Lüscher Colour Test Colour Quiz

[Vasilisa]

Lüscher Colour Test: Interpretation

Existing Situation:
Dissatisfied. The need to escape continued involvement with her present circumstances makes it imperative for her to find some solution. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)

Stress Sources:

Physiological Interpretation:
Stresses resulting from disappointment have led to agitation.

Psychological Interpretation:
Unfulfilled hopes have led to uncertainty and apprehension. Needs to feel secure and to avoid any further disappointment, and fears being passed over or losing standing and prestige. Doubts that things will be any better in the future and this negative attitude leads her to make exaggerated demands and to refuse to make reasonable compromises.

In Brief:
Agitated pessimism; fearful of losing prestige.

Restrained Characteristics:
Believes that she is not receiving her share - that she is neither properly understood nor adequately appreciated. Feels that she is being compelled to conform, and close relationships leave her without any sense of emotional involvement.
Feels trapped in a distressing or uncomfortable situation and seeking some way of gaining relief. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity providing no turmoil or emotional agitation is involved.

Desired Objective:
Needs to feel identified with someone or something and wishes to win support by her charm and amiability. Sentimental, and yearns for a romantic tenderness.

Actual Problems:
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationship. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which these disappointments are submerged and things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 5 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 3 .

Lüscher Colour Test: Interpretation

Existing Situation:
The situation is difficult and she is trying to persist in her objectives against resistance. Finds it necessary to conceal her intentions as an added precaution, in order to disarm opposition. (The Desired Objective, below, is an attempt to compensate for this and other conflicts.)

Stress Sources:

Physiological Interpretation:
Tension arising from nervous prostration or from sexual stress, due to excessive self-restraint.

Psychological Interpretation:
Feels unappreciated and find the existing situation disagreeable. Wants personal recognition and the esteem of others to compensate of the lack of like-minded people with whom to ally herself and make herself more secure. Her sensual self-restraint make it difficult for her to give herself, but the resulting isolation lead to the urge to surrender and merge with another. This disturbs her as she regards such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome only by not succumbing to them, she feels, can she withstand the difficulties of the situation. Wants to be valued as a desirable associate and admired for her personal qualities.

In Brief:
Insecurity arising from lack of allies.

Restrained Characteristics:
Insists that her goals are realistic and sticks obstinately to them, even though circumstances are forcing her to compromise. Very exacting in the standards she applies to her choice of a partner.

Desired Objective:
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealised harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything aesthetic.

Actual Problems:
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 3 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 1 .

 

[chickpea]

Existing Situation:
Sensitive, needs aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm intimacy.

Stress Sources:
Physiological Interpretation:
Stress resulting from the effort to conceal worry and anxiety under a cloak of self-reliance and unconcern.

Psychological Interpretation:
The existing situation is disagreeable. Feels lonely and uncertain as he has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose standards are as high as his own, and wants to stand out from the rank and file. This sense of isolation magnifies the need into a compelling urge, all the more upsetting to his self-sufficiency because of the restraint he normally imposes on himself. Since he wants to demonstrate the unique quality of his own character, he tries to suppress this need for others and affects an attitude of unconcerned self-reliance to conceal his fear of inadequacy, treating those who criticise his behaviour with contempt. However, beneath this assumption of indifference he really longs for the approval and esteem of others.

In Brief:
Disappointment leading to assumed indifference.

Restrained Characteristics:
Circumstances are restrictive and hampering, forcing him to forgo all joys and pleasures for the time being.
Circumstances are such that he feels forced to compromise for the time being if he is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Desired Objective:
Seeks the determination and elasticity of will necessary to establish himself and to make himself independent despite the difficulties of his situation. Wants to overcome opposition and achieve recognition.

Actual Problems:
Needs to be valued and respected as an exceptional individual, in order to increase his self-esteem and his feeling of personal worth. Resists mediocrity and sets himself high standards.

Ambivalence(s):
The colour choices do not suggest any particular ambivalences.

Approach to Work:
The colour choices do not suggest a particular approach to work.

Anxiety, on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 6 (highest): 2 .
Compulsiveness of compensations (from 0 to 6): 0 .
