Target: study of the level, purposefulness of thinking, the ability to understand and operate with the figurative meaning of the text, differentiation and purposefulness of judgments, the level of development of speech processes.
Materials: a set of proverbs and metaphors.
Progress and interpretation: the subject is called several metaphors and proverbs and asked to explain their abstract figurative meaning.
A literal interpretation of a phrase, or an explanation using examples from one’s own experience, indicates a low level of communication. The results can be assessed using a table.
You can use this test in another version, asking the test subject to compare phrases with each other and find among them similar or opposite in meaning. This will allow us to diagnose the level of formed associative processes and flexibility of thinking.
The technique can be used both in the study of adolescents, young men and adults.

Compare the scores of all styles with each other; The style of behavior that received the highest number of points is your style of behavior in a conflict situation.
Interpretation:
1st type “turtle”. People of this type have a great desire to hide from problems under a “shell”. These are representatives of positive conservatism, they are valuable because they never lose their goal. In a calm situation, a person of this type supports you, but in a difficult situation he may move away from you.
Type 2 – “shark”. For people of this type, the main thing is their goal, their work. They do not care about the attitude of their colleagues (“Your love is of no use to me”). A smart leader respects the focus of the “shark” - you just need to limit its claims. “Sharks” are very important for the team, because, moving towards their own goal, they can lead the team out of a difficult situation.
Type 3 – “bear cub”. People of this type try to smooth out rough edges so that everyone in the team treats each other well. Knowing the concerns and interests of everyone, they will serve tea on time, give flowers on your birthday, sympathize, and support you in difficult times. But at the same time, they can completely forget the ultimate goal of their activity, because human relationships are the most important for them.
4th type – “fox”. People of this type always strive to reach a compromise. They not only want everyone to feel good, they become active participants in any activity. But in a relationship, the “fox” can deviate from the main commandments (they use the principle “if you don’t grease, you won’t go”).
Type 5 – “owl”. These are honest and open people. Representatives of this type will never dodge or avoid the fight; they can sacrifice good relationships in the name of their chosen goal. They have a strategy of honest and open struggle, honest and open goals.
In connection with the standardization of work and the development of the influence of psychology and psychiatry, many enterprises are introducing into their practice a psychological examination of most groups of people who, for one reason or another, interact with society: candidates for positions, service workers, teachers, schoolchildren. The situation is associated with increasing cases of industrial conflicts and even disasters associated with the unfavorable psychological background of an employee or the team as a whole. HR specialists have developed a multifaceted psychophysiological assessment, borrowed from the experience of clinicians, psychiatrists and counseling psychologists. In the foreseeable future, such a program promises many research prospects and improvement of the work of certain services.

