Psychological methods in education find practical application and have proven their effectiveness. For example, when discussing the issue of differentiating students in terms of special abilities, mental development, school maturity, health, etc.
School education is aimed at transferring knowledge and skills, and at the same time, children develop the ability to self-control, personal and intellectual reflection, planning and analysis. To determine the child's readiness for new challenges, the diagnosis of his mental development helps.
Basically, the heuristic method is a trial and error method. Thanks to heuristic cognition, a person has learned to solve problems quickly and efficiently, although this does not exclude errors. Heuristics help you choose a strategy when there is not enough information for the only correct answer.
Even Socrates formulated the idea that knowledge of the external world cannot be complete without awareness of oneself. On this basis, the thinker called self-knowledge the meaning of philosophy. A person cognizes and evaluates himself as a thinking, feeling and acting subject.
The area of research in philosophy is almost limitless, ancient science embraces humanity as a whole and a person striving for knowledge. The sphere of interest of psychology is much narrower - the mechanisms and patterns of human mental activity. At the same time, the sciences are closely related.
Psychology, like other sciences, arose in connection with the real needs of people in knowing the world and themselves. Literally translated, psychologie is the doctrine of the soul. This science is called paradoxical, since many mental phenomena are accessible to direct perception.
The laws of logic in an academic presentation may seem complex and formal, but every person who is not alien to common sense guides them in reasoning. It is proved that in the process of socialization, thinking becomes logical, but it always retains illogical components.
Conflict situations sometimes happen even among the most peaceful and non-aggressive people, and the art of getting out of them with minimal losses is called conflictology. This branch of psychology studies conflicts in their development - from the birth of disagreements to the exit from a tense situation.
A clinical psychologist assesses the state of a person's mental health, develops and conducts correction and psychotherapy. The sections of clinical psychology include pathopsychology, neuropsychology, psychosomatics, psychocorrection and psychotherapy.
Along with progress, it became necessary to solve the psychological problems of interaction between man and technology. Engineering psychology arose in the middle of the last century to study the processes of processing information, making quick decisions, and assessing management errors.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK:
Galina Ilya Yurievich! Thank you very much for your sessions, in which I was lucky to take part. Thanks to them, I became more confident in many issues and situations that previously caused anxiety and concern. You taught me how to deal with this in a short amount of time. It's a pleasure to deal with a high-level professional!
Anna Ilya Yurievich, it is difficult to find words to express my gratitude to you for your help. I remembered in what state and with what thoughts I met the last year, 2017. I remember those feelings of bitterness, anxiety that did not come out of me under any circumstances. Finally, I left this desire for self-destruction and now I can breathe differently. Thank you!
Tatyana Thank you, Ilya Yurievich, for the advice. Indeed, it allowed me to look at my life situation from a different angle. Thanks again!
Vladimir Thank you very much for your advice! Indeed, I noticed that memories pop up at a time when I was in a bad mood or irritable, but I could not understand that this was a defense mechanism. At his next appearance, I will try to talk about what exactly causes irritation, instead of plunging into memories.
Daria Thank you very much for your help! I am very glad you helped me understand myself and showed me a new way to improve my life!

Now let's check the key.
Key to the test
We will determine by several factors: extraversion - introversion, the level of neuroticism and the lie scale. For each match with the answer, 1 point is credited.
Extraversion - introversion
Yes answers: 1, 3, 8, 10, 13, 17, 22, 25, 27, 39, 44, 46, 49, 53, 56.
No answers: 5, 15, 20, 29, 32, 34, 37, 41, 51.
As you can see, some question numbers are missing. It's not a mistake, it should be. Let's check the key to this point. Take a look at the circle (see picture below) - the horizontal line represents the extraversion - introversion scale. The higher the score on this trait, the more extroverted you are and vice versa. The number 12 is the average.
Neuroticism Scale
The scale of neuroticism on the same circle has the designation of stability-instability. Here it is necessary to verify only the answers "yes".
Yes Responses: 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 35, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 50, 52, 55 , 57.
The neuroticism scale helps to determine the resilience of your nervous system. It is located vertically and it is necessary to work with it in the same way as in the previous paragraph.
