Examining the Lüscher Color Test. 1994

Department of Psychology and Human Ecology, Cameron University, Lawton, OK 73505-6377.

98 subjects rated the 8 colored cards from the Lüscher Color Test from their most to least preferred colors. Lüscher claimed subjects who select identical color combinations have similar personalities. Statements were formed from Lüscher's descriptors of personalities while ensuring that the social desirability of the statements was equal. Subjects were asked to state the extent to which their personalities matched the descriptive statements. Lüscher suggested that people who favor red and yellow are more extraverted than those who prefer blue and green, but the data did not support Lüscher's predictions. Color preference was not related to self-descriptions when social desirability was controlled. Moreover, people favoring green and blue were not more introverted than those favoring red or yellow.
