Test: draw a man and find out what kind of character you have

A very simple and very interesting psychological test, for which all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil.

The task is elementary - any child can do it. Take a standard A4 piece of paper and draw on it conditional person. Using three types geometric shapes: triangles, circles and squares. You can use these elements in any combination, size and proportions, but in total there should be exactly ten of them in your drawing. Ready for a masterpiece? Now read the key and decrypt hidden meaning- and then take a couple more leaves - and go ahead to explore your neighbors!

Reference. Psychogeometry was created by American specialists led by Susan Dellinger, and the psychographic test “ Constructive drawing a person from geometric shapes” was developed by domestic psychologists Libin. And they offer detailed interpretations – enough for a whole book! Pics offers the simplest, shortest and most understandable version of the test.

First, let’s evaluate which figures you have more among the “organs” of a person.

What does triangle mean

As many as three horns – that’s not a sparrow sneezing! A sharp and purposeful figure in all respects. And she tells us (in a loud and confident commanding voice) about perseverance and energy. If a lover of triangles aims his corner at some line and rushes towards it, the only thing that will stop him is an avalanche. In some places, such a comrade is like that avalanche: “Hey, follow me!” - and everyone is already running. And he shines for them. The triangle is always right. If you think he is wrong, try to compete with him. Gored!

What does circle mean

This figure is the most feminine in character. Not in the sense that if a gentleman chose her, then he has a problem with tradition. It’s just that a socially-minded person will always prefer to come to an agreement rather than waving a pitchfork and throwing excrement. She sincerely feels sorry for Mumu, wishes peace in the whole world, and can have a heart-to-heart talk or meditate on the lawn without a creak. “Circles” know how to listen and understand people better than others. The classic representative of the round party is Leopold with his mantra about “let's live together.”

What does square mean?

This structure stands firmly and firmly on the ground. Just like her fan. His logic is impenetrable, his persuasiveness is like that of the textbooks “Native Speech” and “Arithmetic” combined, his willpower is measured in horsepower, his endurance is the envy of rocks. Speaking of horses: he usually plows accordingly too. He has everything on the shelves - both in his head and on the shelves themselves. To unsettle him, you need... well, maybe burst into tears. Emotionality is not his thing, it’s for those around him.

After examining the work, count how many there are in your “portrait”: 1) triangles, 2) circles, 3) squares. Write it down in numbers: for example, two triangles, two circles and six squares - 226. And what does this formula say about you? Yes, a lot!

1 type: organizer (811, 712, 721, 613, 622, 631)

At school and college, you were probably the headman - or at least, you collected contributions from everyone for Sabantui. At work, you are the one who takes responsibility at a critical moment and ultimately takes it to the fullest. In the family there is a mommy or a daddy, and not only in relation to children. Everyone - from a kitten to a grandmother - asks you what is best for them to do. And if someone doesn’t ask, he’s unreasonable, then it’s worse for him!

Type 2: performer (514, 523, 532, 541)

A person who knows how to do his job - with love, with understanding and, most often, on time. Your sense of responsibility is no worse than that of the organizer, but you prefer to be responsible not for everyone, but for yourself. Well, you sometimes doubt: is everything here really already perfect, and is it possible to somehow improve it?

Type 3: dreamer (433, 343, 334)

The same talented one who is talented in everything. And you can draw, and dance, if necessary, and compose a project. By the way, your writing is best. Sometimes, however, the result turns out to be not entirely applicable to reality - but what to do if the reality around you is so imperfect?

Type 4: sympathetic (181, 271, 172, 361, 262, 163)

On your Facebook wall, all the homeless dogs on the planet are looking for salvation, and your vest is ready to accept all the humiliated and insulted. This is called “developed empathy”: you simply don’t understand what it means to “not take things to heart.” And please don’t show you “White Bim” or “Titanic”!

Type 5: subtle nature (451, 352, 154, 253, 154)

Sensitive and fragile soul, it is better not to turn over. Even if they don’t seriously attack you, you still worry: what if they thought the wrong thing? What if deep down you were offended? Yes, and you yourself know how to get offended, get excited and worried - but they, callous people, won’t even notice. However, your moods are changeable, you generally don’t like monotony.

