Last week in Assessment we studied the HTP (House-Tree-Person) projective test and were asked to complete the drawing to turn in to our professor, who took them home and analyzed them. I was a little anxious about getting them back as I am constantly amazed at how accurate testing proves to be, and as my grade is in this man’s hands, I was nervous about him analyzing my personality. I was pleasantly surprised to find that his results were exceptionally close to who I am, and that he didn’t see me as delusional, psychotic or bordering on the brink of a breakdown.
This was his analysis:
1. Partially in control of demands from the environment.
2. There is potential for meaningful social interaction and contribution.
3. Solid grounding emotionally and cognitively.
4. Much emotional nurturance felt. Perhaps emotionally encapsulated to some
degree.
5. A happy atmosphere representing joy and freedom emotionally.
6. Potential for trauma somewhere in the personal history.
7. An abundance of life energy shown in the anchoring felt by the person.
8. Warmth in the household.
9. Privacy in the household is a high value but there is social interaction
shown.

“He didn’t see me as delusional, psychotic or bordering on the brink of a breakdown.”
He was wrong…

I don’t wonder. I know. I have the bruises to prove it.
