So, a test for personification of oneself with a geometric figure. You need to look at them carefully, compare them with yourself and choose what suits you best, what best represents you. After this, they must be arranged in order from the most suitable to the most unsuitable. I’ll give you an explanation of what each figure means after you decide.

Rectangle. Square. Circle. Triangle. Zigzag.

UPD: Descriptions


SQUARE.

If your main figure turns out to be a Square, then you are a tireless worker. Hard work, diligence, the need to complete the work started, perseverance to achieve completion of the work - these are the main qualities of true Squares. Endurance, patience and methodicality usually make Kvadrat a highly qualified specialist in his field. This is facilitated by the insatiable need for information.

All the information they have is systematized and organized. The square is able to provide the necessary information instantly. Therefore, Squares are deservedly known as erudites, at least in their field. If you have chosen a Square for yourself - a linear figure, then most likely you are a “left-hemisphere” thinker, i.e. those who process data in a sequential format: a-b-c-d...

Squares “calculate the result” rather than guess at it. Squares are extremely attentive to details and details. Squares love established order once and for all. Their ideal is a planned, predictable life, and they do not like changing the usual course of events. He constantly “orders”, organizes people and things around him. All these qualities contribute to the fact that Squares can become good specialists - technicians, excellent administrators, but - rarely - they are good managers.

Excessive predilection for details and the need for clarifying information for decision-making deprive the Square of efficiency. Accuracy, adherence to rules, etc. can develop to a paralyzing extreme.

In addition, rationality, emotional dryness, and conservatism in assessments prevent Squares from quickly establishing contacts with different people. Squares do not work effectively in an amorphous situation.

TRIANGLES.

This shape symbolizes leadership, and many Triangles feel their purpose in this. The most characteristic feature of a true Triangle is the ability to concentrate on the main goal. They are energetic, strong personalities. In the Luscher test, they often prefer the color green and draw a Christmas tree when asked to draw a tree.

Triangles, like their relatives Squares, are linear shapes and tend to be left-brain thinkers, capable of analyzing situations deeply and quickly. However, in contrast to Squares, who are detail-oriented, Triangles focus on the essentials, the essence of the problem.

Their strong pragmatic orientation guides their mental analysis and limits it to the search for a solution to a problem that is effective under given conditions.

Triangle is a very confident person who wants to be right in everything! The need to be right and the need to manage the state of affairs, to decide not only for oneself, but also, if possible, for others - makes the Triangle a person who is constantly competing, competing with others. Triangles have great difficulty admitting their mistakes! We can say that they see what they want to see, do not like to change their decisions, are often categorical, and do not recognize objections.

Fortunately (for them and those around them), Triangles learn quickly and successfully (absorb useful information like a sponge). True, only that which corresponds to their pragmatic orientation contributes (from their point of view) to achieving the main goal. Triangles are ambitious.

If a matter of honor for a Square is to achieve the highest quality of work performed, then a Triangle strives to achieve a high position, acquire a high status, in other words, to make a career.

Triangles make excellent managers. The main negative quality of a “triangular” personality: strong egocentrism, focus on oneself. On the way to the heights of power, they do not show particular scrupulousness regarding moral standards. Triangles make everything and everyone revolve around them... Maybe without them, life would lose its edge.

RECTANGLES.

This figure symbolizes a state of transition and change. This is a temporary form of personality that the other four relatively stable figures can “wear” at certain periods of life. These are people who are not satisfied with the lifestyle that they lead now, and therefore are busy looking for a better position.

The reasons for the “rectangular” state can be very different, but they have one thing in common - the significance of the changes for a particular person. The main mental state of the Rectangle is a more or less conscious state of confusion, confusion in problems and uncertainty about oneself at a given time.

The most characteristic features of Rectangles are inconsistency and unpredictability of actions during the transition period. They tend to have low self-esteem. They strive to become better at something, looking for new methods of work and lifestyles.

Rapid, abrupt and unpredictable changes in the behavior of the Rectangle usually confuse and alarm other people, and they may consciously avoid contacts with the “person without a core.” For rectangles, communication with other people is simply necessary, and this is another difficulty of the transition period.

However, the Rectangle also has positive qualities that attract others to it: curiosity, inquisitiveness, keen interest in everything that happens and... courage! During this period, they are open to new ideas, values, ways of thinking and living, and easily learn everything new. True, the flip side of this is excessive gullibility and suggestibility. Therefore, Rectangles are easy to manipulate.

"Rectangularity" is just a stage. She will pass!

CIRCLES.

The circle is a mythological symbol of harmony. Anyone who confidently chooses it is sincerely interested above all in good interpersonal relationships. The highest value for the Circle is people.