Type 6: independent (442, 424, 244)

But they wouldn’t all come at you with their attitudes and prejudices. You are an artist, you see so! What kind of artist is he? That's right, free! You always have a couple of brilliant ideas in your head, your own point of view and your own rules of life. It is not recommended to criticize you - unless, of course, you value your life and sanity. Because there is nothing!

Type 7: sociable (415, 325, 235, 415)

It's easier for you to say it in words than to write it in a report. Refer to to a stranger? Yes please, no problem. Call on the phone and get the information you need? At least twice. You are a genius of communication and spontaneity itself. Sometimes being sociable takes you to places you never expected to be. Never mind, the tongue will not only get you there, but will also bring you back!

Type 8: self-sufficient (118, 127, 217, 316, 226, 136)

Unlike the previous type, who was wide open to everyone, you don’t particularly like to open up. You even avoid these very open ones: you never know what will come into the minds of these noisy and hectic bees. If someone really needs it, knock on the shell and wipe your feet on the threshold. And in general, you need to take a closer look, dry yourself off - and then... Sometimes, because of this feature, you have to stay and fight with your problems alone. Well, yes, you are strict with others - but you are strict with yourself too!

Want to receive one interesting unread article per day?

This test is ideal for large and fun company and helps to identify some character traits of the subjects. This will require blank sheets papers and pens according to the number of participants. Ask your colleagues to draw a pig without looking or blindfolded with a scarf. Then collect the drawings and hang them so that all test takers can see them. Usually the images of the animal are so funny that they charge you with fun for the whole holiday. After your colleagues have commented on the merits of each drawing, announce the results. You can ask test participants to sign the drawings in advance, if, of course, they want to be recognized.

The pig is depicted at the top of the sheet

This means that the person who drew it is very positive and well-mannered, endowed with a fair amount of optimism. His life credo is that everything must be fair, and if trials come up in life, they must be endured stoically, because a black streak is always replaced by a white one.

The pig is depicted closer to the middle of the sheet

The drawing in the middle of the sheet suggests that the person who depicted him is a realist by nature.

Even as a child, he was not prone to dreams; from an early age he set specific goals for himself and achieved them. Sobriety and calculation - these are the principles he adheres to in life.

The pig is depicted at the bottom of the sheet

Only a pessimist can draw like this. However, despite the fact that he sees the world in gray and black colors, this does not stop him from amusing himself with petty pranks and vulgar jokes in relation to both family and friends, and colleagues.

The depicted pig is looking to the left

This suggests that a person is conservative by nature and always adheres to traditional views on life in everything. He also has an excellent memory for dates.

The depicted pig is looking to the right

The person who drew such a pig is an innovator by nature, constantly striving for something new. Family values not for him. Immersing himself in creativity, he forgets about everything in the world, even about his loved one. And few can come to terms with this.

The depicted pig is looking straight ahead

Belief in evil spirits and straightforwardness in judgment are what distinguishes the one who drew such a pig. The latter quality often interferes with the establishment of friendly contact. The only thing that can be advised to this person is to try to avoid disputes, otherwise you can make many enemies.

The pig is depicted with many details

An analytical mind, caution and suspicion - this is what characterizes a person who tried to portray a pig as accurately as possible. It is best for such an artist to work in the security service, where he can express himself to the fullest.

The pig is not fully depicted

This means that the person who painted it is very emotional, naive and fond of risk. He is best at work that involves creativity, such as writing advertising texts.

The pig shown has less than 4 legs

A person who depicts a pig without even one leg is very dangerous. In his head he hatches insidious plans, which, fortunately, are not allowed to come true due to his timid nature and lack of willpower.

The pig is depicted with 4 legs

This means that the person who drew it is firm in his views, very reliable and stands on his own two feet. You can hide behind it, like behind a stone wall.

The pig is depicted with ears

Presence of ears - good sign. This indicates that the person knows how to listen. And how well he does this is indicated by the size of his ears: the larger they are, the better.

The pig is depicted with a tail

The presence of a tail indicates the ability to love. Size, just like with ears, matters.

This simple, but fun, and most importantly psychologically truthful test always evokes a lot of emotions. Give all participants a piece of blank paper and a pencil and give them the task of drawing a house. A few strokes will be enough to judge the character of a person. At the end of the test, collect the sheets of drawings and announce the results.

City house

The person who painted the multi-story building has a very complex character. Most likely, he is characterized by isolation and a tendency to focus on his own problems.

