description: The principle of the Lüscher Color Test is that psychological information can be gained through selections &amp; rejections of colors. A simplified version of the test may be taken &amp; 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 &amp; the Interpretation Tables, readers will find how psychologically revealing color choices can be.Preliminary InstructionsPreliminary InterpretationInstructions for Conducting the TestColor Psychology: The origin of color significanceThe physiology of color The development of color vision"Color blindness" makes no differenceThe Lüscher test Functional Psychology: The significance of the eight positions Interpreting the functionsThe basic &amp; auxiliary colors: Color-coding of the eight colorsCategories of the four basic colorsCombined basic colorsBasic colors should be preferredThe auxiliary colorsGrouping &amp; marking the 8-color sequenceAnxieties, compensations &amp; conflicts: Stress-sourcesCompensationsExaggerated compensationsIntensity of the anxiety &amp; compensationPrognosis Summary of rules for marking anxieties &amp; compensationsThe "actual problem"AmbivalenceThe rejected or suppressed characteristic"Emotional" personalitiesConflict between objective &amp; behaviorInstability of the autonomic nervous systemWork &amp; exhaustibilityThe meaning of the eight colorsGreyBlue GreenRed YellowVioletBrown Black Structural meaning of the color pairsTest interpretation: A word of warningExamples of test analysesInterpretation TablesAppendicesLiterature about the Lüscher Color Test
