About this title

Synopsis

The principle of the Lüscher Color Test is that psychological information can be gained through selections & rejections of colors. A simplified version of the test may be taken & interpreted quickly. Laypersons can self-administer it, even before reading the book. In fact, it's advisable: reading the text beforehand may prejudice color selections. By following the instructions on pages I-III, which explain how to use the eight bound-in color cards & the Interpretation Tables, readers will find how psychologically revealing color choices can be.
