METHOD FOR ASSESSING PSYCHOEMOTIONAL STATE IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS BY PROJECTIVE TEST OF FAIRY-TALE CHARACTERS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61B5/16 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: psychoemotional state in children and adolescents is assessed by a projective test of fairy-tale characters by presenting pictures of the fairy-tale characters to the persons being tested. The presented pictures contain a number of images of the fairy-tale characters grouped according to their archetypes. The person being tested is suggested to choose the first mini set of the characters having the most subjectively positive characteristics, as well as to choose the second mini set of the characters with the most subjectively negative characteristics from the rest. The number of the characters of the both mini sets is less than the total number of the characters. The characters chosen from both sets first are assigned with the highest point; the characters chosen next are assigned with descending points according to the degree of priority. A procedure of mathematical processing represents summing the points assigned to the characters of the same archetype, and the derived total point of the characters of the same archetype is used to conclude the personality.

EFFECT: method enables increasing the effectiveness and objectivity of the integral assessment of the personal psychological profile in the adolescents and children by using the projective method.
