Can Fang Shu Ren measure intelligence? How to do

House-tree-person is a projection test. Simply put, it is to use people's subconscious to work and show the parts that can't be expressed in words on drawing paper. Experienced counselors can discover people's hidden wishes and worries according to clues. ?

A common feature of projection test is that it is difficult to standardize the answers, because everyone draws different things, and even if there is a certain classification, it is impossible to accurately predict "what the person who draws this must look like", so it is not psychological measurement, but fortune telling. ?

At the same time, the measurement of curtilage tree people itself is not only to detect other people's hearts, but it has certain regularity and rationality, but we can't blindly believe that such a measurement method can know other people's thoughts. More often, it is through the theme of the party to explore and discover the parts that the parties themselves are not aware of, so as to seek solutions to the problems in the reality of TA, rather than prying into the privacy of others and satisfying their curiosity. ?

In addition, Fang's explanation needs to be used by "laymen". Amateurs are people who have never been exposed to this field, and if once TA knows how to draw, what kind of explanation will it bring, it is easy to hide. For example, you explain: "The tree is full of fruits, which proves that your heart is full and you have gained a lot in life." Then I can draw apples easily next time, which proves that I am a wholehearted person. This situation is called "mask sand table" in the same type of projection test-sand table game therapy, that is, the subjects know what will be praised and try to draw in that direction. ?

Any kind of test is just a tool, and how it works depends on the people who use it. Psychological intelligence itself is another theme defined by people, and there is a corresponding intelligence scale. House-tree-person is not used to doing this, so it is impossible to measure intelligence, just as it is impossible to measure speed with a thermometer. ?
