Max Lüscher (born 9 September 1923, Basel, Switzerland) is a Swiss psychotherapist. He's known for inventing the Luscher colour test, a tool for measuring the person's psychophysical state based on his or her colour preferences. Besides research, teaching and practicing psychotherapy in Basel, Lüscher worked for international companies, amongst other things giving colour advice. His book "The Lüscher Test" has been translated into more than 30 languages.
The area of prime importance to the Lüscher research is the effect of colours on humans with regard to the psychological social aspects as well as the psychology of colours and advice for industry and firms.
The Lüscher colour test
The Lüscher colour test is a psychological test invented by Dr. Max Lüscher in Basel, Switzerland. Max Lüscher believed that sensory perception of colour is objective and universally shared by all, but that colour are subjective, and that this distinction allows subjective states to be objectively measured by using test colours.
Lüscher believed that because the colour selections are guided in an unconscious manner, they reveal the person as they really are, not as they perceive themselves or would like to be perceived.
The results of the Lüscher-Colour-Diagnostic contain indications pertaining to personal assessment and special, professional recommendations as to how psychological stress and the resulting physical symptoms can be avoided. It also offers additional information for verbal and homeopathic therapy.
Proponents of the test claim this method allows a rapid and deep personality analysis from only this colour ranking information.
The test-colours from the Lüscher Colour-Diagnosis are selected according to the same category. Therefore the patient’s choice of colour shows the state of their psychosomatic and emotional status and how they feel about themselves. It is further one of many well known test-diagnostic proceedings by testing children on the area of educational psychology.
Lüscher relates to his four fundamental colours to the following fundamental categories:
Red: Self confidence.
Activity, drive and the reaction to challenges.
"How I react to challenges"
Blue: Contentment.
Feeling of belonging, the inner connection and the relationship to one’s partner.
"How I feel towards a person that is close to me"
Yellow: Development.
Attitude of anticipation, attitude towards future development and towards new encounters.
"What I expect for the future"
Green: Self-respect.
Inner control of willpower and the capacity to enjoy.
"The way I want to be"
