Talk:Lüscher color test

The neutrality and factual accuracy of this article are disputed

Today the Max Luscher is regarded as a historical party game with little reliability. The test is seen as inaccurate because colors are not quantified, accurate, or uniform; participants responded to color names rather than colors alone, and the resulting analysis was prone to interpretation and generally seen to fit a wide range of individuals. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.197.131.72 (talk • contribs)

This test and the whole article is preposterous! I tried to do the test as instructed and then I did it randomly and also in different patterns and the results are always the same or at least very similar. This test has no predictive value whatsoever. Having this article in this form on wikipedia only makes it lose credibility! A simple warning abut the desputed neautrality of the text is NOT ENOUGH!

1. "party game" comment mere opinion, citation needed. 2. "inaccuracies.." patently false, published versions use standard descriptors, Pantone etc.. 3. "responded to color names rather" patently false, as above, printed color cards are not named! 4. "generally seen to fit a wide range of individuals" spurious comment, test makes no claims for uniqueness or temporal consistency. Roy Coleman (talk) 18:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Seriousness of the "Lüscher color test"

To prove the seriousness of the Lüscher Test a couple of English papers have been added for reference. Opponents - if any - should (must) also be cited with papers. The article will be further improved in the near future. --Zwikki (talk) 15:27, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Whether or not an individual's results from "Lüscher color test" (LCT) bear any relation to the MMPI is immaterial. There exist clear standards for developing, norming, and validating psychological tests, and I see no evidence at all that anyone associated with the LCT has even attempted to meet any of them. Moreover, the specific purpose of the MMPI is to assess the presence or absence of severe psychopathology. Thus, the population bases for the two instruments are completely different and non-comparable. Not that anyone asked, but I suggest that this entry be either a) cut way back so that no claims are made about any scientific validity, or b) erased completely. The most comprehensive source I can find on the subject of testing standards is part of a larger work on professional standards for psychologists. Professional standards are accessible here. Finally, the entry on psychometrics is excellent. saraw1 16:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Auroraz7 (talk • contribs)

Not up to Wikipedia standards, surely?

(This is the first time I've been moved to comment on a Wikipedia article, incidentally.)

This is a biased and opinionated article. For instance:

It (the test) uncovers the cause of psychological stress, which can lead to physical symptoms.

Not just uncited; mere conjecture. To be frank: how can any single test (let alone one of colour preference) universally "uncover the cause of psychological stress"? Support is needed for this statement.

Max Lüscher recognized that the sensory perception of color is objective and universally shared by all

Nonsense. What if I had a deficiency in colour perception, as many people do? Again: no attempt to cite this statement.

A shame, because I'm interested in this subject, but this is way below-par.

As to universality of human colour perception, look at Tetrachromacy for a start. Kay Dekker (talk) 20:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You misunderstand the article. The article does not contest that these claims are true - merely that the Lüscher test holds them to be true.94.195.160.76 (talk) 23:50, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

what is the connection between the colours selection and specific personal qualities?

Lüscher states that the selection of colours is subjective. But what is the principle, how this selection refers to specific personal qualities? Fingerprints are also subjective, but psycologists do not believe that the subjectivity of fingerprints can help with the defining of any personal qualities. I suppose, the answer should be given in the artice. --D'Arahchjan (talk) 11:31, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
