We invite you to take a break for five minutes and take a short psychological test to evaluate your ability to work in a team. Which one of you is your subordinate? Do you prefer to work in a team or alone?Materials from the book "Talking Drawing. 100 Graphic Tests" were used.

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 most difficult 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.

Data processing.

Each answer to option “a” is scored 4 points, “B” - 3, “c” - 2, “d” - 1 point. Calculate the total points for the selected answer options. The possible range of test scores is from 5 to 20. The highest score may indicate good relationships in the group and a high group cohesion index, and vice versa.

Diagram of relationships in group No. 14.

70% of students have friendly relations with all members of the group;

20% - maintain good relationships, but prefer their own social circle;

8% - communicate with classmates, because this is a necessity related to their studies;

2% of students did not find a common language with the group.

2. Determination of the psychological climate of the class.

For a general assessment of the main manifestations of the psychological climate in a group, you can use a diagram map. In it, on the left side of the sheet, those qualities of the team that characterize a favorable psychological climate are described, on the right - the qualities of the team with a clearly unfavorable climate. The degree of expression of certain qualities can be determined using a seven-point scale placed in the center of the sheet (from +3 to - 3).

Using the diagram, you should first read the sentence on the left, then on the right, and then with a “+” sign, mark in the middle part of the sheet the assessment that most closely matches the truth. It should be borne in mind that ratings mean:

3 - the property indicated on the left always manifests itself in the team;

2 - the property manifests itself in most cases;

1 - the property appears quite often;

0 - neither this nor the opposite (indicated on the right) properties are manifested clearly enough, or both are manifested to the same extent;

1 - the opposite property (indicated on the right) appears quite often;

2 - the property manifests itself in most cases;

3 - the property always appears.

Positive Features								Negative Features
A cheerful and cheerful mood prevails								Depressed mood and pessimistic tone prevail
Goodwill prevails in relationships, mutual sympathy								Conflict in relationships, aggressiveness, and aversions predominate
In the relations between groups within the team there is mutual disposition and understanding								Groups are in conflict with each other
Team members enjoy being together, participating in joint activities, and spending free time together								Team members show indifference to closer communication
The successes or failures of individual team members evoke empathy and participation of all team members								The successes and failures of team members leave others indifferent
Approval and support prevail, reproaches and criticism are expressed with good intentions								Critical remarks are in the nature of obvious and hidden attacks
Team members respect each other's opinions								In a team, everyone considers their own opinion to be the most important and is intolerant of the opinions of their comrades.
In difficult moments for the team, emotional unity occurs according to the principle “one for all, all for one”								In difficult cases, the team “grows limp”, confusion appears, quarrels and mutual accusations arise
The achievements or failures of the team are experienced by everyone as their own								The achievements or failures of the entire team do not resonate with its individual representatives
The team treats new members sympathetically and kindly and tries to help them get comfortable								Newcomers feel superfluous, alien, and are often shown hostility
The team is active and full of energy								The team is passive, inert
The team responds quickly if you need to do something useful								It is impossible to motivate a team to do something together; everyone thinks only about their own interests
The team has a fair attitude towards all members, they support the weak and speak out in their defense								The team is divided into “privileged” and “neglected”; here they treat the weak with contempt and ridicule them
Team members show a sense of pride in their team if it is noted by managers								People here are indifferent to praise and encouragement from the team.

To present the overall picture of the psychological climate of the team, you need to add up all the positive and negative points. The obtained result can serve as a conditional characteristic of the psychological climate of a greater or lesser degree of favorability.

3. Individual training.

This form of training is unique.

Someone else's company.

Invite students to observe students in a class they are unfamiliar (or little familiar with) (or any organized group of people in general) and try to answer the following questions:

a) Who from the group is the most popular and respected?

b) Why (his personal, business or other qualities)?

c) Who is the least popular?

d) Why?

d) Who is the silent asset of the class?

f) Who is who in this asset (organizer, business and emotional leader, craftsmen, etc.)?

g) Who is the greatest individualist?

h) Which groups of people have closer relationships?

i) What can connect them?

Students can check the correctness of their conclusions by coming into contact with members of the group under study, which in itself represents a new level of mastering communication skills.

4. Group training.

This training allows you to reveal and identify the mechanisms of relationships in groups. These exercises are recommended by a psychologist.

Bad company.

Twelve people participate in the game: Leader, Authority, Close (two people). The Toady, the Jester, the Puppets (two people), the Dissatisfied (two people) and the Downtrodden (two people). Initially, the performers of these roles should be selected by the presenter himself, but always from among the volunteers, but in the future it is necessary to invite spectators to one or another role and generally change the role within the most “successful”, primitive group, so that everyone can be “in the shoes” of everyone.

