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 placed 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 the 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 also 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 true Triangle - the ability to concentrate on the main goal. They are energetic, strong personalities. In the Luscher test they often prefer green color 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.

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

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

Triangles make excellent managers. Main negative quality"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.

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.

Most character traits Rectangles - 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 primarily 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-hemisphere” 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 high level 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).

Basic psychological qualities:

The above tests allow you to consolidate your self-analysis skills, reveal yourself more deeply and, on this basis, provide the opportunity to change yourself.

These are, of course, not fully professional tests that can be used to determine basic personality characteristics. Such a task is not set. Like any other, these tests are material for further work.

They say geometric figures can symbolize certain human qualities. Looking at the figures, a person chooses a square for its stability, or a circle for round shapes, or zigzag for quirkiness. What will you choose?

Look carefully at the images of the figures. Choose the one you like best and read the description of your character.

People who chose , usually reserved, persistent and incredibly resilient individuals. They finish everything they start. Thanks to these qualities, squares reach great heights in their profession and become highly qualified specialists, especially in the field of technology.

Their inherent unquenchable thirst for knowledge, as well as the ability to systematize and apply the acquired knowledge, elevates them to an absolutely deserved rank - the rank of scholars. Squares are ardent supporters of planning and order, so anything that happens outside the plan and not according to instructions can unsettle them and drive them crazy.

Unfortunately, their excessive passion for detail and constant need for clarifying information interfere with prompt decision-making, so they are rarely top managers. Because of their conservatism, pedantry, rationalism and emotional dryness, it is difficult to establish contacts with others.

Triangle - a symbol of leadership. A characteristic feature of people who choose a triangle is the ability to focus on the main goal and quickly analyze the situation.

Triangles are energetic, self-confident, strong individuals who have great difficulty admitting their mistakes and are extremely pragmatic. They are often very decisive and do not tolerate objections. They are vain and strive to achieve high position and status for their subordinates.

The desire to be first and right in everything, to control the state of affairs forces them to constantly compete and compete with others. They know how to make everything and everyone revolve around them, but on the way to their goals they are not very scrupulous in matters of morality. As a rule, triangles make brilliant managers, executives and executives.

Circle - This is the most benevolent of the five geometric figures, which in mythology symbolizes harmony. Those who chose the circle are highly sensitive people, with extremely developed ability empathize, sympathize and feel other people's pain and joy.

There is no greater happiness for the Circle than to see the people around them in harmony with each other, therefore, if a conflict arises, in an effort to maintain peace, he will most likely give in first. Capable of holding both the family and the team together at work. Krug is a born psychologist.

He values people and is able to “read” them like an open book. A glance is enough for him to catch the slightest signs of hypocrisy, deception and falsehood. The Circle's desire to avoid conflicts sometimes comes to the detriment of business. Focus on people rather than on business, lack of determination and inability to present oneself often prevent Krug from becoming a strong manager and leader in business.

Zigzag - a symbol of creativity. The people who chose this figure are great originals. That is why cliches and stereotypes are not for them. In addition to a developed aesthetic sense, they often have natural wit and even causticity. Compared to others, Zigzag is the most enthusiastic and excitable person.

If Zigzag comes to mind new idea, then he will do everything so that the whole world knows about her. Zigzags are quick-tempered and expressive. Their mood changes more often than the time of day, but most Zigzags are charismatic and charming people.

Independence is the main condition for the flourishing of their creativity. They cannot stand strict boundaries, fixed responsibilities and monotonous constancy in their work and, unfortunately, they do not always complete the work they start.

Rectangle symbolizes a state of change, therefore it is a temporary form of personality. Most often, people choose it during a period of extreme dissatisfaction with life and themselves.

Rectangles strive with all their hearts to change everything for the better and, in order to fulfill their desires, they connect their best qualities: inquisitive mind, curiosity, courage.

They are open to new things and are ready to absorb knowledge for drastic changes, but their openness is on the verge of gullibility and suggestibility, so during this period Rectangles can become the object of someone’s manipulation. Fortunately, “straightness” is a temporary stage and after the successful implementation of the plan, it will pass!

Have you heard that using geometric shapes you can determine a person’s personality type?

Imagine - there is, and not only a psychological test "geometric figures", but a whole system - psychogeometry, which has developed in the USA. Its author is the famous American psychologist Susan Dellinger.

The accuracy of this method is 85%, as evidenced by numerous sociological studies. You can see this for yourself.

Look at the proposed geometric shapes and choose from them the one that you think most fully represents you as a person. In other words, you can say for sure: this figure is I. Arrange the remaining figures in order of preference.

