I've had this test conducted on me when i was young and i only recently got hold of the results and old image. It's amazing what professionals can pick up from a simple image.

Roof- intellectual, spiritual
Doors windows- social integration
Tree- subconscious
Branches- contacts with others, ideas thoughts
Person- ideal self, communication, imagination
Several other aspects
Small house- fissatisfaction, level of detail, location- top- dreams and imagination, strokes- over lining- insecurity attitudes while drawing

It is important to know that tests like this, Rorschach, and Word Association, are all known as projective tests. They are not objective, because naturally, that would be impossible; however, they can provide certain data points that can overlap with more objective tests, in order to see what interpretations would be more valid.

That was really interesting. I am a bit surprised at the length of the test (150 minutes), though. I'd have thought it could have been done in 30 minutes quite easily, even by a child. Clearly they're looking for more detailed drawings than I am really capable of executing!

I am very skeptical about the accuracy of this test

It is also sometimes used as part of an assessment of brain damage or overall neurological functioning.👍

I remember when teacher gave us this test to the group within first days of joining university. I were very surprised of reflection and how much can this test can tell about person. It's like telling fortunes but not fake

All I could think about was how I drew those items when I was a child and learning to draw. I wasn't thinking about my house, my tree, or me.

When I was 13 I did this test with a psychologist, I remember drawing the house really small, like in the very bottom left corner. It took up about 5% of the page. I remember the psychology asked me why I drew it so small.

Looking back, it makes so much sense, I was born into a narcissistic family and I hated my mum and brother because I was the family scapegoat.

When the session was done the psychologist asked to see the entire family and mum never took me back there, so that never happened.

I think that psychologist was the only person to ever see my pain, shame mum pulled me out when she caught on that they knew I wasn't actually a problem child, my mum was the problem.

This... seems to be as useful as the rorschach test, where the drawings don't actually mean much unless a person has a severe dysfunction

[OneTheBlue]

As an artist, I think my choices are often purely aesthetic. For example, I might draw a barren tree because I want to experiment with the texture of the branches. Then tomorrow, I might draw an apple tree bursting with fruit. What I draw is a look into my artistic sensibilities, but not my "inner self".

The house person. A person who is actually a house made like tree people are made but the body parts are from various trees and include clay people and metal people; etc. also house music. The croaking of the house being like "they sold the house that the person still lives in because mortal Kombat people said they couldn't be a tree person for their school play but they really are making house music from the haunted forests of mortal Kombat games because of a Gundam shell body part connector using slate-crate like it is assembling a house robot to keep the tree combined and alive like there's neurology and movements of balance throughout the body parts. And the shell being like "if they still have their shell, does it look like sektor? Because sektor is just an iron man shell? Or is sektor a house like an ihome ai robot that is an adams family story about it connecting itself together secretly and going to a factory.
Tree people business and house business. Regarding how potentially people married Houses and trees and despite how many different houses and trees they technically are, they see them as one combined person... Like, they deserve their own money and things...
Shamanism and voodooism and stuffed toys could be the first psychology conversation about breaking the ice because of a house or tree that is frozen being like it's not alive...
People don't grow on trees. Tree people are trees and grow on trees. Like making a forest for clones.
And making a house for clones because of how a house is like a factory or a plantation
-facility.
Money tree and lineage; clones aren't mirrors. Mirrors but like clothes for the tree people who are clones made from trees (lignin stuff).
Animatronic robot clones made from tree materials.
Like, it's not mortal Kombat when they fight, it's living tree Kombat.

I mean, this is all very interesting, but the whole time, I was really distracted by his drawing skills. Impressive

[nicoleonfeels]

This may be used as a guide, but definitely not the end all marker of personality.

[stevengoold]

This "test" sounds about as accurate as (insert psudo-science here). I am sure it is accurate for some people but at the same time a broken clock is right twice a day.

[jasongrundy]

Everything I draw looks like a potato. This is voodoo.

That's funny when I was in elementary school I took that test. I drew from an inside perspective of the home. The tree was visible out the window and the person was in a rocking chair. I actually drew the person that was giving me the test because I felt that she was unsecure and she asked me about the person that I told her that they was insecure but everything would work out in the end. Because of her demeanor she wasn't confident in what she was doing. By the way she was a psych student. I would find it interesting what she thought about me.

[BrendanishLeo]

"Is used by important authorities in the field" and "has little to no supporting evidence it works" are not two fucking phrases I want to be said about the same thing/

[jessicad]

I drew an abstract almost spider-like person. They were concerned. I just like Picasso…

[mokydenan]

Listening to this video made me believe, that this HTP Test is just as reliable as the Rorschach Test. Meaning, it's not reliable.
