Instruction
Look carefully at the five shapes: square, triangle, rectangle, circle, zigzag.
Choose from them the one in relation to which you can say: it's me!
Try to feel your form. If you are having difficulty, choose the one of the figures that first attracted you. Write it down as number 1.
Now arrange the remaining figures in order of preference and write down their names under the corresponding numbers. The figure that comes first makes it possible to determine your dominant character traits and behaviors. The rest of the figures are a kind of modulators that can give the behavior different shades. The last figure indicates the form of a person, interaction with which will present certain difficulties for you.
However, it may turn out that none of the figures suits you completely. Then you can be described by a combination of two or even three forms. The diagnostic accuracy is 85%.
Square
Basic psychological properties: Organized, attention to detail, diligence, rational, prudent, pedant, overly cautious, erudite, stubborn, persistent, conservative, delaying decisions, stingy, patient, thrifty. If your main shape turned out to be a Square, then you are a tireless worker! Diligence, diligence, which allows you to achieve the completion of the work - this is what, first of all, the true Squares are famous for. Endurance, patience and methodicalness usually make the Square a highly qualified specialist in his field. This is facilitated by an insatiable need for information. Squares are collectors of all sorts of data. All information is systematized, arranged on shelves. Therefore, the Squares are deservedly known as erudite, at least in their field.
Mental analysis is the forte of the Square. If you have firmly chosen for yourself the Square - a linear figure, then most likely you belong to the "left hemisphere" thinkers, i.e. to those who process data, in the language of computer science, in a sequential format: a-b-c-d, etc. Squares calculate the result rather than guessing about it. Squares are extremely attentive to details, details.
Squares love once and for all routine. The ideal of the Square is a planned, predictable life, and he does not like surprises and changes in the usual course of events. He is constantly ordering, organizing people and things around him. The style of clothing is conservative, calm colors, and focused more on convenience than on style and fashion.
All these qualities contribute to the fact that Squares can become excellent administrators, performers, but they are rarely good managers, managers. Excessive predilection for details, the need for additional, clarifying information to make a decision deprives the Square of efficiency. Accuracy, order, observance of rules and decency can lead to a delay in making a decision.
Squares can express their ideas clearly, but are not good speakers, able to captivate the audience due to their predilection for details, emotional dryness, which makes speech dull and monotonous.
In addition, rationality, emotional dryness and coldness prevent Squares from quickly establishing contacts with different people, and they tend to shift responsibility for others to others. interpersonal relationships. The square acts inefficiently in an amorphous situation. Squares have a high degree of anxiety.
People of this type can be recommended to choose the tactics of “investing for the long term”, and when deciding to make deals every day, develop their own trading tactics, draw up a clear work plan for the day and strictly follow it without succumbing to emotions.
Triangle
Main psychological characteristics: leader, leading, selfish, determined, focused on the goal, categorical, impatient, competitive, aimed at winning, arrogant, self-confident, ambitious, energetic.
This shape symbolizes leadership, and many Triangles feel this is their destiny. The most characteristic feature of the true Triangle is the ability to concentrate on the main goal. Triangles - energetic, unstoppable, strong personalities who set clear goals and usually achieve them!
They, like relatives - Squares, belong to linear forms and tend to also be "left hemisphere" thinkers, able to analyze the situation deeply and quickly. However, unlike Squares, which are focused on details, Triangles focus on the main thing, on the essence of the problem. Their strong pragmatic orientation directs mental analysis and limits it to the search for an effective solution to the problem under given conditions.
The triangle is very confident man who wants to be right about everything. A strong need to be right and manage the state of affairs, to decide not only for themselves, but, if possible, for others, makes the Triangle a person who is constantly competing, competing with others. The dominant setting in any business is the setting for victory, winning, success. He often takes risks, is impatient and intolerant of those who hesitate in making decisions. They have a low level of anxiety.
Triangles really don’t like to be wrong and admit their mistakes with great difficulty. We can say that they see what they want to see, therefore they don’t like to change their decisions, they are often categorical, do not recognize objections and in most cases will do their own thing. However, they are very successful at learning what fits their pragmatic orientation, contributes to the achievement of the main goals, and absorbs useful information like a sponge.
The appearance of Triangles is the image of a successful person, clothes are fashionable or expensive. Triangles are very health conscious. Triangle - a good speaker, a loud, low voice, a fast pace of speech and a clear pronunciation.
