Description
The Lüscher colour test is a projective personality test based on colour preferences. It was developed by Swiss psychotherapist Max Lüscher in 1947 based on his theory correlating personality traits with colour preferences. In the test, participants are asked to rank coloured cards in order of preference, which is meant to reveal personality traits. The test has been widely discredited.
