The Szondi test: theory and practice

The Szondi test was developed by Lipót Szondi, a Hungarian psychiatrist in the 1930's. The first part of the study deals with the theoretical background of the Szondi test, and more precisely with the conception of familial unconscious, genotropism and drive-system. Next the content of the Szondi test will be introduced, along with its administration and possible methods for interpreting the test. An overview of former reliability and validity studies of the Szondi test is also given. Finally, application areas of the test are demonstrated: with particular reference to text-analyses and cross-cultural comparative studies.
