[The color preferences of adolescents with character traits]

An experimental study has been conducted of validity of Lusher's "Clinical Colour Test" concerning the types of accentuations of characters according to classification of A. E. Lichko. The new informational indices were suggested, namely: "the sum of the main colours" (sigma n) and "the coefficient of the correlation of the sums of the main colours" (K(m)). These indices were absent in a classical variation of the test. The results of investigation showed the validity of Lusher's test for evaluation of the majority of accentuations types as well as of deliquency and organic basis of pathocharacterological deviations. It was also emphasized that the diagnosis of accentuations types by means of Lucher's test was possible only with consideration of correlation of preferences of "main colours". The conclusion was made about perspectivity of application of Lusher's test for both group and individual diagnosis.
