IF a person is given a free theme, to draw whatever he wants... would a psychologist be able to analyze this drawing and describe personality traits?
I know graphology is bunk. So is Rorschach. But what about drawings? Is there any scientifical basis for that kind of analysis?
A friend of mine had his personality analyzed and it couldn't possibly more different than his real-self: he was judged as "cold". What??? He is the dictionary definition of "blood boiling"!!! And in the context with which it was made, it might have serious real-life consequences for him.
I can't find anything over skepdic, though I'm afraid I might not be looking up with the right expression. Is there even a name for that?
So, are those interpretations legitimate, and if so, where can I find a serious approach to it?
