The House-Tree-Person Personality Test (Examples Included) 

I am very skeptical about the accuracy of this test

I've had this test conducted on me when i was young and i only recently got hold of the results and old image. It's amazing what professionals can pick up from a simple image.

Roof- intellectual, spiritual Doors windows- social integration Tree- subconscious Branches- contacts with others, ideas thoughts Person- ideal self, communication, imagination Several other aspects Small house- fissatisfaction, level of detail, location- top- dreams and imagination, strokes- over lining- insecurity attitudes while drawing

It is important to know that tests like this, Rorschach, and Word Association, are all known as projective tests. They are not objective, because naturally, that would be impossible; however, they can provide certain data points that can overlap with more objective tests, in order to see what interpretations would be more valid.

All I could think about was how I drew those items when I was a child and learning to draw. I wasn't thinking about my house, my tree, or me.

It is also sometimes used as part of an assessment of brain damage or overall neurological functioning.👍

This... seems to be as useful as the rorschach test, where the drawings don't actually mean much unless a person has a severe dysfunction

That was really interesting. I am a bit surprised at the length of the test (150 minutes), though. I'd have thought it could have been done in 30 minutes quite easily, even by a child. Clearly they're looking for more detailed drawings than I am really capable of executing!

Great video!

I remember when teacher gave us this test to the group within first days of joining university. I were very surprised of reflection and how much can this test can tell about person. It's like telling fortunes but not fake

Everything I draw looks like a potato. This is voodoo.

I drew an abstract almost spider-like person. They were concerned. I just like Picasso…

As an artist, I think my choices are often purely aesthetic. For example, I might draw a barren tree because I want to experiment with the texture of the branches. Then tomorrow, I might draw an apple tree bursting with fruit. What I draw is a look into my artistic sensibilities, but not my "inner self".

I mean, this is all very interesting, but the whole time, I was really distracted by his drawing skills. Impressive

This may be used as a guide, but definitely not the end all marker of personality.

This "test" sounds about as accurate as (insert psudo-science here). I am sure it is accurate for some people but at the same time a broken clock is right twice a day.

"Is used by important authorities in the field" and "has little to no supporting evidence it works" are not two fucking phrases I want to be said about the same thing/

Listening to this video made me believe, that this HTP Test is just as reliable as the Rorschach Test. Meaning, it's not reliable.

The house person. A person who is actually a house made like tree people are made but the body parts are from various trees and include clay people and metal people; etc. also house music. The croaking of the house being like "they sold the house that the person still lives in because mortal Kombat people said they couldn't be a tree person for their school play but they really are making house music from the haunted forests of mortal Kombat games because of a Gundam shell body part connector using slate-crate like it is assembling a house robot to keep the tree combined and alive like there's neurology and movements of balance throughout the body parts. And the shell being like "if they still have their shell, does it look like sektor? Because sektor is just an iron man shell? Or is sektor a house like an ihome ai robot that is an adams family story about it connecting itself together secretly and going to a factory. Tree people business and house business. Regarding how potentially people married Houses and trees and despite how many different houses and trees they technically are, they see them as one combined person... Like, they deserve their own money and things... Shamanism and voodooism and stuffed toys could be the first psychology conversation about breaking the ice because of a house or tree that is frozen being like it's not alive... People don't grow on trees. Tree people are trees and grow on trees. Like making a forest for clones. And making a house for clones because of how a house is like a factory or a plantation -facility. Money tree and lineage; clones aren't mirrors. Mirrors but like clothes for the tree people who are clones made from trees (lignin stuff). Animatronic robot clones made from tree materials. Like, it's not mortal Kombat when they fight, it's living tree Kombat.

Those who don't have a tallent to draw are screwed then. 😂😂😂

That's funny when I was in elementary school I took that test. I drew from an inside perspective of the home. The tree was visible out the window and the person was in a rocking chair. I actually drew the person that was giving me the test because I felt that she was unsecure and she asked me about the person that I told her that they was insecure but everything would work out in the end. Because of her demeanor she wasn't confident in what she was doing. By the way she was a psych student. I would find it interesting what she thought about me.

Wow. That test reminds me of Freud or Jung. I geaa since it was developed in the 1940 those thinkers really influenced professionals of the day.

Very interesting insights. Thank you and God bless you.

Thanks from India. #REET_Aspirant 😊

I took a test in second grade like this.i could read at an advanced level so I guess something was wrong with me.their solution?but me in a reading class with kids learning see spot run.im reading David Copperfield at that time.bullshot.

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

but like, i can't draw so i can't put details on my drawing

My son used to put a little heart in his people

5:00 RU-vid's animation squad has entered the chatroom

I was wondering how it is related to art therapy?

Something about your voice makes me think of Don Herdtzfeldt

Me who's drawing suck: Well I'm fucked

If the 8 year child has no clear concept of to draw a house and she just draw a triangle shaped with no door just 2 windows then what does it means 🤔?

Are you a therapist I need some counselling from you???

Stick figure house, stick figure tree, stick figure person. What does that say? I can't draw.

Anyone else watching after watching that one tiktok because some guy made a video about drawing a hole in his trees? 👀

A family member drew a person with no face... just a circle with hair. What on earth could it mean?

I'd just draw a tree house

How can anything with empirical evidence be said to be effective? If it were effective the data would reflect that which would, in fact, constitute empirical evidence . . .

I drew a mushroom house a out of the world tree and a cat girl

This seems like junk science. You're telling me that if I draw a stickman because I'm bad at drawing, I'm gonna be diagnosed with depression? Or that drawing a big, gnarled old tree without leaves means I'm not very cognitive? Hmmmmm. How were any of these criteria decided upon? Why, for example, do a tree's branches indicate social connections? Is it just the emotions that the therapists tend to read into the drawing? In which case, isn't that an exercise in artistic interpretation on the part of the therapist, more dependant on their mental state than that of the patient? And what I draw at the top of the page is connected to dreams and imagination????? What if I just drew the house at the top, because I write top to bottom and left to right, and "House" come first in the phrase "House-Tree-Person"? What if I drew first what I felt was easiest, or most significant? Thickness of lines indicate high self-esteem, while thin lines indicate insecurity? In general? How can it be indicative of anything other than my confidence in my drawing skills?

Funny thing is, the same people who would utilize this test is also the same type of people who would demonize something such as Tarot 🤣💦

Being lazy means I'm dumb?

Or it could just be a house tree and a person😂😂😂

Lol

Sorry, but this seems like a ridiculous test. Presuming I just drew a random house, person and/or tree, if the psychologist were to start asking questions like "who lives in the house," I would just get irritated at the absurdity of the question and deliberately give entirely unhelpful answers ("no one, that's just a house I drew for this test.") Even if they then said, "no, make it up, use your imagination," as if I didn't get what they wanted, yeah, that's still not gonna work out. And for them to then draw inferences like "the roof represents the family's spiritual life?!" Utter nonsense.

I drew a stickman😑

As I can´t draw sh.t I´d be diagnosed as an alien. Don´t like these kind of tests. Arbitrary from the start till the end.

This test is stupid

I don't think it give accurate info ....

Pseudoscience.

Fake n gay
