In the House, Tree and Person test, the subject places a house, a tree and a person on the same piece of paper. The three interact with each other. For example, the subject can be seen from the position and distance of the house and the person. Relationship with family.
As for the Fang Shuren test, it is also accurate to a certain extent for people with relatively good art skills, but it must be tested under professional testers.
House Tree Man tests people’s subconsciousness based on the following points.
1. Analysis of the use of paper

Of course, the House Tree Man test is just a way to understand yourself. We cannot completely trust auxiliary tests.
The key to this test is not whether you have the foundation of painting, but whether you know the method of interpreting the house-tree man. If you know, you can artificially modify the proportions of the house-tree man. and details, so that this test will be inaccurate. If he didn't know, or didn't consciously guide himself, and just finished the drawing seriously, then this interpretation would be very meaningful.
One of my group friends once played this game. He drew the Buddha very big, and even the bulges on the Buddha's head (the technical term is buns) were drawn very thin. I said that you pursue power, have a lot of troubles, and seem to be a public servant. He said yes, he is the principal of a vocational school and he paints as an amateur. He has a lot of things going on recently and is very annoyed.
Those who are interested in the psychological test of house-tree people can take a look at this classic painting of house-tree people.
Analyzing this painting, several features are very obvious: 1) a naked male; 2) the tree has no leaves and its branches are like daggers; 3) he passes by the house, which has two horns.
The people in the house tree actually reflect our inner projection. The house projects family and symbolizes security. The tree projects self-growth and symbolizes life's energy and support system. People project self-image identity, which symbolizes the interactive relationship with family members and the mode of interpersonal communication.
I observed people around me painting houses and tree figures. Many of them started from the house and painted them very carefully, but the figures were very simple. Many people painted them like stick figures. It shows that we value our family very much, but we are not satisfied with our own growth. There are all kinds of trees, representing everyone’s varied lives.
Useful. Although the visitor has certain art skills and will have certain painting formulas, they are still influenced by the subconscious, the weight of the brushstrokes, and the presentation of details. There are differences. However, the reliability and validity of this kind of projective tests, such as the Rorschach Projective Test and the House-Tree-Man Chart Test, are actually not high and tend to be technical. Therefore, they are not used in actual clinical psychological counseling. There are still relatively few. Most are just a supplement to psychotherapy.
Is the house tree diagram test in psychology useful for people with drawing skills?
Painting projective test analysis is a subjective psychological testing method that reveals the deep subconscious mind of the test subject through the interpretation of the information projected by the painting; the benefits of the painting projective test are There are no cultural restrictions, no language barriers, no rule constraints, and it can effectively eliminate psychological defenses, because the subjects do not know what is being tested when they are tested, and they cannot defend themselves.
Back to the topic, painting projection actually measures people’s subconsciousness, so there are requirements when collecting paintings, so that the people who take the test must enter the subconscious state.
Take tree paintings, which are the most accurate way to measure personality. The usual approach is to ask the subjects to close their eyes to meditate and relax, and then make associations until a clear image of trees appears in front of them. After that, open your eyes and draw the trees. The interpretation of the tree drawn at this time is the most accurate, and we call it the "subconscious mind image".
In other words, if a person does not enter a subconscious state, or uses some professional techniques to modify it after finishing the painting, then the painting has been processed by the consciousness, and the accuracy of the interpretation will be greatly improved. reduce.
@ostrichspeak丨Recognize people by drawing trees, a picture of trees speaks to your subconscious.
I remember that "artists are all a bunch of lunatics", which means that artists are mentally different from ordinary people. Consciousness determines thinking. Only when you have a deeper understanding of something can you achieve absolute transcendence in thinking. So, today we will briefly talk about whether the psychological house tree diagram test is useful for people with basic painting skills?
Human consciousness is potentially filled with many different factors. When these factors mutually restrict, dominate, and combine, people will subconsciously think about one thing, and thus Self-induced action choices. Painting is to create the artist's emotional thoughts based on the essence of the original things. By expressing them on paper, this is a kind of emotion with transcendent thinking and strong inner world. Without a rich life, how to create rich paintings. Every link and factor in the house tree diagram determines the painter's psychological effect. Expressing the inner world is actually narrating his own psychology. Therefore, it can be seen intuitively that the house tree diagram plays a certain role in testing the painting skills. The description of the inner world is emotional rather than rational, and the world of most painters is the same. Only those with unconstrained thoughts and unfettered souls can produce refined works. This is easy to test in psychology, so you can feel the pros and cons of painting.
In summary, the house tree diagram test in psychology has a certain effect on painting skills, but it is only to a certain extent. Paintings with complex inner worlds are bound to be abstract, and paintings of people with simple inner worlds are also much simpler.
Nowadays, more and more people believe in psychology, and you may have heard of a test like the House Tree Man. So what is the relationship between house-building and painting psychology? From a psychological point of view, Fang Shuren is a method of painting psychology. Fang Shuren studies people's psychology through the process of painting. Since everything in Fang Shuren represents people’s psychology or some actual phenomena, how can human psychology be reflected through the painting of Fang Shuren? What his future holds, and their character. Therefore, House Tree Man is one type of painting psychology.
It is also a form of expression of painting psychology
It is best not to evaluate yourself! Many people do not help the case through psychological counseling, but instead cause secondary harm to the case! The case analysis is very thorough, but the problem of the individual case cannot be solved! It’s just consultation without a spoon, because there is no healing effect! So when looking for psychological counseling, you still need to find someone with energy and experience! When I work on cases, I never test and evaluate them. I just don’t explain things rationally. Reasoning is of no use to the case!
There are many dimensions to the analysis of Fangshuren, I will summarize them
1. Framework
Including the length of the picture, the richness of the elements, the proportion, the position on the paper, etc.
2. Lines
Line connection form, thickness, handwriting weight, etc.
3. Content
The prominent theme of the picture, the environment, the distance and connection between the various elements, etc.
4. Details of houses, trees, and people
The special expressions presented in the three main elements are important. Missing or emphasized part, etc.
The art student’s training in painting gives him more and better ability to express his inner thoughts. To a certain extent, this is a good thing for the test, but There are two main obstacles to analysis:
1. It affects the analysis of lines. For example, repeated smearing of lines will clinically consider forced or There is emphasis on this part, but art students, especially sketches, often have such brushwork.
2. The art student has seen too many pictures. It is very likely that what he painted is not the product of his subconscious mind, but a copy of the conscious level. That reflects his inner heart. Quite limited.
In summary, the house-tree-person test for art students is different from that of ordinary people. The analysis results should be combined with the characteristics of paintings and interviews.
Psychology is the science that studies the laws of human psychological development! It’s not metaphysics. Besides, artists are human beings?
