Easiest of the deep psychological tests to self administer

I have no clear idea of exactly why the Luscher color test works, I simply know that, in my own case, it proved incredibly accurate. It is amazing that a simple selection sequence of eight colored cards could reveal so much about internal anxieties, compensations, and conflicts. Yet, there definately is a correlation with these inner states and color preference. This is probably the easiest of the deep psychological tests to administer and interpret. It is not a game and is not to be used carelessly or improperly. In fact, I first heard about it in graduate school when I overheard one of the psychology professors go ballistic when he found that the undergraduates were administering the test to each other. He wasn't upset because he thought it was nonsense, on the contrary, he was upset because he knew it to be a deep and powerful tool with the potential to do great damage if misused. One further warning, if you buy an older edition of this book make sure that: #1 the eight cards are included, and #2 that they are not too badly faded. Oh yes, the text states that this test is still accurate even if you are color blind!

Life Altering for Me

I started getting into psych books in 1985 and lucked into this one early on. I have used it over the decades to help countless other people in determining the source of inner conflicts. It is based on extensive scientific research in Germany in the 40's-60's. You can read more about the history from Luscher himself at the Luscher-Color web site, just be sure to hit the

discover your colors

a fascinating book if you are interested in self analysis. ususally skeptical about systems of analysis based on color, birth or numerology, but this one was right on target. the book is well written, insightful and readily provides analysis into your personality.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE READY FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFTER A TEN YEAR RELATIONSHIP WITH A GENTLEMAN HE TOLD ME HE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE, WHILE IN MY MIND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SPEND THE LATTER PART OF MY YEARS (I'M 50 SOMETHING) WITH HIM - HE HAD HIS EYES (AND OTHER THINGS) SOMEWHERE ELSE. I FOUND THIS BOOK IN A LIBRARY, TOOK THE TEST AND ALMOST PASSED OUT. VERY ACCURATE AND BLUNT!! SO MUCH SO THAT I KNOW AFTER MY GRIEVING HAS ENDED AND THE BLACK AND BLUE MARKS ON MY EGO GO AWAY I WILL BE FINE. FORTUNETLY I CAN BORROW THIS BOOK ANYTIME BUT WILL LOOK FOR IT AND ANY OTHERS BY DR. LUSCHER IF I CAN

An extremely accurate, professional,deep psychological test

I was introduced to Dr. Luscher's Color Test Chart when a Danish Montessori Director was using it to test children under school age. The test was amazingly accurate 100% of the times I used it and observed it being used. Dr. Luscher was a Swiss Psychiatrist who spent much of his life developing this deep psychological test. While it has never had wide acceptance in America, his work was widely accepted in Europe. In fact, a Volkswagon plant was painted for the desired effects on workers after consulting with Dr. Luscher. In the introduction of his book, he carefully states that the test is very easy to administer but it is a deep psychological test is not a parlor game, and should be used very responsibly. As a professional in the field of Clinical Psychology, I have used this test as a diagnostic tool for many years, although it took me eleven years to find it as it was only available in the Medical Library at New York University, and not available to the public. As de! ep as the test results are, it is incumbant on the test adminstrator to use the information diagnostically and judiciously for the benefit of the patient. If it can be located (and I will not volunteer my copies), it is only meant for the serious, responsible, ethical practioner who will find it to be one of the best diagnositic tools for any age group. Dr. Luscher also wrote two other books which help understand a person by the color choices in their environments. They are also very revealing..and I am not volunteering my copies of these either. Anyone interested should turn up every rock until they can locate Dr. Luscher's wonderful books.
