Profile of the Artist: MARI® Card Test Research Results

Abstract

The authors are approved MARI® instructors in mandala assessment and Board members of the Association of Teachers of Mandala Assessment, Inc. who have been using the MARI® Card Test developed by art therapist Joan Kellogg, MA, A.T.R., in their clinincal work. After several years of testing artists and/or art therapists, the authors observed specific patterns unique to this population. Thus, the question was raised: Is there a personality profile for the artist? A research project was designed to test the authors' hypotheses about the creative personality. The MARI® Card Test was administered to an artist group (70 subjects) and a control group (70 subjects). Results yielded significant differences in card and color choices.