The circle is the most benevolent of the five shapes. It most often serves as the “glue” that holds both the work team and the family together, that is, it stabilizes the group. Circles are the best communicators primarily because they are the best listeners. They have high sensitivity and developed empathy - the ability to empathize.

Circles perfectly “read” people and in one minute are able to recognize a pretender, a deceiver. The circles “cheer” for their team and are popular among work colleagues. However, they tend to be weak managers and business leaders. First, Circles are people-oriented rather than action-oriented. In an attempt to maintain peace, they sometimes avoid taking a “firm” stand and making unpopular decisions.

For the Circle there is nothing more difficult than entering into an interpersonal conflict. They try to avoid it at all costs. Sometimes - to the detriment of the cause. Secondly, Circles are generally not distinguished by decisiveness; they often cannot present themselves properly. Triangles tend to easily take over them. However, the Circles are not too concerned about who holds the power.

In one area, the Circles show enviable firmness - when it comes to issues of morality or violation of justice.

The Circle is a non-linear shape, and those who confidently identify with the Circle are more likely to be “right-brain” thinkers. “Right-brain” thinking is more imaginative, intuitive, emotionally charged, more integrative than analytical. Therefore, the processing of information in the Circles is not carried out in a sequential format, but rather in a mosaic manner, in breakthroughs with the omission of individual links. This does not mean that Krug is at odds with logic. It’s just that formalism is not given priority in solving life’s problems.

The main features in their thinking are an orientation towards the subjective factors of the problem (values, assessments, feelings, etc.) and the desire to find commonality even in opposing points of view. We can say that Krug is a born psychologist. However, he is often a weak organizer - he lacks the “left-brain” skills of his “linear brothers” - Triangle and Square.

ZIGZAGS.

This figure symbolizes creativity, creativity, if only because it is the most unique of the five figures and the only open figure. If you have firmly chosen Zigzag as your main form, then you are most likely a true “right-brain” thinker, a dissenter.

You, like your closest relative - the Circle, only to an even greater extent, are characterized by imagery, intuitiveness, integrativeness, and mosaicism.

Strict, consistent deduction is not your style. The Zigzag’s thought makes desperate leaps from “a” to “z”, which is why many “left-hemisphere” people find it difficult to understand Zigzags.

“Right-brain” thinking is not fixated on details, therefore, by simplifying the picture of the world in some ways, it allows you to build holistic, harmonious concepts and images, and see beauty. Zigzags usually have a developed aesthetic sense.

The dominant style of Zigzag thinking is most often the synthetic style. Unlike Circles, Zigzags are not at all interested in consensus and achieve synthesis not through concessions, but, on the contrary, by sharpening the conflict of ideas and building a new concept in which this conflict is resolved and “removed.” Moreover, using their natural wit, they can be very sarcastic, “opening the eyes” of others.

Zigzags simply cannot work in well-structured situations. They are irritated by clear vertical and horizontal connections, strictly fixed responsibilities and constant ways of working. In their work, they require independence from others and a high level of stimulation in the workplace. Then the Zigzag “comes to life” and begins to fulfill its main purpose - to generate new ideas and methods of work.

Zigzags are idealists, which is where their traits such as impracticality and naivety originate.

Zigzag is the most excitable of the five figures. They are unrestrained and very expressive, which, along with their eccentricity, often prevents them from putting their ideas into practice. In addition, they are not strong in working out specific details and are not too persistent in bringing things to the end (since with the loss of novelty, interest in the idea is also lost).

Psychogeometry was formed as a system in the USA, and its creator is Susan Dellinger. A psychogeometric test allows you to instantly determine the typology of a person’s personality, characterize personal qualities and create a scenario for the individual’s behavior in standard situations. You can take the Dellinger psychogeometric test online in a few minutes, and the diagnostic accuracy will be about 85%.

Psychogeometric psychology test

Look carefully at the five shapes: rectangle, square, circle, triangle, zigzag. Choose from them the one that best suits you. Try to become aware of your form. If you cannot choose, then mark the figure that first caught your eye. Now rank the remaining figures, writing down their names under the desired numbers.

Interpretation of the Dellinger psychometric test

The figure that you chose first will determine the main, dominant traits of your character and behavioral characteristics. The other four figures are modulators that influence the main line of your behavior. The figure to which you assigned the last fifth number will characterize the person with whom it is most difficult for you to find a common language.

Square.