Triangles are ambitious. If it is a matter of honor for the Square to achieve highest quality work performed, then the Triangle seeks to achieve a high position, to acquire a high status, in other words, to make a career. Before taking on a case or making a decision, the Triangle consciously or unconsciously raises the question: "What will I get from this?" Triangles make excellent high-level managers. They are perfectly able to present to the top management the significance of their own work and the work of their subordinates, they feel a profitable business a mile away and in the struggle for it they can "push their foreheads" against their opponents. The main negative quality of the "triangular" shape: strong egocentrism, focus on themselves, they are rather introverts. Triangles on the way to the heights of power do not show particular scrupulousness in relation to moral standards and can go to their goal over the heads of others. Triangles make everything and everyone revolve around themselves, without them life would lose its sharpness.
People of this type can work both as a trader and an investor, depending on the goal setting.
Rectangle
Main psychological characteristics: The state of confusion at a given time, unpredictability, the desire to find oneself, courage, curiosity, excessive suggestibility.
It is a symbol of the state of transition and change. This is a temporary form of personality that can be worn by the other four relatively stable figures at certain periods of life. These are people who are not satisfied with the way of life they lead now, and therefore are busy looking for better position. The reasons for a rectangular state can be very different, but one thing unites them - the significance of changes for a particular person.
The main mental state of the Rectangle is a more or less conscious state of confusion, entanglement in problems, and uncertainty about oneself at this point in time.
Most character traits Rectangles - inconsistency and unpredictability of actions during the transition period. Rectangles can change a lot from day to day and even within the same day! They have, as a rule, low self-esteem, strive to become better at something, look for new methods of work, lifestyle. If you look closely at the behavior of the Rectangle, you will notice that he uses clothes of other shapes throughout the period: "triangular", "round", etc. Lightning, abrupt and unpredictable changes in behavior. Rectangles tend to confuse and alarm other people, and they may deliberately avoid contact with a person without a rod. Rectangles simply need to communicate with other people, and this is another difficulty of the transition period.
However, like all people, Rectangles have positive qualities that attract others to them. This. First of all - curiosity, inquisitiveness, a keen interest in everything that happens and courage. Rectangles are trying to do something they've never done before; asking questions that they previously lacked the guts to answer. During this period, they are open to new ideas, values, ways of thinking and living, they easily learn everything new. True, the reverse side of this is excessive credulity, suggestibility, naivety. Therefore Rectangles are easy to manipulate. "Rectangularity" is just a stage. She will pass!
Circle
It is a mythological symbol of harmony. The one who confidently chooses it is sincerely interested in good interpersonal relationships. The highest value for the Circle is people, their well-being. The circle is the most benevolent of the five shapes. It most often serves as the glue that holds both the work team and the family together, that is, it stabilizes the group.
Circles are the best communicators among the five forms, primarily because they are the best listeners, they have high sensitivity, developed empathy - the ability to empathize, sympathize, emotionally respond to the experience of another person. The circle feels someone else's joy and feels someone else's pain as its own. Circles cheer for their team and are popular among work colleagues. However, they tend to be weak managers and leaders in business.
Circles, by virtue of their focus on people rather than business, try to please everyone. They try to keep the peace, and for this they sometimes avoid taking a firm stand and making unpopular decisions. For the Circle, there is nothing more difficult than to enter into interpersonal conflict. The circle is happy when everyone gets along with each other. Therefore, when the Circle has a conflict with someone, it is most likely that the Circle will give in first.
Circles are not determined, are weak in political games, and often fail to present themselves and their team properly. All this leads to the fact that Circles are often dominated by stronger personalities, for example, Triangles. However, in one area, the Circles show enviable firmness - in matters of morality or violations of justice. Often they are fatalists.
The Circle is a non-linear form, and those who confidently identify with the Circle are more likely to be "right hemisphere" thinkers. Right hemispheric thinking is more figurative, intuitive. Therefore, the processing of information by Kroogi is carried out not in a sequential format, but with the omission of individual links. This does not mean that Circles are at odds with logic, just that formalisms do not receive priority in solving life problems. The main features of their style of thinking are their focus on the subjective factors of the problem (values, assessments, feelings, etc.) and the desire to find common ground even in opposing points of view. We can say that the Circle is a born psychologist. However, in order to become the head of a serious, large business, the Circle lacks the "left-brain" organizational skills of its linear brothers - the Triangle and the Square.
