere.

Most answers B.

In your life, you try to separate the personal and professional, and you do it well. You tend to avoid making friends at work because it might interfere with your ambitious plans.

In addition, formal relations with colleagues will avoid many misunderstandings. In some ways, you are certainly right, but such a line of behavior does not contribute to the emergence of spiritual comfort and warmth. But sometimes the participation of colleagues and their moral support are so necessary.

Most of the answers are V.

It would be more correct to call your relationship with your colleagues

friendly than professional. Your team is famous for the fact that everyone will come to the rescue of the other, give the necessary advice, listen and support. Your motto: “One for all and all for one!”

Relationships with colleagues are an important moment in a person’s life, because we spend most of our time at work. In this regard, it is desirable that we be surrounded by a friendly and warm atmosphere on working days. Then things will go smoothly, and your mood will always be excellent, and your health will not suffer due to worries about conflicts and misunderstandings.

Hand out questionnaires with questions to your colleagues and encourage them to answer them sincerely. After everyone has completed the task, collect the pieces of paper, count the results (award 1 point for each positive answer) and voice them.

1. When criticizing your colleague, did you want to reason with him so that he would not make similar mistakes in the future?

2. Would you like all events held in your organization to receive your “okay”?

3. Would you like the activities of the organization in which you work to be completely under your control?

4. Do you consider your speeches in front of colleagues to be too long?

5. Have you noticed your habit of “crush” opponents in a dispute, not allowing them to insert even a word in defense of their position?

6. Do you like to get into arguments with different people?

7. Do you quickly turn any discussion into a heated argument?

8. Have you noticed that your colleagues, when communicating with you, tend to talk in a defensive manner?

9. Have you noticed that colleagues avoid discussing their work plans with you?

10. Are the external attributes of power and high position very important to you?

11. Are you able to take responsibility for your own mistakes and mistakes?

12. When talking about the essence of your work, do you use the pronoun “I” too often?

13. Are you willing to share with a colleague privileges or power that you yourself possess?

14. Do your colleagues admire your determination and professional qualities?

15. Do you feel restraint and coldness in relationships on the part of your colleagues, while you expect cordiality and recognition from them?

16. Do you think that your colleagues are much less competent and do not have the professional qualities that you undoubtedly have?

Less than 6 points. Your relationships with colleagues are not always smooth. Most likely, the reason for this is you yourself, or rather, some “rough” traits of your character. Try to control your emotions and words, and then communication with colleagues will be less painful for both you and them.

More than 7 points. If you still have any relationships with your colleagues, that's amazing. It is possible that they are trying to avoid you so as not to run into a scandal. Tension in relationships can only be avoided if you learn to see in your employees not just workers with whom you are forced to spend several hours a day, but also ordinary people with their moods, weaknesses and emotions.