So, in the first place is YOU, in the last place is a geometric figure, symbolizing the person with whom interaction will present the greatest difficulties for you. Well, the most interesting thing is the characteristics of those who chose:

Square

A tireless worker. He has hard work, diligence, and perseverance, which allows him to always achieve completion of the work. Patience and methodicality make a highly qualified specialist from a square. The Square, as it were, collects information, and it is laid out strictly on the shelves, so he is able to quickly retrieve the necessary information and is deservedly known as an erudite in his field. Refers to left-hemisphere thinkers, who are characterized by logical thinking and mathematical analysis. The square calculates the result rather than guesses it. The ideal of a square is a planned, measured life, where everything is predictable. He doesn't like surprises. IN business sphere such people often become good administrators and performers, but rarely achieve success as managers due to the constant need for additional information for making decisions - this deprives them of efficiency. In addition, rationality and coldness prevent squares from quickly establishing contacts with other people.

Triangle

This shape symbolizes leadership. Main ability– concentrate on the intended goal, analyze the situation deeply and quickly. Triangle is a very confident person who wants to be right in everything. He has great difficulty admitting his mistakes, is easy to teach, and absorbs information like a sponge. The meaning of life is to make a career. Negative quality – excessive egocentrism. He is excellent at presenting to senior management the importance own work, sensing a profitable business a mile away, and in the fight for it he can “push heads” against his opponents.

Rectangle

This is like a transitional form from one figure to another. People who are dissatisfied with their lives and therefore are busy looking for a better position perceive themselves as a rectangle. The main mental state of the rectangle is a conscious feeling of confusion, entanglement in problems, uncertainty. The most significant traits are inconsistency, unpredictability of actions, and low self-esteem. Positive traits– curiosity, inquisitiveness, keen interest in everything that happens, courage. Trying to do things he's never done before, asking questions he never had the courage to answer before.

Circle

This is a symbol of harmony. The one who chose this figure is interested in good interpersonal relationships. The highest value for the circle is people and their well-being. This is the most benevolent of the five figures. The circle serves as a kind of glue that holds the team, family together, stabilizes the group, and has a high capacity for sympathy and empathy. The circle feels someone else's joy and someone else's pain as its own. This is a right-hemisphere type of thinking, not logical, but figurative, more emotionally charged. The processing of information in such people is not sequential, but mosaic. The main feature of their thinking style is their focus on the subjective factors of the problem.

Zigzag

This is a symbol of creativity. He is characterized by imagery. The right-hemisphere thinking of a zigzag is not fixed on details, therefore, while simplifying the picture of the world in some way, it allows you to build holistic, harmonious concepts and images, and see beauty. Zigzag cannot work in one place for a long time - it’s very boring, but there are so many interesting things around! The main purpose of the zigzag is the generation of new ideas and methods, and not their actual implementation. He is focused on the future and is more interested in possibility than reality.

Y. A. ZAKHAROV, psychologist

Psychogeometric test

Take a look at the following figures:

Choose the one about which you can say: “This is me!” Try to feel your form. If you are experiencing great difficulty, choose from the figures the one that first attracted you.

Write down its name under number 1.

Now rank the remaining four shapes in the order of your preference (write down their names under the corresponding numbers).

So, the most difficult stage is over.

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 melody of your behavior.

The last figure indicates the human form that will be most difficult for you to interact with.

However, it may turn out that not a single figure suits you completely. Then you can be described as a combination of two or even three forms.

Brief psychological characteristics corresponding personality forms

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 the 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 also 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, that is, those who process data in a sequential format: a-b-c-d... They are more likely to “ calculate the result” than guess about it. They are extremely attentive to details, details, and 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. They constantly “order” and organize people and things around them.

All these qualities contribute to the fact that Squares can become good specialists - technicians, excellent administrators, but are rarely good managers. Excessive predilection for details, the need for clarifying information for decision-making deprives 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.

TRIANGLE
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 cousins Squares, are linear shapes and tend to also 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), however, 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 Triangles: 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.

RECTANGLE

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 they currently lead and are therefore 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 Rectangles is a more or less conscious state of confusion, confusion in problems and uncertainty about themselves at a given time. The most characteristic features 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!

CIRCLE

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.

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.

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 does not receive 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-hemisphere” skills of his “linear brothers” - Triangle and Square.

ZIGZAG

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 the zigzag as your main form, then you are most likely a true “right-brain” thinker, a dissenter.

You, like your closest relative Krug, 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.

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.