Low house

Rest, peace, harmony and pleasant memories - this is what the person who painted the low house needs.

The fatigue accumulated over years of hard work makes itself felt, therefore, in order not to undermine your own health, it is better to go on vacation for at least 2-3 weeks.

Lock

Complete frivolity, frivolity and childishness distinguish the person who painted the castle.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, especially for the fairer sex.

The main thing is not to take on the burden of responsibility in the form of a family or a responsible post, otherwise you may not be able to cope with your responsibilities.

Spacious village house

Such a drawing means that its author has an urgent need to deal with the housing issue, for example, buying new apartment or at home. For bachelors and childless people, such a drawing should speak of a hidden need for love and a home, where a large and friendly family gathers.

Big house behind high fence

You can judge a person who painted a house with a high fence by the latter: the more inaccessible the fence, the more withdrawn the character. If the house is surrounded by a fence of picturesque bushes, this indicates gullibility and sociability.

To pass this test you will also need blank sheets of paper and pencils, 12 which must be distributed before the assignment is announced. Draw a square, triangle, rectangle, circle and zigzag on the poster in advance and attach it to the wall so that everyone present can see it.

Invite participants to choose and draw the figure with which they associate themselves, or the figure that first caught their eye. After this, assign the task to draw the remaining shapes in order of personal preference. Explain to those gathered that the figure chosen first characterizes the dominant features of a person, the characteristics of his behavior, while the rest complement the image, making it multifaceted and complex. You can either read the characteristics given below to the audience, or print them out on a piece of paper in advance and distribute them after passing the test.

Square

If a square is in first place, this means that the person is by nature an incorrigible workaholic. Extraordinary perseverance and diligence, an ineradicable need to bring any task to the end - these are the main qualities of the Square. Methodicality, patience, attention to detail, love of order and excellent memory allow him to become an excellent specialist in his field.

The ideal of the Square is a planned, organized and predictable life. He does not like disruptions to the usual course of things, because in this case everything will have to be calculated and ordered anew.

Such qualities are very useful in work, but they interfere personal life, so the Square is usually very lonely. Family happiness is guaranteed to him if on his own life path he will meet the same person obsessed with work and order.

Triangle

The triangle is a symbol of leadership. And most Triangles feel this at the subconscious level. True representatives of this figure have the ability to focus on main goal, which they are helped to achieve by such qualities as willpower, a penchant for analytical analysis, energy, self-confidence and self-righteousness, as well as ambition and the ability to grasp everything on the fly.

The life of Triangles is an eternal struggle and competition for first place and the right to decide everything for everyone themselves, both at work and in their personal lives. They don't like to admit their mistakes and change. decisions made. Their categoricalness sometimes borders on cruelty, which, naturally, cannot but affect relationships with others.

Rectangle

This figure, chosen as the main one, symbolizes a state of constant change. A rectangle is a person who is always dissatisfied with the way he lives now, so he is always busy looking for a better life. Its the most character traits– inconsistency and unpredictability of behavior. Despite this, Rectangles are not alone. Courage, curiosity, keen interest in everything that surrounds them and gullibility attract people to them. Many take advantage of their naivety and manipulate them for their own interests.

Circle

The circle symbolizes harmony. The one who chooses him as the main figure values ​​him most in life good relations with people. The circle is a philanthropist, thanks to which any work team becomes a friendly team, and a family becomes a harmonious union. It is distinguished by the ability to hear and listen, high sensitivity and the ability to empathize. In addition, he has a great understanding of people and accurately recognizes a hypocrite and a liar.

There is nothing more difficult for the Circle than to take part in an interpersonal conflict. For him bad world better than a good quarrel, so he strives with all his might to improve relationships in the team. Being a born psychologist, the Circle is a poor organizer, so it is better for him to work in a team with Squares and Triangles.

Zigzag

This figure differs from the others in its open form and symbolizes creativity, creativity, dissent, expressiveness and eccentricity. People who choose it are characterized by intuitiveness, creative thinking, the ability to see beauty in the ordinary. Zigzags are unsurpassed aesthetes and idealists. They need complete freedom in their work, but under the condition of unspoken control, since they often quickly lose interest in the subject under study and sometimes do not finish the job.

The impracticality and naivety of Zigzags sometimes irritate those around them, but their wit, cheerful disposition and ease of communication compensate for these shortcomings.