The most important element of the game is the rules of interaction between its participants, the implementation of which must be closely monitored by the leader and, in addition to him, one of the non-players. These rules are:

The leader has the right to interrupt anyone. Authority - anyone except the Leader. Close - anyone except the Leader and Authority. A sycophant - anyone except the Close One, the Authority and the Leader. Jester - everyone except the Leader. Puppet - only the Dissatisfied and the Leader. Dissatisfied - everyone except the Leader and the Authority of the Downtrodden is cut off by anyone, he - no one.

A player who violates these rules is transferred to the Downtrodden, but if the Downtrodden himself violated them, then he can not only be unanimously condemned, but also simply expelled.

However, in addition to strict adherence to the rules, this game requires a fairly high level of theatricalization through masks, false beards, symbols, etc. (to begin with, at a minimum, it is necessary that everyone has a sign with the name of the role). The author of the game suggests playing it in two versions - ordinary and theatrical, however, for a number of reasons that simply cannot be given here, we recommend using the theatrical version. There are quite a lot of forms of such theatricalization - a gang of gangsters, a pirate ship, a primitive tribe, a pack of wolves, etc., but the main thing here, perhaps, is that, despite the peculiar “plot” provoking the aggressiveness of the participants, the theatrical version allows them to really lose , revealing at the same time many pressing sores of youthful relationships.

After the end of the game, it is advisable to discuss it, where the main thing should be the final discrediting of the “bad company” and a call for the creation of a genuine team.

5. Anatomy of communication.

The only luxury given to man is communication. Without and without communication, the existence of the human community is impossible. And it is no coincidence that numerous studies by psychologists have proven that there is a direct and strong connection between the quality of communication and the psychological climate in a group. To understand how a teenager builds his communication, you can conduct the following test.

Test by V. Ryakhovsky

This test makes it possible to determine a person’s level of communication skills. You should answer his questions using three answer options – “yes”, “sometimes” and “no”.
Questions

You are about to have an ordinary or business meeting. Does her anticipation unsettle you? Yes; Sometimes; No. Do you put off visiting a doctor until it becomes completely unbearable? Yes; Sometimes; No. Does the assignment to deliver a report, message, or information at any meeting cause you confusion or displeasure? Yes; Sometimes; No. You have to go on a business trip to a city where you have never been. Will you make every effort to avoid this business trip? Yes; Sometimes; No. Do you like to share your experiences with anyone? Yes; Sometimes; No. Do you get annoyed if a stranger on the street asks you (to show the way, tell the time, answer some question)? Yes; Sometimes; No. Do you believe that there is a problem of “fathers and sons” and that it is difficult for people of different generations to understand each other? Yes; Sometimes; No. Are you embarrassed to remind a friend that he forgot to return you 10 rubles that he borrowed several months ago? Yes; Sometimes; No. In a cafe or canteen you were served an obviously poor quality dish. Do you remain silent, only pushing your plate away with irritation? Yes; Sometimes; No. If you find yourself alone with a stranger, you will not enter into a conversation with him and will be burdened if he speaks first. Is it so? Yes; Sometimes; No. You are horrified by any long line, no matter where it is (in a store, library, cinema box office). Would you rather give up your intention than stand in the back and languish in anticipation? Yes; Sometimes; No. Are you afraid to participate in any commission to consider a conflict situation? Yes; Sometimes; No. You have your own, purely individual criteria for evaluating works of literature, art, culture, and you do not accept any “other people’s” opinions. This is true? Yes; Sometimes; No. Having heard somewhere on the sidelines an obviously erroneous point of view on an issue that is well known to you, do you prefer to remain silent? Yes; Sometimes; No. Do you feel annoyed when someone asks you to help you understand a complex issue or educational topic? Yes; Sometimes; No. Are you more willing to express your point of view (opinion, assessment) in writing than orally? Yes; Sometimes; No.

Key to the test . Answers “yes” - 2 points; “sometimes” - 1 point; “no” - 0 points.

Interpretation of results. 30 – 32 points. You are clearly uncommunicative, and this is your misfortune, since you yourself suffer the most from this. But it’s not easy for people close to you either! It is difficult to rely on you in a matter that requires group effort. Try to be more sociable, control yourself.

25 – 29 points. You are reserved, taciturn, prefer solitude, and therefore you probably have few friends. A new job and the need for new contacts, if not throwing you into panic, will throw you off balance for a long time. You know this feature of your character and are dissatisfied with yourself. But you don’t limit yourself only to such discontent: you have the power to reverse these character traits. Doesn’t it happen that with some strong passion you “suddenly” acquire complete communication skills? You just have to shake yourself up.

