Max Luscher
Born in 1923 in Basel (Switzerland). He received his education in philosophy and psychology at the University of Basel. Doctor of Philosophy (in psychology) since 1949. Taught at the University of Zurich, the Swiss Anthropological Institute and others training centers Switzerland and abroad. Professor of Psychology at the University of Amsterdam (1957-1959). Founder of the Institute of Medical Psychodiagnostics (Germany, 1960). Conducted an active psychotherapeutic practice. Dating back in student years with the works of Rorschach served as an impetus for the development of a color test, which the author has been developing since the early 1940s. In the 1960-1970s. color test becomes one of the most popular psychodiagnostic techniques in the world, translated into 17 languages, including Japanese and Hindi. In addition to the color test, Luscher’s main psychological and philosophical work is “The Four-Color Man, or the Path to Harmony” (1977). Since 1965, Luscher has lived in Lausanne.
At the end of the 1940s. The issue of the meaning of situational variables in relation to data obtained through projective techniques is being discussed quite actively. Assumptions that projective tests would be insensitive to situational variables turned out to be unfounded. For example, when a person had an argument with an examiner or looked at photographs of naked bodies before the examination, his answers to the Rorschach test differed from those given in the absence of the influence of these factors. Accordingly, the data obtained began to be considered as reflecting, along with stable personality parameters, situational factors. The difficult task of separating one from the other arose. Moreover, among a significant part of psychologists, irritation grew at the swelling mass of dubious value of research devoted to identifying the predictive and diagnostic power of certain indicators projective tests(mostly this referred to the Rorschach test).
Despite the criticism, many psychologists maintained their enthusiasm for projective techniques. Proponents of the projective approach were convinced that, as opposed to traditional psychometric tests, taking into account all their advantages, projective techniques are a kind of road leading to amazing world unconscious. Evidence of this is the first congress of specialists on the Rorschach test and other projective techniques, held in August 1949 in Zurich.
In 1949 Raymond Bernard Cattell and others founded the Institute of Personality and Abilities Testing (The Institute for Personality and Ability Testing, IPAT), which was called upon to create and develop appropriate research tools and publish works devoted to them. Finest hour The activities of this institute included the publication of a questionnaire 16 personal factors, developed by R. Cattell and his associates (see below).

Guest/ 10.27.2017 Pavel, what test are you talking about, which is “here”? Which one is in the book or somewhere?
a lion/ 02/08/2015 Passed this test. I didn’t learn much, but what I knew about myself was confirmed. Try it. Works.
Nurlan/ 02/07/2015 I ask you to help me purchase Max Luscher’s book on eight-color psychodiagnostics and others if available [email protected] I will be very grateful
Paul/ 02/18/2014 I speak as a psychologist - the Luscher test, which is here, gives completely crazy results. Those who compiled the program do not understand anything at all about Max Luscher’s color theory. By passing this software test, you will, of course, learn “a lot” about yourself, but it will not correspond to reality.
Marat/ 02.23.2013 dear Max! Thank you for brilliant discovery in psychology. During my lifetime I would erect a golden monument. In Russia you are called the queen of techniques (I. Tsyganok). I provide diagnostics and color therapy for borderline psychosomatic diseases. Marat Karimov, psychotherapist (Ufa).
Simplex/ 04/15/2012 I use the Luscher test in my work all the time, but the cards get wiped all the time. In two years I changed three sets of color cards, but they still became unsuitable for work.
I really like the test, so I started looking for something to replace it with, and found it here http://www.psy-diagnoz.com/lusherpsyntec.html. I downloaded the program and installed it on my laptop, I’m very pleased and recommend it :-)
