Note about Luscher
Color Test:
The Luscher Color Test is based on
the principle that accurate psychological information can be gained about a
person through his/her choices and rejections of colors. The Test, despite the
ease and speed with which it can be administered, is a ‘deep’ psychological
assessment, developed for the use of psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians,
and those who are professionally involved with the conscious and unconscious
characteristics and motivations of others. The results, therefore, are supported
by substantial quantitative evidence to indicate that they accurately
characterize a person’s physical, mental, and emotional state at the time the
Test is administered.

MEANING OF THE EIGHT COLORS SELECTED:
POSITION 1:
GREEN (2)
MENTAL/EMOTIONAL HEALTH:
The
Green
of the test contains a certain amount of blue and is the test-color representing
the physiological condition of “elastic tension.” It expresses itself
psychologically as the will in operation, as perseverance and tenacity. This
person, choosing Green in the first
position, seeks determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish
herself and to make herself independent despite the difficulties of the current
situation. This person wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition.
This person, choosing Green in the 1st
position, will generally have a constancy of viewpoint as well as constant
self-awareness and places a high value on the “I” in all forms of possession and
self-affirmation, since possession is regarded as increasing both security and
self-esteem.
From this, it can be seen that this person, choosing Green at the
beginning of the row, wants to increase her certainty in her own value, either
by self-assertiveness, by holding fast to some idealized pictures he has of
herself, or by the acknowledgement she expects from others in deference to her
possessions—whether because of her greater wealth or in term of her superiority
in physical, educational or cultural attainments.
PHYSICAL HEALTH:
Green corresponds symbolically to the majestic sequoia tree, deep-rooted,
proud and unchanging, towering over lesser trees, to the austere and autocratic
temperament, to the tension of the bow-sting. Its sensory perception is
astringency, its emotional content is pride, and its organs are the smooth
(involuntary) muscles. Thus, gastric ulcers and digestive upsets are often
associated with worry over possible loss of standing or personal failure. |