Practice of techniques in HR. Is it that scary?
In most cases, methods for psychodiagnostics are offered to respondents when applying for a job that requires certain psychological parameters: resistance to stress, moral standards, communication skills. The employer’s desire to get an employee who is “healthy, handsome, sociable, without bad habits” creates a number of obstacles on the way of the unemployed to his position. However, the expectations of businessmen interested in their own profits are certainly justified and create the necessary level of competition. As a rule, responsible persons and senior employees are offered to undergo a psychophysiological examination. The need for this procedure is due to the need to quickly find out what potential lies in a future employee, and “whether the game is worth the candle.”
In addition, many techniques help to identify employees’ motivation to work and help improve the enterprise’s management system. Managers who do not skimp on a psychological coach or an experienced HR specialist rarely face the problem of staff leaving or the hiring of employees who are unable to fulfill their job responsibilities.
Psychophysiological examination: Ministry of Internal Affairs, law enforcement agencies and army
Great attention is paid to testing in law enforcement agencies that have connections with deviant and criminal populations. In this case, a full examination is carried out not only upon hiring, but also with a certain frequency during the period of adaptation and further service. Special attention is paid to employees of the Federal Drug Control Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These structures automatically issue “red cards” to applicants who have even minor psychological deviations, or who have had dealings with a narcologist or psychiatrist.
In this case, management needs not only a psychophysiological examination, but also complete anthropometric data. The well-known proverb “A healthy mind in a healthy body”, as interpreted by HR specialists when hiring a new employee, sounds like “Both the body and the psyche must be ready for stress.” And the loads are often colossal. That is why personnel officers use psychophysiological examinations: tests and projective techniques that allow them to identify the necessary psychometric parameters.
Luscher color test
The breadth of its application is due to the speed of the study and fairly accurate interpretation of the results. The subject is asked to arrange the colored cards in a row, based on personal preferences. At the beginning of the row there is a card with the most pleasant color for the test subject. Next are the colors that you like less (in descending order). As a result, the series should end with the least pleasant color for the subject.
Advantages: speed, ease of interpretation, ability to automate the process.
Disadvantages: Possibility of giving socially desirable answers. The technique cannot serve as a battery (basic) one.
Drawing test
It is a very effective, but rather labor-intensive diagnostic method. A candidate for the position must complete a creative task related to drawing an object or group of objects (“Non-existent animal”, “House, tree, person”). The psychologist evaluates the pressure on the pencil, the location of objects, the geometry of the drawing, the emphasis on certain features of the drawing (eyes, structure, plants, animal fur, etc.).
Advantages: very effective projective psychophysiological examination. In the hands of an experienced psychologist it becomes a real “psychic microscope”. Using the drawing, a very wide range of psychological parameters is determined. The subject cannot give a socially desirable answer,
Disadvantages: labor-intensive process, impossibility of automation using a computer.
Psychophysiological examination of intellectual abilities
The use of intelligence quotient (IQ) testing is a controversial issue in hiring. Psychologists note that respondents with high scores may be ineffective, while respondents with low scores may be highly effective. And vice versa. This means that methods for determining IQ cannot give a complete answer to the question of professional suitability. Many businessmen do not take this fact into account, introducing discrimination based on intellectual abilities into the personnel policy of the enterprise. From this, by the way, they lose more than they gain. But it’s still worth considering popular methods.
Eysenck test
The test taker is asked to solve a number of problems within a certain period of time (depending on the version of the test). The data obtained by the psychologist is checked against the key, and the subject receives an assessment of his intellectual abilities. Most of the respondents have an IQ ranging from 90 to 110.
The tests of D. Wexler and J. Raven are identical to the Eysenck test in obtaining results and processing.
Advantages: Providing a picture of IQ in a relatively short time. Possibility of automation of the technique.
Disadvantages: the validity of the methodology for determining professional suitability is questionable.
To summarize the above, it should be remembered that there is no need to be afraid of tests. They reveal only part of the data about our psychological characteristics. If an employer sees a valuable employee in an applicant, he will never refuse to provide the necessary position.
Not my work, but maybe it will help someone.
Psychological tests, passing technique
The first use of psychological testing for hiring began in the United States in the fifties. In Russia, the peak of fashion for psychological methods in the selection of candidates occurred in 2000-2008. It's hard to argue that psychological tests are indeed a reliable source of information, but only in the hands of a professional. For example, in Germany, the employee conducting the test must be a certified psychologist and must explain to the candidate what exactly he is determining. In Russia, a recruiting manager can be an economist or philologist and at the same time confidently process test results and make “diagnoses” for candidates.
So let's get started!
Psychological tests used in the selection of candidates are selected depending on the requirements for the future employee as a professional, team member or manager. Most often, several tests (battery) are selected for testing, covering the most important intellectual, personal, motivational and volitional qualities for a given profession. The most popular techniques can be divided into several groups.
Psychophysiological
During an interview, were you asked to cross out numbers and letters in a row of random numbers and letters within a certain amount of time? Know that you are passing the Bourdon proof test or the Schultz table. The main test subjects: accountants, cashiers, assistant secretaries, salespeople and specialists who need reaction speed, ability to concentrate and resistance to stress in their work. At the end of the test, the completed sheet is checked for errors. If there are a lot of them and, moreover, by the end of testing their number increases, it means that the candidate’s attention is exhausted, and he is not able to concentrate on one activity for a long time. They prefer to eliminate such accountants or cashiers right away: they are sure to make mistakes during the working day.
How to get: Find a test using an Internet search engine and practice at home: one, two, three... ten times. Even if you are not hired, improving your memory and attention will never be a bad idea.
Personal
Personality tests cause the most serious hostility among candidates; many perceive them as an invasion of personal space. Meanwhile, such questionnaires are quite widely used in personnel selection, as they allow you to look deep into a person: find out his basic needs and interests, motives for behavior, goals and values, and understand how he makes decisions.
One of the popular personality tests that can reveal the basic qualities of a candidate and his potential is the Myers-Briggs questionnaire. The original test contains at least 94 questions and determines people's preferences by selecting answer options from the situation: yes or no. For example, “In your opinion, the biggest disadvantage is being insensitive or unreasonable?” Answers are not graded as right or wrong, the whole test was originally built on the principle “one likes pears, the other likes oatmeal”...