Those who chose this figure are tireless workers; they are characterized by perseverance, diligence, and the desire to bring any work they start to completion. These people love to collect all kinds of data; the constant need for information, patience, hard work and endurance make them highly qualified specialists in their field. The strength of the Square is the ability for mental analysis, the ability to provide the necessary information almost instantly. People who choose a square are most often left-hemisphere, that is, those who process information sequentially. They are very attentive to details, love order, and dream of a planned life. Such people can be excellent technicians and administrators, but the work of managers is not for them; the need for accurate and detailed information deprives these people of efficiency in decision-making. Emotional dryness, rationality and conservatism in decision making prevent Squares from establishing contacts.

Triangle

This is a symbol of a leader; such people know how to identify main goals, set specific goals for themselves and, as a rule, achieve them. Triangles are also left-hemisphere and are able to analyze a situation deeply and quickly. But unlike Squares, who are interested in details, Triangles are focused on the essence of the situation. The need to manage the situation, to always be right, makes such a person constantly compete with others, working only to win. Triangles quickly learn new things, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. Such people are often impatient and do not like those who hesitate in their decisions; they are extremely ambitious. Squares want to achieve the best quality of their work, and Triangles strive to achieve high status. The main negative quality of these people is egocentrism, which does not allow them to be particularly scrupulous on their way to the top.

Rectangle

This figure symbolizes the transitional state of personality, therefore they are characterized by inconsistency and unpredictability. These people can change a lot in one day. They often have low self-esteem, but they need communication with other people, although others may shy away from interacting with such a pliable person. At the same time, Rectangles are inquisitive, courageous, and open to everything new. Such people are easily suggestible and easy to manipulate.

Circle

This symbol speaks of harmony and the desire to establish good interpersonal relationships; the highest value for the Circle is people. He is the one who holds the work team together, knows how to listen, has a high degree of empathy, perceiving other people’s pain as his own. Such people do not like conflicts and tend to be the first to give in; their motto is “If only there is no war.” Those who choose the Circle are right-hemisphere, they rely more on intuition, most of all they pay attention to subjective aspects - feelings, values. Such people can find commonality even in opposing points of view; they are born psychologists. But the Circle will be prevented from becoming the head of a serious business by the lack of organizational skills characteristic of the Triangle and the methodical nature of the Square.

Zigzag

Those who choose such a symbol have creative, imaginative thinking. If a person firmly chooses a zigzag, then he is a dissenter, he is characterized by intuitiveness and imagery. Zigzag thoughts often remain ununderstood by left-hemisphere rational Triangles and Squares. Such people do not concentrate on details, they see beauty as a whole, their aesthetic sense is very developed. But Zigzags do not strive to achieve consensus; they want a conflict of ideas, contradictions, in order to take something new out of it. They don't like routine and monotony, people trembling because of status or agreeing for the sake of appearance. Zigzags cannot work where there is a clear structure; they need independence like air. This sign is the most excitable and enthusiastic, it is a symbol of idealists, such people are expressive and eccentric. But specific details and little things are not for them; they cannot be too persistent, which prevents them from bringing all their ideas to life.

It may happen that no figure suits you completely. In this case, a combination of two or even three figures can describe your personality.

Dear readers, I want to offer you a Geometric Shapes test, which can tell you a little about your character. This is quite an interesting technique. Moreover, it does not require much time and intellectual thought. However, you should not take the psychogeometric test as a serious study of your personality. Although it belongs to proven methods.

So, Geometric Shapes Test. Look at the proposed geometric shapes and choose the one you like best.

2. Triangle

3. Square

Geometric shapes test - CIRCLE

If you like the circle, then you are a harmonious and holistic person. There are no very difficult situations for you, because your presence of mind never leaves you. And optimism helps to endure any adversity.

Your most important advantage, what distinguishes you from other figures, is your sociability and sociability. People around you consider you an easy person because you don’t dramatize situations or complicate them. However, despite all this, you cannot be called a superficial person.
You want to please people, and you know how to do this, thanks to your friendliness, peacefulness and patience, which sometimes seems endless. You can hardly be seen screaming or crying - all your emotions are under control!

Therefore, the professions that suit you are those in which you need to communicate with people: the service sector, medicine, the education system, psychology...
As for your personal life, there should be no problems here. You are a great partner! But not for everyone. Scandalous personalities do not appeal to you. You will appreciate peace and optimism. You can get along with any figure. Problems can only arise with a conflict Triangle.

Test Geometric shapes - TRIANGLE

Have you ever had thoughts like, “Everyone lives quietly, but I always have some kind of adventure?” So these “adventures” do not appear out of nowhere, but out of the desire to have constant emotional impressions. Because of this, you find yourself in unusual and difficult situations. That is, your unconscious itself creates life’s difficulties, otherwise you will simply get bored.

