About the Wartegg method
The test belongs to the category of expressive-projective methods of personality assessment; it is an unfinished-drawing method. It helps to understand the visual, symbolic meanings that arise in a person about one side of life or another (about themselves, the people around them, their plans and aspirations, their way of acting, their anxieties and fears, and so on). The test makes it possible to measure a person’s visual-spiritual, meaning-based relations, which rest both on vital (psychophysiological, subconscious) features and on motor-volitional (conscious) functions.
The Wartegg test makes it possible to reliably assess: Subconscious evaluation of the outer world Subconscious self-identification in society Subconscious attitude to the future Drive to achieve goals Subconscious attitude to difficulties and obstacles. Subconscious perception of the family Decisiveness, assertiveness, vulnerability, sensitivity, anxiety.
Who the programme is for: teachers, psychologists, service-sector workers, staff and managers, and a wide range of people with no professional or age restrictions. The programme is especially valuable for those whose professional and other activities involve stress, contact with large numbers of people, processing large amounts of information, and the risk of emotional burnout.