19 – 24 points. You are to a certain extent sociable and feel quite confident in familiar surroundings. New problems do not frighten you, and yet you approach new people with caution; you do not willingly participate in disputes. Your statements sometimes contain too much sarcasm without any justification. These shortcomings can be eliminated.

14 – 18 points. Your communication skills are normal. You are inquisitive, willingly listen to an interesting interlocutor, are patient enough in communicating with others, and defend your point without passion. You go to meet new people without any unpleasant experiences. At the same time, you don’t like noisy companies; extravagant antics and verbosity irritate you.

9 – 13 points. You are very sociable (sometimes, perhaps even beyond measure), curious, talkative, and like to speak out on various issues, which sometimes irritates others. You willingly meet new people and do not refuse anyone’s request, although you cannot always fulfill it. Sometimes you get angry, but quickly move away. What you lack is perseverance, patience and courage when faced with serious problems. If you want, however, you can force yourself not to retreat.

4 – 8 points. You must be a “shirt guy.” Sociability flows out of you. You are always aware of everything. Love to take part in all discussions, although serious topics may make you sad. You willingly take the floor on any issue, even if you have a superficial understanding of it. Everywhere you feel at ease. You take on any task, although you are not always able to successfully complete it. For this reason, your manager and colleagues treat you with some caution and doubt. Think about these facts!

3 points or less. Your communication skills are painful. You are talkative, verbose, interfere in matters that have nothing to do with you, and undertake to judge problems in which you are completely incompetent. Knowingly or unwittingly, you are often the cause of various kinds of conflicts. You need to engage in self-education.

7. Creating a poster “We are together.”

A game form of conducting a class hour - a game aimed at uniting the group. I usually conduct this lesson at the beginning of the school year, when the children still don’t know each other well.

At the beginning of the lesson, a conversation is held about the importance of friendship and group cohesion.

Each group member is given templates of various objects (flower, sun, cloud, butterfly, tree, etc.), colored paper, markers, scissors. Students are asked to choose a template, transfer it to colored paper, cut it out and sign their name. After that, everyone sticks their “drawing” on a large Whatman paper. In the process of designing a poster, there is a discussion: what to stick where. When the work is completed, the resulting poster is discussed.

8. Security.

Questionnaire – survey “Determining the level of safety of a teenager in a group.”

Students are warned that the answers will not be known to classmates.

Questionnaire

1. I am afraid that my classmates will laugh at me when I answer at the board (yes, no).

2. No matter what's going on in my life, when I walk into class I feel better (yes, no).

3. I often have a stomach or headache, and I often feel like I’m about to cry (yes, no).

4. There is a person in my group to whom I can tell about my problems (yes, no).

5. I know that no one in my group will hurt me (yes, no).

6. I am sure that my teacher (class teacher, master) will respect me, even if I make some mistake (yes, no).

7. I know the rules that must be followed in our educational institution. I know what will happen if I break them (yes, no).

8. I'm afraid that my classmates will make fun of me because of my appearance (yes, no).

Answers to the questions asked allow me to create a picture of how a teenager feels in school or in a group. Taking into account the information received, I build my interaction with each member of the group.

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?

Answers

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 the 4th question

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

Test “Where to assign an employee?”

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.

Pastime options

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.

results

To calculate the number of points scored, offer test participants for each answer “Yes” to questions 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and for each answer “No” to questions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 , 14, 15 are awarded 10 points, and for the answers “I don’t know” – 5 points.

More than 116 points.

Of course you are the boss. If you are still not in a position of responsibility, it is a big mistake on your boss's part. You have qualities such as honesty, independence, integrity, hard work and determination. You are characterized by professionalism, the ability to find an approach to people and organizational skills.

From 96 to 115 points.

Are you a boss or a subordinate? It all depends on the situation. You can lead if you see any benefit in it, and obey if you think it would be better for you to hide in the shadows for a while.

Less than 95 points.

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. However, everyone chooses their own path, because if there are bosses, there must also be subordinates.

Quiz: How many years will it take you to become a millionaire?

Ask one of your colleagues to take this humorous test. Attach a Whatman paper to the wall with the following text:

Your salary: ____________________ rubles.

Estimated salary growth per year: ____________________% each year.

How many rubles can you save annually: ____________________ rubles.

The test taker must write in the numbers with a marker. As soon as he does this, announce the result.

Result

According to your annual income, you have a chance to earn:

1 million – in 83 years.

10 million – in 138 years.

100 million in – 169 years.

Answer options

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 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.

The more correct answers to the questions of this test, the higher the level of intelligence.

Test "Fruits and berries"

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.

Characteristics of fruits and berries

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.

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.

Production situations

The test was developed and tested by Leningrad industrial psychologist A. A. Ershov and is aimed at assessing 4 types of leader orientation in the management process.

How to answer psychological tests?

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: the first four 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?