Zigzag
This figure symbolizes creativity, if only because it is the most unique of the five figures and the only open figure. If you have firmly chosen the Zigzag as the main form, then you are most likely a true "right-brained" thinker, a dissident, since linear forms outnumber you. So, like your closest relative, the Circle, only to an even greater extent, you are characterized by education, intuition, mosaic. Strict sequential deduction is not your style. Zigzag's thought makes desperate leaps: from a... to... z! Therefore, it is difficult for many linear, "left hemisphere" people to understand Zigzags. "Right hemispheric" thinking is not fixed on the details, therefore, by simplifying the picture of the world in some way, it allows you to build holistic, harmonious concepts and images, to see beauty. Zigzags usually have a developed aesthetic sense.
The dominant thinking style of the ZigZag is most often the synthetic style. Combining completely different, dissimilar ideas and creating something new, original on this basis - that's what Zigzags like. Unlike Circles, Zigzags are not at all interested in consensus and achieve synthesis not through concessions, but, on the contrary, by sharpening the conflict of ideas and building new concept in which this conflict is resolved. They are always extroverts. Moreover, using their natural wit, they can be very caustic, opening the eyes of others to the possibility of a new solution. Zigzags tend to see the world as constantly changing. For this reason, nothing is more boring to them than things that never change, a routine, a pattern, rules and regulations, the status quo, or people always agreeing or pretending to agree.
Zigzags simply cannot work productively in well-structured situations. They are annoyed by clear vertical and horizontal connections, strictly fixed responsibilities and constant ways of working. They need to have a lot of variety and high level stimulation in the workplace. They also want to be independent of others in their work. Then the Zigzag comes to life and begins to fulfill its main purpose - to generate new ideas and work methods. Zigzags are never content with the way things are done now or have been done in the past. Zigzags look to the future and are more interested in possibility than reality. The world of ideas is as real to them as the world of things is to the basic ones. They spend a considerable part of their lives in this ideal world, hence the origin of such traits as impracticality, unrealism and naivety.
Zigzag is the most enthusiastic, the most excitable of all five patterns. When he has a new and interesting idea, he is ready to tell it to the whole world! Zigzags are tireless preachers of their ideas and are able to motivate everyone around them. However, they lack politics: they are unrestrained, very expressive ("cut the truth in the eye"), which, along with their eccentricity, often prevents them from putting their ideas into practice. In addition, they are strong in working out specific details, without which the materialization of an idea is impossible, and they are not too persistent in bringing things to the end, since with the loss of novelty, interest in the idea is also lost.
Psychogeometry was formed as a system in the USA, and its creator is Susan Dellinger. The psychogeometric test allows you to instantly determine the typology of a person's personality, characterize personal qualities and create a scenario for a person's behavior in standard situations. You can pass the Dellinger psychogeometric test online in a few minutes, and the diagnostic accuracy will be about 85%.
Psychogeometric psychology test
Look carefully at the five shapes: rectangle, square, circle, triangle, zigzag. Choose from them the one that best suits you. Try to become aware of your form. If you cannot choose, then mark the figure that first caught your eye. Now rank the remaining figures by writing their names under the correct numbers.
Interpretation of the Dellinger psychometric test
The figure that you chose first will determine the main, dominant features of your character and behavior. The other four figures are modulators that influence the main line of your behavior. The figure to which you assigned the last fifth number will characterize the person with whom it is most difficult for you to find mutual language.
Square.
Tireless workers who have chosen this figure, they are characterized by perseverance, zeal, a desire to bring any work begun to the end. These people love to collect all kinds of data, the constant need for information, patience, diligence and endurance make them highly qualified specialists in their field. Forte Square - the ability to mental analysis, the ability to give out the necessary information almost instantly. People who choose a square are most often left-brained, that is, those who process information sequentially. They are very attentive to details, love order, dream of a planned life. Such people can be excellent technicians and administrators, but the work of managers is not for them, the need for accurate and detailed information deprives these people of efficiency in making decisions. Emotional dryness, rationality and conservatism in decision-making prevent Squares from establishing contacts.
Triangle
This is a symbol of a leader, such people are able to highlight the main goals, set specific goals for themselves and, as a rule, achieve them. Triangles are also left hemisphere and are able to deeply and quickly analyze the situation. But unlike Squares, who are interested in details, Triangles are focused on the essence of the situation. The need to manage the situation, to be always right makes such a person constantly competing with others, working only to win. Triangles quickly learn new things, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. Such people are often impatient and do not like those who hesitate in their decisions, they are extremely ambitious. Squares want to achieve the best quality of their work, and Triangles strive to achieve high status. The main negative quality of these people is egocentrism, which does not allow them to be especially scrupulous on the way to the top.
