Views:

A black-and-white picture was displayed on the projection screen. Next to a staircase in a western-style house, there was a woman in a long skirt standing there with a blank expression on her face.

"Captain Gu, you can start to interpret this picture."

It was still the empty and simple review room, and Gu Jun was still sitting on the chair and looking at the projection screen.

But it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the previous Rorschach inkblot test had ended for more than half an hour.

It took a total of more than two hours to do it. In addition to the ten regular pictures and the ten regular pictures inside the Tianji Bureau, there were also ten specially designed pictures.

Gu Jun didn't calculate what kind of score he would get, he just cooperated with the test all the time, but after measuring the thirty pictures, nine out of ten of the things he saw could involve dark things. There is no doubt that there is a lot of darkness accumulated in his heart, but it is difficult to avoid accumulation in his kind of work. This does not mean that he has been swallowed by darkness, but is shrouded in shadow.

After the Rorschach test, he took a ten-minute break, went to the bathroom, and returned for the next test.

The Thematic Apperception Test, a projective personality test developed back in the 1930s by Citigroup Harvard psychologists Henry Murray and Christiana Morgan. It showed subjects a series of ambiguous pictures that evoked negative emotions, and subjects were asked to tell a story about each picture.

Stories should include the following:

cause of the incident

what is happening now

characters' feelings and thoughts

what's the end of the story

Like other psychological tests, the reliability and validity of the thematic apperception test are controversial, but it also has a complex scoring system, ranging from the duration and frequency of telling to the length, completeness, complexity, content of the story. and other aspects to review and analyze, and even subdivide each sentence spoken by the subjects.

However, because this scoring system is very time-consuming to implement, it has not been widely used.

Therefore, those experienced psychologists will rely on their clinical intuition to draw some conclusions.

But in this current test, every sentence Gu Jun said to every picture and every story will be completely recorded and analyzed and evaluated in detail.

The full version of the Thematic Apperception Test contains 32 pictures showing male figures, showing women, both male and female, gender ambiguous, adults, children, and no human figures, with a card is completely blank.

Although the cards were originally designed to cover all groups, later any card could be used for any participant.

The founder Murray suggested using 20 cards for a test, but the average practitioner only selects 8-12 cards.

Gu Jun didn't know how many pictures he had to make, it was probably all or more. He also knew all the regular 32 picture cards very well, but this test has been done for more than half an hour, and he has made 7 pictures. Didn't see any familiar pictures, these seem to be all new designs.

But he was a little puzzled. A mature set of psychological tests was matured from the initial design only after a long period of time and a large amount of clinical data. Each old picture relies on a large number of cases to show the mechanism of existence, and the uncertainty brought by the new picture cannot be clarified all at once.

This time, there is such a big battle for his review, if you want to test it clearly, it is not appropriate to directly test something new.

Originally, there was no time limit for the subject to tell the story, because the duration is also a scoring consideration, but now he only has 5 minutes to interpret each picture.

A change in the scoring mechanism will cause great changes in the entire system.

Now it's not just a thematic apperception test, it's a Rorschach test, there's something else...

Unless these are not completely new, unless... the Bureau of Mysteries is also involved.

Gu Jun naturally has an understanding of the psychology and psychiatry of the Mysterious World, but he doesn't fully understand those involved in the secret techniques of the Mysterious Bureau. Even with the Tianxuan General Administration, the technical exchanges between the Tianji Bureau and the Mysterious Bureau are not shared directly, far from it.

Gu Jun was inexplicably confused. If the organization really brought in the Mystery Bureau to interrogate him, then how much trust they have in him...

It's not just whether you believe in the free medical plan for all people in the two worlds, but whether you believe in him...

"Captain Gu?" Zhai Minghui over there asked again, "You still have 4 minutes." Another judge on the right picked up a water glass and took a sip of water.

After each test, it is a kind of mental test for the subjects, but it is also not easy for the reviewers.

Even if these are the most experienced judges, they are facing people who are called heroes of heaven.

"Well..." Gu Jun replied, looking at the expressionless woman in the picture, the time limit may be to reduce his disguise, but he didn't intend to pretend at all, and said: "This woman is waiting for her husband When I got home, it was raining heavily outside, it was very dark, and there was a lot of thunder... "

As he said this, in his eyes, the picture seemed to come alive, and the rumbling thunder seemed to be in his ears.

"It's past seven o'clock in the evening, and the rain is getting heavier, but her husband hasn't come back yet, and her husband usually returns home on time at six o'clock... At that time, there were no mobile phones or telephones, so she couldn't immediately Contacting her husband, she became a little concerned.

The woman began to pray to the gods she believed in, that nothing would happen to her husband.

They have just been married for less than a year, love each other, life is very sweet, they are planning to have a child, many plans have been made.

Not long after the woman finished praying, the doorbell rang suddenly, and she couldn't wait to run over to open the door. Is it her husband? she thinks.

She opened the door…”

Having said that, Gu Jun paused, and slowly took a deep breath.

There are two kinds of story trends in my heart, one is the original idea from the bottom of my heart, and the other is the kind modification of consciousness.

In the end, he chose the more intense surge, faithful to the test, and said: "There is nothing on the porch, the woman only saw the storm outside, and she didn't know if she heard it wrong just now, or if the doorbell was blown by the wind." The blown debris rang.

The storm continued until the next morning, and her husband did not come home until dawn.

The woman saw her husband again, that afternoon at the coroner's room at the local police station.

Her husband died. On the way home last night, her husband was hit by a big tree that was overturned by the storm. He died on the spot, bloody and bloody. "
