Psychometric screening of «non - existent animal» project method results

Abstract

The popularity of designing methodologies has being growing lately because they are less intent to fabrication from the testee than interviewers are. Their aim is hidden so the testee cannot guess the interpretation methods of diagnostics markers and their connection with the different personality demonstration.. The methodology called “The Picture of Non-existent Animal” is used very often for personality examination. There was “psychological qualification of methodology” ran by the group of psychologists in 2004. The particular features of non-existent animal were related to some psychological characteristics, after that there were eight symptom complexes compounded. The picture interpretation was like details rendering according to the specific catalogue. There is a problem of designing methodologies standardization. First of all they are characterized by the qualitative approach of personality examination, not quantitative. Some methodologies don’t have mathematical tool for the data results processing.
