Standardization of the Pigem's Test in the context of Transactional Analysis: first results

This article is an approach to a projective test, the Pigem's test, and the authors have worked with a view to its standardization, using the Transacional Analysis as theoretical guideline. With this aim, they conducted a research, having 552-university students as a sample. A colective form of the test was applied to the subjects. The main findings were: The order of the choices and rejections was not the same found by Ocampo, a scholar specialized in the Pigem's Test. It is suggested an enlargement of the number of questions, to discriminate between lifeless being, natural force/natural phenomenon and abstraction. The more frequent choices were: Bird; Tree; Star and Flower; the more frequent rejections were: Stone; Grass and Mouse (the rodent); these answers were considered vulgar ones; The reasons more often mentioned for the choices were: Freedom; Esthetic Impact; Utility/Reparation; To be Admired/To Fascinate and Power/Control; the reasons more often mentioned for the rejections were: Aggresiveness; Destruction; Damage; Unpleasant Sensations; Unpleasant Feelings; Submission and Filthiness. The authors produced a first interpretation of the test, in the terms of Transactional Analysis.