“People who can’t make decisions irritate me,” “I could live away from people,” and 103 other similar statements are suggested by Cattell’s equally popular questionnaire. According to the theory of the English psychologist and founder of the test, any personality is based on 16 main traits: practicality-dreaming, isolation-sociability, self-confidence-guilt, the dynamics of whose development the test will help determine.
One of the shortest personality tests, but not inferior in effectiveness, is the Eysenck test, which allows you to identify the type of temperament and level of emotional stability of candidates. Questions: “Do you prefer books to meeting people?” or “Do you ever have tremors?” also do not provide a variety of answer options.
How to get: Personality tests are considered the most "tricky" ones because they do not contain right or wrong answers. One of the surest ways to pass the test is to find out what kind of candidate the company is looking for and become one for a while. At the same time, be careful, avoiding unnoticed trap questions, the most common of which: the same question, in slightly different wording. It is necessary to ensure that in both cases the answer is the same, otherwise they may be accused of insincerity.
Another type of “traps” are questions: “Do you always pay for travel on public transport?” or “Have you ever been irritated?” You shouldn’t answer them the way an ideal person would answer; normal people don’t always do everything right. There's nothing wrong with letting off steam sometimes. But if the critical mass of deception in answers exceeds a certain value, you will be accused of “social desirability.”
Projective
If you were asked to draw a non-existent animal, choose your preferred colors or geometric figure, this means that you are being examined through projective tests.
The simplest test to carry out and obtain results is considered to be the psychogeometric test. Candidates are shown five geometric shapes: a circle, a square, a rectangle, a zigzag and a triangle and are asked to choose one of them, in relation to which he can say: “This is the figure that symbolizes me!” Depending on the chosen figure, the subject will be identified as a workaholic, creative person or careerist.
Applicants for positions where they have to interact a lot with other people - sales managers or delivery drivers - are often asked to take the Rosenzweig test. It uses 24 picture cards on which people are depicted in various conflict situations and a replica of one of the characters is immediately given, and the subject must come up with what the replica of the second participant could be. Using the test, you can identify how a person reacts to failure and how he manifests himself in conflicts.
You will be asked to choose your preferred color from cards of different colors during the Luscher color test. They take the test twice after a short period of time. According to the founder of the test, the choice of color can show the subject’s focus on a certain activity and the most stable personality traits.
Of all the projective techniques, drawing tests are used least often, since processing the results is a long, labor-intensive process that requires training and experience from a specialist. The main essence of the test: the candidate is asked to draw a non-existent animal or the composition “house, tree, person”, then HR analyzes the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the drawing.
How to get: To pass the Luscher test, you just need to remember the correct sequence of choosing colors: red, yellow, green, purple, blue, brown, gray, black. And remember, if you repeat the ideal order twice, it will alert the tester, so when choosing again, you need to slightly change the sequence of colors.
In the Rosenzweig test, as in personality tests, you can use the principle of getting used to the image and constructing a phrase not according to the first impulse, but how an ideal candidate would answer.
With drawing tests, you need to remember a few rules for interpreting drawings. So, an animal with teeth or protruding sharp corners will be a sign of your conflicting or aggressive disposition. An energetic, confident person draws with clear, smooth lines or strokes with little pressure.
Intelligent
Few of us have not tried to find out our IQ level at home, solving exercises on arithmetic, memorizing numbers, completing pictures, etc. Eichars suggest solving the same well-known and widely used tests to determine the level of intelligence by D. Wechsler and Stanford test batteries -Binet.
Often the average passing score for a company is set at 120 conventional units. At the same time, the intelligence of the average person (IQ) is 100 units (half of the solved problems), and the intelligence of a person who fully answers all the tasks corresponds to 200 units.
In addition to IQ tests, HR can also offer logic tests, which test the ability to separate correct logical consequences from incorrect ones. In tasks, unfamiliar words are often found, such as “kuzdra”, “zapyrka”, “dubarator”; this was done specifically to separate the ability for logical thinking from other knowledge about the world around us. At first, the tasks may confuse the candidate: “John is always either urping or purring” or “Some lapuchondria are not stable,” but later normal logic takes over.
How to get: In intelligence tests, the main task for the applicant is to score the maximum number of points over a certain period of time. The most common mistakes in such tests are related to inattention and missing tasks for which the answer cannot be found. Basic rules: before starting the solution, carefully read the questions and try to answer all the tasks: even if you don’t know the correct answer, there is always a chance to guess it. And the last thing: training, many of these tests are built on the same principle, and once you understand the task, the second time you will spend much less time on it.
Logic tests have one correct answer, and if you have doubts about your own logic, you can simply memorize the answer options.
Professional
Most often, financiers, accountants, lawyers and programmers are offered to take professional tests to meet the requirements for a vacancy and check a good theoretical basis; this allows them to rank specialists and make their initial screening.
At the same time, many organizations develop their own tests, which makes it possible to increase their reliability and take into account the specifics of the organization and these positions. For example, a lawyer or accountant may be asked to find a solution to a difficult situation that has already happened in the company.
How to get: Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to “cheat” professional tests, especially if the employer compiles them himself. And is it necessary to deceive if we are talking about your professionalism, which will subsequently need to be confirmed every day.

| 28 | Patience and a little effort | A person’s efforts and efforts over time can solve any problem, overcome any obstacle. This may not happen right away, but still.

| 29 | The word is silver and silence is gold | The words spoken are of great importance. But by holding your tongue in time, you can sometimes do much better than by speaking out.

| 32 | Friend is known in trouble | A true friend is someone who comes to the rescue in misfortune or helps solve a problem. This is the only way to recognize a true friend: by your willingness to help. You cannot yet call real friends those with whom you simply have fun or communicate when everything is fine with you. It is still unknown how they will behave if you feel bad, whether they will need you. Friend, his sincere feelings for you and willingness to help can only be tested in a problematic situation. |
| 33 | A kind word to a man is like rain in a drought | The word has great power. In difficult times, a kind word of support can encourage a person, breathe life into him, and strengthen his strength. It's like a sip of water that quenches your thirst. |
| 34 | Your anger is your enemy | When angry, a person is capable of very bad things. In anger, a person does not understand the words he speaks. Therefore, you need to deal with anger the same way as with an enemy: try not to let it get to you, and not allow it to control you. |
| 35 | The mountain gave birth to a mouse | This is what they say about high hopes but little results, about someone who promises a lot but delivers little. |
