Claim One:
1. A psychotechnological method for detecting the disposition of a human test subject toward a selected trait, said method comprising: (a) formulating and presenting to the test subject a plurality of sets of statements, each set containing first and second groups which respectively include first and second complementary statements, and a preselected choice of at least three responses for each statement, the test subject selecting one of the responses in answer to each statement, each response being assigned a respective predetermined weighting factor which determines a response value which is assigned to each response; (b) adding the response values which correspond to the responses selected by the test subject on a group by group basis to derive for each group a group test score; (c) plotting the group test scores of each one of the groups that is associated with the first complementary statements on a respective axis of an indexed polar coordinate system having at least as many axes as said number of sets of statements; (d) plotting the group test scores of each one of the groups that are associated with the second complementary statements on a respective axis of a second indexed polar coordinate system having at least as many axes as as said number of sets of statements; and (e) comparing and evaluating the plotted response values which appear on the first and second coordinate systems to determine the characteristic or disposition of the test subject.
