What is the MindColors Test?
 |
The Mind Colors Test is a personality test based on color stimuli: each color identifies a different psychological dimension and a different attitude. The results that you get by submitting to the Mind Colors Test, describes the behavior and the way you react in different situations. The answers then, can be different depending on the moods or situations that are going through. |
The Test
 |
Mind Colour Test (MCT) is partially mutuated from M. Luscher’s “Colour Test” and from “Combinatorio di colori” by L. Bellanca, A. Dama and L. De Iorio; it is based on purely chromatic stimuli, and the interpretations of the results follows the theories of functional psychology and depends on the strict relationships between chromatic tonalities and their ability to represent individual states, both affective and related to experiences. Particolar attention has been paid to the chromatic composition of the colours, since the slightest diversification may alter the pscycho-affective valences connected to the enjoyment of refusal of chromatic stimuli. |
The suggestions of colors
 |
Light and bright colours favour in man a pleasant feeling of wellness, unlike darkness and gloomy colours. We usually recognise yellow in the sun and in all sorts of light, as well as in foliage and in fruits grown and ripened in sunlight: perception and emotional content tend to instill hope and optimism. Light blue, which appears in the brightness of the sky and the water and on the top of mountains tends to represent immensity, knowing no bounds. Green contains yellow and blue, opposite forces in a perfect balance where contrasts appear resolved, smoothed; on the contrary red means extreme inquietude and activity: it is the colour of fire, symbol of life and passioante love: it expresses strenght, heat and movement. Purple is a mixture of blue and red: it tends to an impossible synthesis between the impetuosity of the former and the calmness of the latter; brown is the colour of the land and of the majority of instruments and visible objects of everyday’s life: it expresses concreteness, praticity. Grey is a “compromise” between white and black, light and darkness, absolute peace and activity at his top: white is the colour of the unwritten page, black is absence of colour, reminding us of night and everything negative… black is the end, there is nothing beyond it, it is the “no” opposite to the “yes” of the white. |
Modes of administration

Eight colours, similar to the ones in the first chromatic table of Luscher’s test – each one with a determined chromatic position (catalogue Letraset-Pantone) – have been chosen: the combinations of these colours produce twenty-eight different couples. Each couple is shown, singularly, in a definite sequence on the screen under the form of two small squares side by side on a white background: the subject has to pick the colour he likes best for each of the twenty-eight couples. It is necessary to operate a choice for every couple, considering that the subject will always prefer – even slightly – one of the colours; every couple identifies a clear psychological theme, which changes according to the colours displayed. The subject operates a choice, thus showing his personal disposition towards that theme, “getting closer” to one of the colours and making it emerge as a “figure”, while at the same time pushing the other on the “background” of his “strategies” and individual “dimensions”. Picking one colour must not be interpreted as an “absolute” preference, rather it is a relative choice of one colour instead of another, always bearing in mind that they both concur in defining something very peculiar in the individual’s psycho-affective system. Considering that each couple proposes a different emotional “theme”, the different choices allow to underline certain basic themes related to the subject him/herself, as a matter of fact each preference will adjust the values in a special grid which will allow to obtain a final report which can be read by the subject. It is highly recommended to undergo the test in a calm enviroment, without elements of distraction or strong lights which may affect the erception of the colours on screen. YOU WILL BE SHOWN A SEQUENCE OF 28 DIFFERENT COUPLES OF COLOURS. You will have to pick the colour you like best in each couple: there will always be one you like best, no matter how slightly. Try “not to think too much”, instead decide according to the emotion the colour inspires you. |
