Piggy black feet test
The Schweinchen-Schwarzfuß-Test (also called SF-Test) is a projective test procedure for psychodiagnostics of the child, developed by Louis Corman . The test is similar to the TAT ( Thematic Apperception Test ) or the Columbus Test and was first published in 1961 . The German version appeared in 1977. The black foot test consists of a test folder with 18 picture cards.
First, the child is shown the opening picture. The question is: “Who is that?” You can see a boar (corresponds to the father ), a sow (corresponds to the mother ), two white pigs ( siblings ) and the hero of the test, Piggy Schwarzfuß (SF). SF experiences many adventures on the farm. The children can choose their favorite pictures and tell a story. The test can also be used in adults. It is said here that it is a story for children for adults to tell.
The story told is noted and the test persons are asked to sort their favorite pictures one after the other. Then the least popular images have to be sorted. Finally, you will be asked for identification . So: "Who do you want to be in the picture?"
Conflict situations are shown on each image of the test; possible defense mechanisms are diagnostically interesting .
The reliability and validity of the projective methods are often insufficient. Nevertheless, these “free” test procedures, interpreted with care, allow an insight into unconscious thought processes.