The upside is that these experiences promote intense personal growth. But for this, problems must be solved, and not run away from them.

Triangle? It’s clear that your profession should provide you with a lot of vivid emotional experiences. You will not only easily withstand severe stress, but also enjoy overcoming it. Yes, the ambulance and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are waiting for you. Although working at school and kindergarten will also provide “unforgettable” experiences!

It is better to choose a calmer and more stable figure as a partner, for example, a Square or a Circle. But it’s better not to clash with Zigzag - the battlefield will be secured...

Geometric shapes test - SQUARE

Probably, the Square is very similar to a phlegmatic person. If you like this angular figure, then you balanced, stable and reliable person. You love peace and a measured life. You may be irritated by life changes and new people. Your accuracy can reach the point of pedantry. I wouldn’t be surprised if in your kitchen all the plates are stacked according to size, and the books on the shelf are in alphabetical order... It’s a pity that I’m not a Square...

The fact that you are attentive to little things makes you observant and helps you remember. You know how to analyze everything and sort it out.
There are many professions for you where you will demonstrate your rare abilities, patience and accuracy. However, it is better not to rush you, otherwise you will start to get lost and do worse work. You are an excellent "office worker".
For personal relationships, it is better to find the same Square, calm, stable and pedantic. Creative Zigzag may be right for you if you are attracted to opposites. By the way, Zigzag will help you look at the world differently, and you will teach it order!

Test Geometric Shapes - Zigzag

Without Zigzags, the world would be boring and uninteresting. If you are a Zigzag, then you probably know how to write poetry, dance, intrigue others, and be unpredictable. Oh, these Zigzags!
Zigzags love change and quickly adapt to it. Flexibility in life goes hand in hand with flexibility in the body. Some Zigzags easily control their body and even easily lose weight if necessary.
But the disadvantage of your impressionable character is that your environment has a direct influence on you. People are having fun around you - you are having fun, they are crying - and you cry. You will be impressed by both the film and the book. This is what makes you a good partner - you easily grasp a person’s mood.
But we, Zigzags, cannot live without creativity (I’m also a typical Zigzag!)! Even if we don't fall into the field of art, we will bring it into our profession!
However, it is better for us to live with Squares. Otherwise we will leave real life. Let the Square bring stability, and we will bring unpredictability and lightness!

Geometric shapes test - LINE

The line is similar to an arrow, therefore, if you chose this geometric figure, then you are a purposeful and energetic person who knows how to fight and overcome obstacles. You will not mark time, because you cannot live without movement. New heights and victories are calling you! Novelty and change are what you need.
You also have a lot of ambitions, which forces you to achieve your goals and go for it. The main thing in your professional field is career and financial growth. Are you not a manager yet? Well, then an entrepreneur? If not, you will be soon! And in general, take a look at the Will I Be Rich test. Surely you are a future millionaire.
The disadvantage of this figure is that the professional sphere often outweighs the personal one in importance. In it you realize yourself, becoming a workaholic. Well, if you still remember that people are creatures of different sexes, then choose Square and Triangle as partners. It’s better to just be friends with Zigzag or do work together. The line will only work if it steps on the tail of its own song.

Zigzag is always with you

Thanks to everyone who presses the network buttons!

In contact with

The psychogeometric test is a projective personality research technique that was introduced in 1978. Its author is a well-known person - Susan Dellinger, a specialist in social and psychological training of management personnel, who works with such large companies as General Telephone and Electronics, Chevrolet Motors, Honeywell, etc.

In 1984, Susan Dellinger opened her own training company on leadership, team building, interpersonal and group communication skills based on the psychogeometric test she developed, which is now successfully used in universities, non-profit organizations, law firms, multinational companies and government agencies. 30 years.

The psychogeometric test was published in 1989 and 1996 in 7 languages, including Russian, was presented in 24 countries around the world, and was read by more than 100 thousand people - college students, division managers, department heads, company managers, co-founders, owners and etc.

Short description

The stimulus material of the psychogeometric test consists of five geometric figures - square, triangle, rectangle, circle and zigzag. The subject is asked to “feel his shape” and choose the figure about which one can say: “this is me,” or the one that first attracted attention. The remaining pieces are ranked in order of preference. According to Susan Dellinger, personality is often described as a combination of two or even three forms, however, it is important to find out which of them is dominant and which is subordinate.

The theoretical premises underlying the science that Susan Dellinger defines as psychogeometry are the teachings of Carl Jung about mental types and ideas about the functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres.

Instructions

Look at the five shapes: square, triangle, rectangle, circle, zigzag. Choose the one that first attracted your attention. Write down its name under No. 1. Now rank the remaining four figures in the order of your preference and write down their names under the corresponding numbers.