Many of us, during boring lectures or meetings, lost in thought or simply having nothing to do, begin to draw different patterns on a piece of paper. If this happens to your colleagues, try to collect a collection of such drawings so that you can decipher them later in the presence of the whole team. Everyone will be interested to know what their scribbles say.

Spirals, circles, wavy lines

A person who draws spirals, circles and wavy lines is not interested in other people's problems. All his thoughts are focused exclusively on his own emotional experiences. Perhaps in this moment he is experiencing a crisis, so others should not pay attention to him or be offended, even if he has gone too far with his egocentrism. Some time will pass, he will realize his mistake and apologize.

Flowers, sun, garlands

Some may think that flowers, the sun, all kinds of garlands are a sign Have a good mood. However, this is not the case. The person who draws them suffers from a lack of communication, dreams of true friendship, as well as attention from the opposite sex. He just needs to be surrounded with care and tenderness, and then everything will work out in his life.

Grids

The person drawing the grids, for some reason unknown to those around him, experiences a feeling of awkwardness. Having a soft and compliant character, he often tends to swallow resentment and hide irritation. If things continue like this, a mental crisis awaits him. The task of those around you is to prevent this from happening.

Intertwining Hearts

Drawings reminiscent of wallpaper patterns

Such patterns indicate that a person is experiencing great boredom. Perhaps he is tired of sitting in an endless meeting or enduring a long telephone conversation, or maybe he is tired of the lifestyle that he is forced to lead Lately, but have not yet found another way for myself.

Crosses

Something is clearly bothering the person. Most likely, this is a feeling of guilt that arose as a result telephone conversation. However, worries and worries are in vain. Maybe there is a share of his fault in what happened, but there is no need to put everything on your shoulders.

Various little people

Little men express a person’s desire to evade his responsibilities. Perhaps he lacks the moral support to accomplish what is assigned to him.

Triangles, squares and other geometric shapes

Such figures are evidence that a person has clear goals and strong beliefs. It is difficult to lead him astray. He will try by all means to achieve what he has planned. You can entrust him with any complex task and not be afraid of failure to complete it.

Honeycomb of bees

Harmony and beauty, calm and tranquility - this is what a person who draws a honeycomb strives for. It’s good to be around him, as he radiates kindness and warmth. In addition, he has a need to constantly take care of someone.

Chess fields

A person drawing chessboards is most likely tormented by hidden complexes and a feeling of worthlessness. But his experiences are groundless and far-fetched, since those around him respect him, value him as an excellent specialist in his field and good friend, so you shouldn’t hide from everyone in a shell, but you need to live a normal and fulfilling life.

Intertwined circles

Intertwined circles indicate a desire to have a stable relationship with the opposite sex. In addition, they can indicate that a person wants to be in the thick of things and participate in all public affairs. With his enthusiasm he can move mountains.

This test allows you to identify the characteristics of a person’s character, his inclinations and preferences. Hand out blank sheets of paper to those who want to take it and simple pencils(a felt-tip pen or pen is not suitable) and offer to draw a non-existent animal and come up with a non-existent name for it. Then collect the pictures and describe them using the following description.

The placement of the drawing in the center of the sheet is the norm and indicates a harmonious personality. Deviations from the center indicate the presence of certain qualities.

The location of the animal is closer to the upper edge of the sheet

This suggests that this person:

A high self-evaluation;

Dissatisfaction with one's position in society;

Lack of recognition from others;

Desire to advance up the career ladder;

Tendency to self-affirmation.

The location of the animal at the bottom of the sheet

This indicates:

Self-doubt;

Low self-esteem;

Depression;

Indecisiveness;

Lack of interest in one's position in society;

Lack of desire for self-affirmation.

Head turned to the right

This indicates that a person has such qualities as:

Activity;

The desire to achieve set goals;

The desire for self-realization.

Head facing left

This person has:

Increased reflection;

Tendency to think;

Lack of desire for activity;

Indecisiveness;

Fear of active actions.

The head is drawn straight

A person who depicts this animal in this way is characterized by:

Egocentrism;

Focus on your own experiences and problems.

As a rule, sensory organs are drawn on the head: ears, mouth and eyes.

Ears are an indication of a person’s interest in the information he receives, as well as the importance of the opinions of the people around him about him.