Rectangle
This figure symbolizes the transitional state of the individual, so they are characterized by inconsistency and unpredictability. These people can change a lot in one day. They often have low self-esteem, but they need to communicate with other people, although others may shy away from interacting with such a malleable person. At the same time, Rectangles are inquisitive, bold, open to everything new. Such people are easily suggestible, the mime is easy to manipulate.
Circle
This symbol speaks of harmony and the desire to establish good interpersonal relationships, the highest value for the Circle is people. He is the one who holds the work team together, knows how to listen, has a high degree of empathy, perceiving someone else's pain as his own. Such people do not like conflicts and tend to be the first to give in, their motto is "If only there was no war." Those who choose the Circle belong to the right hemisphere, they rely more on intuition, most of all they pay attention to subjective moments - feelings, values. Such people can find common ground even in opposing points of view; they are born psychologists. But the lack of organizational skills inherent in the Triangle and the methodicalness of the Square will prevent the Circle from becoming the head of a serious business.
Zigzag
Those who choose such a symbol have creative, creative thinking. If a person firmly chooses a zigzag, then he is a dissident, he is characterized by intuitiveness, imagery. Zigzag thoughts are often misunderstood by left brain rational Triangles and Squares. Such people do not concentrate on details, they see beauty as a whole, their aesthetic sense is very developed. But the Zigzags do not seek to reach a consensus, they want a conflict of ideas, contradictions, in order to bring something new out of there. They don't like routine 
monotony, people trembling because of status or agreeing for the sake of appearance. Zigzags cannot work where there is a clear structure, they need independence like air. This sign is the most excitable and enthusiastic, it is a symbol of idealists, such people are expressive and eccentric. But specific details and trifles are not for them, they cannot be too persistent, which prevents them from bringing all their ideas to life.
It may happen that no figure suits you completely. In this case, a combination of two or even three figures can describe your personality.
About the personality of any person can tell his preferences in a particular area, say, a favorite dish or color. Psychogeometry is a personality analysis technique developed in the USA by Dr. Susan Dellinger of Psychology. According to her, there are five types of personality, each of which corresponds to a certain geometric figure.
During testing, subjects are asked to indicate the geometric figure with which they associate themselves. Yes, those who have chosen square distinguished by perseverance and diligence, organization and punctuality. They are usually practical and clean in Everyday life. In addition, square people are prone to analytical and rational thinking, rigid logic. They make very effective leaders as well as performers.
The main disadvantages of the "square" are conservatism and pedantry. He likes to put everything "on the shelves", strictly adheres to compliance different rules and norms. Order is the most important thing for him, spontaneity is annoying, so he loses where it is necessary to make quick and non-standard decisions or show creativity.
Those who associate themselves with triangle are usually strong personalities. They are self-confident, ambitious and have a lot of ambitions. "Triangle" is a born leader, he always seeks to seize control of the situation. True, for the sake of justice it should be said that the claims of the "triangles" are by no means unfounded. They are energetic, decisive, able to concentrate on the main thing and analyze the situation, they are very sociable and easily find a common language with others. They make successful politicians, businessmen, managers.
Unfortunately, Triangle people are risk-averse, do not like to admit their mistakes, and are self-centered. But despite this, they are often popular, others are drawn to them. It is among the "triangles" that there are the most so-called magnetic personalities.
Selected rectangle indicates a personality crisis. Such a choice suggests that a person is not in the current situation, that he is in a kind of "transitional" state. But sometimes an individual stays in this state for a very, very long time.
"Rectangles" usually do not understand their own desires, they do not have clear guidelines, that is, they are at a "crossroads", not knowing where to move on. They are often nervous, prone to frequent mood swings, inconsistent actions and impulsive decision making.
People of this warehouse are not self-confident, have low self-esteem and often lack communication. But this does not mean that they are worthless: "rectangles" are open to everything new, they strive for self-development, read a lot, work on themselves, trying to change themselves and their lives.
For those who choose circle the main value is other people and communication with them. "Circles" are contact, benevolent, trusting and in any conflict, as a rule, they take the position of a peacemaker. For them, the opinion of others means a lot. Since people-"circles" have developed emotional, they know how to sympathize and often turn into "vest" for friends and acquaintances. But they also feel great lies.
True, fear sharp corners" leads to the fact that "circles" rarely take decisive action. As a rule, they tend to avoid responsibility by shifting it to others. Circle people do not like to spoil relationships, they would rather give a vague answer or promise than openly say "no" .