Whatever figure you place first is your basic figure or subjective form. It makes it possible to determine your main, dominant character traits and behavioral characteristics. The remaining four figures are unique modulators that can color the leading line of your behavior. The strength of their influence decreases with increasing serial number.

However, it may turn out that not a single figure suits you completely. Then you can be described by a combination of two or even three forms. The meaning of the last figure is also important - it indicates the shape of the person with whom interaction will present the greatest difficulties for you.

Brief psychological characteristics of the main forms of personality of the psychogeometric test

Square. If your main shape turns out to be a square, then you are a tireless worker! Hard work, diligence, the need to bring the job started to the end, perseverance to achieve the completion of the work - this is what, above all, true Squares are famous for. Endurance, patience and methodicality usually make Kvadrat a highly qualified specialist in his field. This is facilitated by the insatiable need for information. Squares are collectors of all kinds of data. Moreover, no matter where this collection is stored - in the head or in a special file cabinet, it is always in complete order. All information is systematized and organized. The square is able to provide the necessary information instantly. Therefore, Squares are deservedly known as erudites, at least in their field.

Mental analysis is the strong point of the Square. If you have firmly chosen a Square for yourself - a linear figure, then most likely you are a “left-hemisphere” thinker, that is, those who process data, in the language of computer science, in a sequential format: a - b - c - d and t . d. Squares “calculate” the result rather than guess about it. They do not miss a single link in the chain of reasoning, and when others do this, they experience difficulty in understanding and, as a result, discomfort. Squares are extremely attentive to details and details. It is Squares who are able to work out all the specific details of those grandiose ideas, projects and plans that are often proposed by bearers of other geometric shapes.

Squares love established order once and for all: everything should be in its place and happen in its own time. True Square firmly believes in the saying: “A mess on the table is a mess in the head.” The ideal of the Square is a planned, predictable life, and he does not like “surprises” and changes in the usual course of events. He constantly “orders”, organizes people and things around him.

All these qualities contribute to the fact that Squares can become (and do become!) excellent administrators and performers, but... alas, they are rarely good stewards and managers. Naturally, the mentioned advantages of the Square peacefully coexist with a number of its weaknesses. We are all not without sin!

Excessive predilection for details (“can’t see the forest for the trees”), the need for additional, clarifying information to make a decision deprives the Square of efficiency. Neatness, order, observance of rules and decorum can develop to a paralyzing extreme. And when the time comes to make a decision, especially one associated with risk, with a possible loss of the status quo, Squares, wittingly or unwittingly, delay its adoption. In addition, rationality, emotional dryness and coldness prevent Squares from quickly establishing contacts with different people, which also does not contribute to success in managing people. The square operates ineffectively in an amorphous situation in which “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.” However, in well-structured situations where deadlines are established, access to information and equipment is defined, clear requirements are formulated and clear instructions for action are given, the Square is superior to all other forms!

Continuation of the psychological characteristics of the personality of the psychogeometric test:

It's time for a simple psychological test to determine your character. All you have to do is choose the figure that you like best from the provided figures and the psychological character test will tell you who you are.

Square.

If you chose a square, you are hardworking, diligent in everything, and it is very important for you to bring every task you start to its logical conclusion. Endurance and patience make you an excellent specialist in your field. Squares love order, that everything happens at the designated time, and that everything is in its place. An ideal life for you is a life in which everything is sorted and there are no unexpected surprises.

Rectangle.

This is a temporary form of personality and is worn by different people at different periods of existence. If you have chosen this figure, this clearly indicates that you are dissatisfied with what you currently have and are looking for a better position in society. Your qualities: interest in everything that happens, courage, curiosity and even inquisitiveness. You are open to new ideas and easily learn anything new. You can change your values ​​and lifestyle with ease.

Triangle.

This is a leadership figure. If you have chosen this figure, you are a person who can concentrate clearly on one goal. Your qualities: energy, uncontrollability, willpower. You are a strong personality who always achieves your goals. In addition, you are also pragmatic and ambitious, and know how to prove to people that what you do is important. The triangle strives for leadership and therefore constantly competes with other people, trying to be the best in everything.

Circle.

This is the most benevolent figure. People who choose this figure prove that they are sensitive, can empathize and sympathize. They always respond emotionally to other people's experiences. The circle reacts to both pain and joy and feels it as its own. Great happiness for a circle is when everyone lives in harmony with each other. In conflicts, the circle gives in first so that peace can prevail. He always strives to find the positives in people and unite them with friendship based on common interests.

Zigzag.