The mouth is an indication of a number of signs. The image of a slightly open mouth with tongue but no lips indicates talkativeness. The same mouth, but with drawn lips, speaks of sensuality. An open and drawn mouth without a tongue and pronounced lips is considered a sign of mistrust, fears and frequent concerns about something. A mouth with drawn teeth is nothing more than verbal aggression in response to condemnation and reproach, protection from criticism. The rounded shape of the drawn mouth in the drawing of a child or teenager betrays a feeling of anxiety and timidity.

Eyes have a special meaning. The presence of fear in a person’s soul is revealed by eyes with a careful drawing of the iris. Eyelashes indicate a hysterical and demonstrative behavior, a person’s desire for recognition by others, their admiration for him external beauty and the way you dress.

Head size also matters. If it looks larger than the body of an animal, this indicates that the person values ​​intelligence and the ability to make rational decisions in himself and others.

The presence of horns and other details on the head, especially in combination with bristles, claws and

needles) is a sign of aggression towards others.

Feathers are a clear tendency towards a demonstrative type of behavior, self-justification and self-decoration.

Hair on the head or mane indicates sensuality, sexuality and emphasizing one's masculinity or femininity.

When interpreting details of a design such as legs, paws or a pedestal, on which an animal is often depicted, great importance has their size in relation to the entire figure.

Large paws, legs and pedestal

This talks about:

The desire to think through decisions;

Thoroughness in everything;

Rationalism;

Reliance in drawing conclusions on verified information.

Small paws, legs and pedestal or lack thereof

A person who depicts these details in this way or who does not draw them at all is characterized by:

Superficiality of judgments;

Frivolity;

Unfounded judgments;

Impulsivity in decision making.

The nature of the connection of the paws or legs with the body is also important. The one-pointedness and uniformity of the shape of the paws or legs indicate the banality of the decisions made and the standardization of thinking. Conversely, the variety of shapes and positions of the limbs testifies to the originality of judgment, the originality of attitudes, independence and the desire for creative self-expression.

Such details can be purely functional (wings, tentacles, additional limbs or parts of the shell) or decorative in nature (bows, feathers, curls, flowers, etc.).

Functional details

Their presence in the figure indicates that such a person has:

Ability to understand various areas of knowledge and activity;

Tendency to dictate;

Self confidence;

Curiosity;

Active life position;

The desire to win your place in the sun;

Passion;

Courage.

Decorating details

They indicate such personality characteristics as:

Tendency to shock;

mannerism;

Dependence on the opinions of others.

By the tail you can judge a person’s attitude towards himself, his decisions, behavior and words. In this case, you need to pay attention to which direction this detail of the drawing is turned.

Tail turned to the right

The tail turned to the right expresses the attitude towards one’s actions. If it is directed upward, this means that the author of the drawing is satisfied with his behavior and does not allow criticism of himself. If the tail is lowered, then this indicates low self-esteem. If it is depicted neither raised nor lowered, this indicates an objective attitude towards oneself

Tail turned to the left

The tail turned to the left can suggest a person’s attitude towards his thoughts and speeches. The positive or negative coloration of this relationship also depends on the vertical position of the tail.

When analyzing a non-existent animal, its contours (the absence or presence of spines, shields, needles, shells, etc.), as well as the quality of drawing the contours, are also important. Numerous protrusions (especially sharp corners) and careful drawing of the contours indicate the presence of aggression towards others, as well as the fact that a person feels a threat from society and subconsciously seeks to protect himself from danger.

The so-called dirty contours of the figure indicate that the author of the drawing is in fear and anxiety. And doubling contour line, shields and all kinds of barriers suggest that in the soul of such an “artist” there is a place of suspicion and fears about something.

It is worth paying attention to the direction of the protrusions: those directed upward (upper contour) mean protection from superiors or elders; those directed downward (lower contour) mean from disrespect from subordinates, their ridicule and condemnation; those directed to the sides (side contours) ) – readiness to defend in any situation. This is also indicated by details such as shields depicted inside the main outline, that is, on the body of the animal. Moreover, those located on the right indicate a desire to protect and defend one’s activities, and those located on the left indicate a desire to protect one’s beliefs and thoughts.