Lie
The scale of lies is not displayed on the circle, but several questions are specifically highlighted to determine it.
Yes answers: 6, 24, 36.
No answers: 12, 18, 30, 42, 48.
It is worth noting that when answering such psychological tests with answers, you must first of all be extremely honest with yourself. The key to this scale is as simple as possible: if you score more than 4 points on this item, it means that you were insincere in some questions. A mark of 4 and below indicates the norm in the answers.
In some interpretations, there is a division into psychological tests for women and men, since the beautiful half of humanity is more prone to emotionality, which may have little effect on test results.
Explanations for the Eysenck circle
Tests on come to the end with definition of type of our temperament. Take another look at the circle and find the intersection point of your two previous marks. The new (third) point will be located in a quarter, symbolizing the type of your temperament.
sanguine
People of this temperament are considered cheerful. They are often the leaders of the group and lead people, radiating activity and movement. The mood of these people is always positive, it is easy for them to make new acquaintances, they feel comfortable among a new circle of people.
Sanguine people need constant change and novelty. This is a real need, because if you force a sanguine person to do a tedious thing for a long time, his cheerfulness will go out, the person will become lethargic and inactive. Therefore, such people easily move from place to place and make new acquaintances.
phlegmatic
Phlegmatic people are calm people. It is difficult to piss them off and force them to show their emotions. Phlegmatic people control all their actions, they rarely lose sight of something and think over their every step.
It is not so easy to influence a change in the mood of a phlegmatic person due to their composure. But people of this temperament need to try to be more active and not allow excessive immersion in their thoughts, which can lead to a bad mood.
Choleric
Cholerics live in bursts. Their emotions can change at the click of a button, as can the ups and downs of activity. Such people take on any business, but sometimes they cannot complete it due to lack of energy.
Cholerics are emotional and quick-tempered, therefore they can easily quarrel with any person. Such individuals need more control over themselves.
Melancholic
The mental processes of melancholics proceed extremely slowly. It is almost impossible to bring these people out of a state of mental balance. Such a person feels uncomfortable in a large company, in a group their performance decreases. The melancholic is more comfortable working alone.
Such a person is afraid of something new. Melancholics rarely share their experiences and keep everything to themselves.
On this type of temperament you can finish. Your first step in knowing yourself is complete. Consider interesting tests in psychology further.
Luscher test
Psychological tests by colors are widely used by specialists in working not only with children. They are no less informative for assessing adult personalities. This test in psychology is a way to understand your current state of mind. The Luscher questionnaire is based on 8 colors. There are many interpretations of this study, as well as variations of the most interesting test in psychology. But we will focus on a short, but no less accurate version:
- Get a sheet of paper and a pen ready.
- Take a look at the picture (see above). There are 8 colors in front of you. You need to choose the most preferred and pleasing color for you at the moment. Please note that you do not need to correlate the color you choose with your favorite color in clothes, environment, fashion trends, etc. Your choice should be as impartial as possible and not dependent on your personal preferences. You make a choice only on the basis of current desires.
- Next, you need to continue the choice according to the same principle: you choose the most pleasant color for yourself from the remaining ones. The order of choosing colors is written down on paper.
This completes the first stage. But we do not stop there and move on to the second stage:
- Again, use a new piece of paper and a pen.
- It may surprise you, but we repeat the same procedure again. Before you - again 8 colors, and you begin to alternately choose the most pleasant color. You should not try to correlate your previous and current choices - mark the pictures as if you were seeing them for the first time.
We have now completed the psychological testing. Why was it necessary to carry out the same procedure twice? The answer is simple: your first choice (quite often this test is used to assess personality in psychology) is what you want. The second stage reflects the reality, which may differ from your desires. Let's move on to interpretation.
Let's define what each position means:
- The first value you choose determines the means by which you achieve your goal. It doesn't matter if you have any specific intentions at the moment, because we are studying what is in your subconscious right now.
- The second position characterizes the very goal that we are striving for.
- Next, we consider pairs of positions. Numbers 3 and 4 characterize how you feel about the current situation.