There are not many people who choose as the most preferred geometric shape zigzag. "Zigzags" are distinguished by impulsiveness, variability, inconstancy in views. But among them most of all creative personalities, generators of ideas. They can think not in words, but in images, and base their judgments and decisions on intuition rather than logic. Like all idealists, "zigzags" are naive and impractical, although sometimes others suffer from their sharp tongue.
Zigzag people often give away their ideas to someone else, as they themselves are not able to bring the matter to the end. They are not very organized, they love freedom and independence. Conditions matter little to them. They also love flattery. In addition, "zigzags" are interested in sex. You have already guessed that most of the bohemians belong to this category.
You can also "arrange" various figures in descending order of preferences, since we all may have separate features of other psychotypes. And with representatives of the category that we put in last place, it is most difficult for us to find a common language.
They say geometric figures can symbolize certain qualities of a person. Looking at the figures, a person chooses a square for its stability, or a circle for round shapes, or a zigzag for quirkiness. What do you choose?
Look carefully at the pictures of the figures. Choose from them the one that you like best and read the description of your character.
People who have chosen , usually restrained, persistent and incredibly hardy personalities. They finish everything they start. Thanks to these qualities, squares reach great heights in their profession and become highly qualified specialists, especially in the field of technology.
The insatiable thirst for knowledge inherent in them, as well as the peculiarity of systematizing and applying the acquired knowledge, elevates them to an absolutely deserved rank - the rank of erudite. Squares are ardent adherents of planning and order, so everything that happens outside the plan and not according to the instructions can unsettle them and piss them off.
Unfortunately, their overzealous attention to detail and constant need for clarification interfere with quick decision making, which is why they are rarely top managers. Because of their conservatism, pedantry, rationalism and emotional dryness, it is difficult to establish contacts with others.
Triangle is a symbol of leadership. characteristic feature people who choose the triangle is the ability to focus on the main goal and quickly analyze the situation.
Triangles are energetic, self-confident strong personalities, with great difficulty admitting their mistakes and in the highest degree pragmatic. Often they are very decisive and do not tolerate objections. They are vain and strive to achieve the high position and status of their subordinates.
The desire to be the first and right in everything, to manage the state of affairs makes them constantly compete and compete with others. They know how to make everything and everyone revolve around them, but on the way to their goals they are not very scrupulous in matters of morality. As a rule, brilliant managers, leaders and managers are obtained from triangles.
Circle - this is the most benevolent of the five geometric figures, which in mythology symbolizes harmony. Those who choose the circle are highly sensitive people, with extremely developed ability empathize, sympathize and feel other people's pain and joy.
For the Circle, there is no greater happiness than to see the harmony of the surrounding people with each other, therefore, in the event of a conflict, in an effort to maintain peace, he will most likely give in first. Able to hold both the family and the team at work. The circle is a born psychologist.
He appreciates people and is able to "read" them like an open book. A glance is enough for him to catch the slightest signs of hypocrisy, deceit and falsehood. The desire of the Circle to avoid conflict is sometimes to the detriment of the cause. Focus on people, not on business, lack of determination and inability to present themselves often prevent the Circle from becoming a strong manager and leader in business.
Zigzag is a symbol of creativity. The people who have chosen this figure are great originals. That is why stamps and stereotypes are not for them. In addition to a developed aesthetic sense, they often have natural wit and even causticity. Compared to others, Zigzag is the most enthusiastic and excitable person.
If a new idea comes to Zigzag's head, he will do everything to let the whole world know about it. Zigzags are quick-tempered and expressive. Their mood changes more often than the time of day, but at the same time, most Zigzags are charismatic and charming people.
Independence is the main condition for the prosperity of their creativity. In work, they cannot stand rigid frameworks, fixed responsibilities and monotonous constancy, and, unfortunately, they do not always bring the work they have started to the end.
Rectangle symbolizes the state of change, therefore it is a temporary form of personality. Most often, people choose it during a period of extreme dissatisfaction with life and themselves.
Rectangles wholeheartedly strive to change everything for the better and, in order to fulfill their desires, connect their best qualities Keywords: inquisitive mind, curiosity, courage.
They are open to new things and ready to absorb knowledge for drastic changes, but their openness is on the verge of gullibility and suggestibility, so during this period Rectangles can become the object of someone's manipulation. Fortunately, “rectangularity” is a temporary stage and after the successful implementation of the plan, it will pass!