The number of details depicted (in addition to the most necessary ones, which include the head, paws, tail and body) indicates the level of vital energy in a person. The more there are, the higher it is. The absence of additional elements may indicate the presence of chronic diseases, especially in combination with a poorly drawn, cobweb-like outline

A bold contour made with strong pressure, in the absence additional details is a sign of anxiety. An element of the drawing made in this way will tell you what it is attached to.

The character of the line must be assessed according to the following criteria

Line dubbing;

Negligence;

Inaccurate connections;

Sections of a contour made up of lines overlapping each other;

Sketching the details of the drawing;

Deviation of the line from the vertical axis;

Unidirectional lines;

Fragmentation of shapes and lines;

Ragged and unfinished drawing.

All depicted animals can be divided into 3 conditional groups: threatening animals, threatened and neutral. The animal itself demonstrates an attitude towards its own person, gives an idea of ​​a person’s position in the world and his identification of himself by significance (for example, with a lion or a bug).

A non-existent animal is psychological picture author of the drawing. The characterization can begin with the position of the animal: does it stand on 4 or more legs or is it upright, is it covered with fur or dressed in human clothes, does it look like a person in some way? in separate parts of his appearance. The last two signs indicate the emotional immaturity and infantilism of the author of the drawing. Moreover, the greater the similarity between an animal and a person, the more pronounced these qualities are.

How aggressive a person is can be judged by the number, nature and location of the corners in the picture. These are direct symbols of aggression (claws, beaks, needles and teeth), which were discussed above.

You should not ignore symbols associated with sex (udders, nipples, breasts, etc.), which will tell about a person’s attitude towards his own and the opposite sex, as well as his fixation on the problem of sex.

The presence of a circle figure in the drawing (especially one not sketched in pencil) speaks of a person’s secrecy and isolation, his reluctance to give information about himself to others.

A special case is an image of an animal with mechanical parts, which can be in the form of a pedestal, tripod, tank or tractor tracks, screws, propellers, antennas, keys, lamps, handles, etc. Such drawings are most often observed in mentally ill people.

About absence creativity can be judged by the similarity of a non-existent animal to an existing one (for example, a cat with flippers, a fish with a snout, a pig with wings, etc.). The larger it is, the creative potential less.

The most interesting thing about this test is the name of a non-existent animal. It is often a rational combination of parts of a word (elephant fly, pig cat, etc.) or a word formed with the help of Latin, book-scientific suffixes and endings (turla-metius, etc.). The first option indicates such a trait as rationalism, the second - the demonstrativeness of one’s own knowledge and erudition.

Sometimes an animal is given a sound name without any thought (for example, lulula, kalushara, bukatupa, etc.), meaning a frivolous attitude towards everything, an inability to recognize a danger signal, and irrationality of thinking.

Ironic and humorous names (gupochurka, tazoland, etc.) indicate a condescending attitude towards people. Names with repeating elements (zi-zi, boom-boom, etc.) indicate infantility.

The dreamer and irrepressible dreamer are given away by overly long names like bramkamdun-samosis.

This test is for quick wits and innovative thinking. To conduct it, you will need to prepare several posters that depict the following figures.

Test participants need to guess what is shown on the posters. To do this, they will need to be given blank sheets of paper and pens. Whoever writes the answers on his piece of paper the fastest wins. Of course, provided that the answers are correct.

1. A bear climbing down from a tree.

2. Mexican in a sombrero.

3. The dwarf plays the trombone in a telephone booth.

4. Pencil.

5. Sandwich with potatoes.

6. Polar bear on snow.

7. Train in the tunnel.

8. Border guards with shepherd dogs sit in ambush.

The art of interpreting drawing tests requires familiarity with big amount different options completing tasks.
To successfully carry out psychological diagnostics According to Russian methods, it is not enough to know the meaning of certain test indicators. It is also necessary to master the general logic of analysis, which allows us to consider these indicators in their relationships. Otherwise, instead of a complete picture, we will get a haphazard set psychological characteristics. For example, evaluation criteria are given such as: “Eyes bulging - rudeness, callousness... Eyebrows sparse, short - contempt, sophistication.” However, the indicators taken into account when interpreting drawing tests are not unambiguous. Thus, bulging eyes can appear in a drawing not only as a result of rudeness or callousness, but also as a symptom of fear or as a manifestation of a suspicious attitude towards others. Very often one and the same sign can be interpreted by two, three or four different ways depending on what other signs it is combined with.
