Finally watched the latest episode of the Super Alice9 Channel. Somehow I expected it to be funnier. Actually the thing I laughed at the most apart from the obvious parts was the fact that Hiroto managed to make a really weird mistake in the word “kirei”. Twice. )) Oh well.

Isn't Tora sweet though? ♥ He looked so serious while drawing, I found that endearing. Also how he got so embarrassed towards the end. He tried not to let it show but it was sweet.

But there's something more to it that I wanted to explore further. I always like looking at people's drawings, often they say more than words. Actually there are really a lot of personality tests based on drawings - Projective Personality Tests. Draw a Person tests were the second most popular psychological tests in the sixties. It is now the eighth most popular test and usually applied to children. I'm pretty sure all those tests at the show were fake BUT there's something to be learned from the drawings they made, especially the first one.

I decided to take it upon myself and analyze Tora's drawing. I used the DRAW-A PERSON-TEST (Machover, 1949) for assessment. There are many similar tests and I won't go into too much detail, I'll just use the most basic principles.



Let's start.

1. An image's position

- A lot of blank space indicates that the person needs a lot of personal space.

- High position indicates positive self-image, optimism and confidence.

- Alignment to the left indicates introversion and insight.

- Size indicates a person's ego

2. Body

- A larger head indicates a wish to be wise, sensible.

- normal legs indicate confidence, sense of stability.

- developed arms indicate good social activity

3. Male and Female

A person of the other sex is the projection of impression, opinion about opposite-sex person.

- Both male and female figures are about the same size and in general look very similar. This indicates that the person sees men and women as equals.


Seems pretty legit, doesn't it?)
