Result & Interpretation
The participant displayed a range of emotionally resonant and socially adaptive responses.
The reaction times were mostly within the average range (1.2 to 2.5 seconds), with longer
latencies observed for words like Failure, Death, Fear, and Sadness.
• Emotional Associations: Responses such as Depression for Failure, Loneliness for
Sadness, and Dark for Fear may indicate underlying concerns or negative experiences
related to these themes.
• Positive Cognitions: Words like Family for Happiness, Trust for Love, and Loyalty for
Friendship reflect strong emotional bonds and healthy interpersonal values.
• Self-Perception & Future Orientation: The word Uncertain for Future and slightly
delayed reaction could indicate anxiety or ambiguity about upcoming life events.
• Value Orientation: Quick associations like Truth for Honesty and Choice for Freedom
show clarity and strength in personal values.
Overall Interpretation:
The participant shows a balanced psychological profile, with positive social values, emotional
depth, and some underlying anxieties related to failure and uncertainty. Further exploration
could include projective tests or counseling-based discussions if these associations reflect
ongoing stressors.
