Some still stand up for the Lüscher color test as providing high accuracy in a non-verbal test involving as few as eight colors, especially in children even though the majority of the scientific community puts it high on discredited tests lists. A 1984 comparison of the Lüscher color test and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) found little agreement between the two tests, prompting the authors to urge cautious use of the former. It lacks construct validity and is considered as example of the Barnum effect, where an ostensible personality analysis (actually consisting of vague generalities applicable to the majority of people) is reported to be accurate by subjects who had completed a personality test before reviewing their "results". The test ranks high on a published list of discredited procedures in psychology. It also offers additional information for verbal and homeopathic therapy. The results of the Lüscher color diagnostic contain indications pertaining to personal assessment and special, professional recommendations as to how psychological stress and the resulting physical symptoms can be avoided. Nothingness, renunciation, surrender or relinquishmentĪfter subjects placed the cards in order from most liked to least liked, they were asked to evaluate the extent to which their personalities matched the descriptive statements formed by Lüscher of each color.

In order to measure this, he conducted a test in which subjects were shown 8 different colored cards and asked to place them in order of preference. Therefore, subjects who select identical color combinations have similar personalities. Lüscher believed that personality traits could be identified based on one's choice of color.
