Purpose

: Projective testing should be conducted by trained psychologists to ensure accurate and sensitive interpretation of results.

: Test results need to be analyzed on an individual basis, as each person's reactions and interpretations are unique.

: Projective testing is often used in conjunction with other assessment tools to obtain a more comprehensive psychological assessment.

: Since interpretation is highly dependent on the tester's judgment, there may be subjectivity.

: Test interpretation needs to take into account the individual’s cultural background and social environment.

: Should be viewed as an adjunct to psychological assessment rather than as the sole diagnostic method.

: It is generally considered to be a common and innate emotional response of human beings. Basic emotions are cross-cultural and universally experienced emotion types.

: Basic emotions play an important role in understanding human behavior, decision-making processes, and social interactions.

: By analyzing an individual’s preferences, interpretations and emotional responses to squares and circles, the individual’s personality traits, thinking patterns and emotional states can be revealed.

Display images containing squares and circles.

Participants were asked to explain their feelings and associations with these shapes.

Participants were asked to choose the shape they preferred and explain why.

Based on squares and circles, subjects were asked to imagine a story or scenario.

Explore subjects' emotional responses to different shapes.

: Research shows that different geometric shapes can trigger different psychological reactions and emotional states.

: The belief that individuals project their emotions, desires, and conflicts onto vague or abstract stimuli.

A square preference may be related to personality traits that require stability and order.
