I bought an e-bool that uses the house, sun, tree picture test as a cold reading. I think its cool. Does anyone know a way to get more infor onthe psych version of the test and what it means?
 
I have only tired it once. It didn't work becuase I didn't explain it properly. He thought he was drawing 3 separate pictures instead of one.
 
So I did this in fron of an audience of 15.

I had 5 audience members do drawings prior to the start.

1 woman I depicted her parents were togther with an equal relationship. I told her she had 2 siblings but she had only 1 sibling. I got that she up in the suburbs and best of all I got that she had a masters degree. She told me it was in Math.

1 Man I correctly told him he was from another country. He was from Costa Rica so that was nice hit. I told him his father dominated the household, another hit. I told him he had 1 sibling, turns out he had 11 siblings. It was a miss but I looked at the picure and it made sense.

I think my hit rate was 70%.

And the audience will think your hit rate is 99-100%. No matter who is the boss of a household I believe any guess will score a hit a good amount of the time.

There is an excellent book by Ian Rowland on this subject.

Highly recommended.

Agreed! But it is not, or claim to be, a DIY manual on cold reading.
