Use the stimulus material in the form of a scheme of nine circles with a diameter of 15 millimeters, arranged horizontally in a row, while on the form below is a horizontal arrow, which indicates the direction of movement from the point of reference when determining its place in the social group from left to right.

It is taken into account that a father and a mother are symbolically located on the first and the second places, on the third and fourth places there are the child himself and his brother or sister, on the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth places there are other significant relatives, including a person who is not a relative, but the child has an emotional connection with him. After the diagnostic, the interpretation algorithm includes the value of the selected circle in a row from the reference point as follows: the first is a very high self-assessment, the second is an overestimated self-assessment, the third and fourth are normal self-assessment, the fifth, sixth and seventh are low self-assessment, the eighth and ninth are very low self-assessment. Color and character of the painting are taken into account. Depending on the place of intersection of the color horizontally with the number of the circle from the vertical reference point, a conclusion is made about the level of self-assessment of the authoritative-status position of the child of 6–9 years old.
