Psychological Testing and Assessment Art Therapy and Mental Health Color perception and design

Abstract

Sixty-seven inpatients (12 women, 55 men) treated for alcohol and drug abuse were administered the MMPI and Luescher Color Test (LCT); as required by the test manual, the interpretations are based on a second LCT administration. Scores on Luescher's scales were unrelated to MMPI scores. The rank order of relative preference for each of the 8 LCT cards also was unrelated to MMPI scores. Older patients more often preferred brown and less often black. Female patients showed more preference for purple. The group of patients showed more preference for brown than a control group of 20 normal adults (3 women, 17 men) and also obtained higher (i.e., presumably more pathological) scores on Luescher's total score scale and compensation scale.
