4. SELF IMAGES

a] The child very early in life builds up a self image that provides the
VALUE system in terms of which he/she judges and behaves. The child has
his/her OWN value system which only later becomes similar to the adult
value system within which he/she grows up. The socialization process is at
work right from the beginning providing the stimuli for building up his/her
own self image. The self portraits drawn by the child in C and D allow us to
access the self images in a GRAPHIC way and which very informative provided
we know how to interpret them. A normal child will show the followingfeatures:

i. If a boy then the self images will be imitations of Father and if a girl
then that of Mother. This is healthy as one of earliest development related
to self images is sexual differentiation and sexual identity that Freud
studied so extensively. Confusion in sex identity is a fundamental confusion
and ought to be avoided if found.

ii. When the child sees himself HAPPY and CHEERFUL especially in D, rest
assured that everything is okay. The child is mentally healthy and has an
orientation to the future that is positive. He/she will be dynamic and
enthusiastic and under normal circumstances a good learner as well in the
school. There is a POSITIVE IMAGE of himself/herself well implanted and
would unconsciously and judgements and behavior.
b. ] And over and above the positive we have considered there are may be
NEGATIVE IMAGES which deserve immediate action. I following important in
this respect.

i. The self images in C and D may be very small indicating lack of
self-confidence and on the whole to tendency to withdraw and exist
mechanically. There is lack of enthusiasm for living as such, a general
disinterestedness that makes the a poor learner in the school. There is NO
FUTURE ORIENTATION, a goal in life no matter how unrealistic and so forth.
There are a number of factors contributing to this. When the home and other
institutions the child comes into contact with is EXCESSIVELY NEGATIVE, a
child may develop along these lines. Extreme poverty of the home and
isolation from active social interactions with relatives and friends may
also be cause.
ii. Another symptom of negative self-image is the off-center positioning of
the portraits, shifted either to the extreme left or right. This indicates
problems in social adjustment, a tendency to AVOID sociation of whatever
kind. Outwardly it may appear a shyness and reluctance but really a FEAR of
some for interacting with others.

Concluding Remarks.

It is extremely gratifying to note widespread interest in Access Testing
the membership of which is now truly international and cross-cultural. It is
hoped that the descriptions of FPT we have given, though only brief, will
provide enough substance to test their own children or children with whom
they come into contact either as teacher or counselors. It must be mentioned
that there are limits to FPT as well as distinct advantages. In problematic
cases I recommend the use of Baum Test as well. Soon we will begin a series
of articles on this extremely interesting Access Test.