- 5th and 6th positions - a display of your neutral attitude towards these colors. In certain situations, these positions can be of considerable importance, since they reflect an action or need that you deliberately put in the background until better times;
- The 7th and 8th numbers are what you have a sharp antipathy for.
Having understood what each number means, you can move on to specific definitions.
Meaning of colors
First of all, we can divide all the colors used into two groups - primary and secondary. The main group includes blue, blue-green, orange-red and light yellow. In a normal state of human consciousness and his peace of mind, the absence of internal conflicts, these colors occupy the first 5 positions.
Additional shades - purple, black, brown, gray. These colors belong to the negative group, which displays hidden or obvious fears, anxiety, dissatisfaction with the situation.
Blue is a symbol of calmness, contentment. Finding it in first place in the initial stage of our test speaks of the person's need for peace and the absence of tension. In the second option, symbolizing reality, the choice of blue is the most favorable outcome. It reflects that at the moment you are pacified mentally.
Blue-green. The color represents confidence and stubbornness. The position of this color indicates that you, to one degree or another, need confidence in yourself and in your environment. If this color is located in the last positions in the second test, this indicates a weakness of the personality and the need for human support.
Orange-red is the color of action, excitement and sometimes aggression. Depending on the location, he speaks of a state of readiness for action and the fight against problems.
Light yellow is the color of fun and sociability. In a duet with blue, it gives the most successful combination.
Psychological color tests will help you create an accurate picture of your current state of mind.
Optimist, Pessimist, Realist
Consider the last, but no less interesting test in general psychology. It will finally allow you to determine who you are - a cheerful optimist, a saddened pessimist, or a wise realist. It is necessary to answer only "yes" or "no" questions:
- Are you interested in the opportunity to travel?
- Do you love learning something new?
- Do you have sleep problems?
- Are you a hospitable person?
- Do you have a tendency to anticipate problems in the future?
- Have your friends achieved more in life than you?
- Love to play sports?
- Does fate often surprise you?
- Are you worried about the current state of the environment?
- Has scientific progress given the planet too many problems?
- Is your profession chosen well?
- How often do you use insurance?
- Are you a mobile person? Is it easy for you to move to another place if they offer you a job you like?
- Do you consider yourself cute?
- Are you worried about the state of your body?
- Are you not embarrassed by being in an unfamiliar team?
- Do you like to be in the center of events?
- Is there friendship without mutual benefit?
- Do you have your own personal notes?
- Everyone builds his own destiny?
After answering 20 fairly simple questions, let's move on to the key.
For each match to the key, we give ourselves 1 point.
Yes answers: 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 13-20.
No answers: 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12.
0-5 points. You are definitely a pessimist. Moreover, you clearly exaggerate your hardships and problems, because life is full of black stripes, but not without white ones, but you see everything in black. Look at life differently - the world is not as gloomy as you think.
6-10 points. You are upset about what is happening. Everything around is not going well, although you continue to fight. Life brings new surprises, and friends cope with them better than you. Yes, you are pessimistic about life, but you have reasons for this. However, you should not be so upset because of small losses and life troubles - you are doing an excellent job and going in the right direction.
11-15 points. Your outlook on life is clear and real. You do not exaggerate sorrows, but you do not get drunk with the joy of victories. You can envy your attitude to life, because you are a realist and look at life with confidence. Keep up the good work and don't give up!
16-18 points. You are an optimist, you see your advantages in any problem and try to turn any situation to your advantage. Adversity does not bypass you, but you know how to treat them correctly, your life shines with colors.
19-20. An optimist like you needs to be found. You do not see problems, the whole world is a solid rainbow for you. But maybe it's worth looking at life without rose-colored glasses? Indeed, sometimes frivolity leads to sad consequences.
Thus, we have completed the personality psychology tests. Of course, three questionnaires are not enough to know the deep world of a person, but you have already embarked on the path of self-knowledge and learned a lot about your character traits and state of mind.
But do not forget that the test in psychology is not a simple magic wand that everyone can use. Only a specialist psychologist can give accurate information. Interesting tests in psychology are just an additional method for studying personality. They give only an actual cut of the studied quality. And many psychological tests-questionnaires stored on the Internet do not reflect reality at all.
