Multidimensional character test

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The multi-dimensional drawing test (MDZT) is a projective test procedure that was developed by the psychiatrist René Bloch .

In the multi-dimensional drawing test , the test person makes 30 drawings every minute within 30 minutes of whatever spontaneously occurs to him, without knowing that he will be making 30 drawings before the test begins.

The MDZT is both an association experiment and a projective procedure. The evaluation of the test data under formal and content-related aspects is characterized by simplicity and quantifiability . This enables the examiner to quickly and reliably gain insight into the structure, dynamics and conflicts of the personality to be examined. The method is particularly suitable for answering diagnostic and differential diagnostic questions, as a basis for a therapeutic conversation and for course analysis.

The MDZT was successfully used at the Hungarian Miklós Zrínyi University for National Defense to test the stress resistance of military personnel.
