Psychological methods for schoolchildren 7. The most interesting psychological tests for schoolchildren

Psychological tests for schoolchildren began to be carried out in junior educational institutions relatively recently. At present, it has been proven that such an innovation helps to understand a number of serious issues and solve important problems.

Tests for schoolchildren are traditionally divided into three age categories: tests for junior schoolchildren for middle and high school students. Each of these age groups has its own characteristics. According to the intended purpose, they can be divided into intellectual and personal. The first type helps to understand the features of cognitive processes: thinking, memory, mindfulness. A striking example of such tests is the "School test mental development(SHTUR) ".


It helps to know how effectively absorbed educational material, as well as to understand the presence or absence of certain abilities in the student: mathematical, technical, linguistic. Teachers working in primary school often use so-called "thinking tests" in their work. Younger students are asked to solve a number of problems that clearly show how the child thinks. Very often, psychologists use "visual" tests in their work, where the child must draw something at the request of a specialist.

According to the resulting picture, the psychologist will be able to draw conclusions about the presence or absence of a small person creativity, out-of-the-box thinking. Drawings can tell a lot about the character of the student, about his state of mind. Such tasks very often help to identify "dysfunctional" families. A striking example of such tests are tasks for determining the general level of anxiety, which exist in several versions, including those adapted for elementary grades.


Psychological tests for younger students also help to identify certain problems that a student has when communicating with peers, teachers, and parents. Timely rendered psychological help will allow the child to feel more confident and more effective in confronting emerging difficulties. This kind of testing is important not only for elementary and high school students.

High school students also need to conduct similar surveys, only the proposed tasks will be completely different. Features of character, temperament, behavior - these most important characteristics will help determine any personality test. Choosing a profession for schoolchildren is a very responsible step. And psychological testing will help to figure out which occupation is suitable for a teenager and which one is not suitable.


Experts believe that all high school students should pass tests for "professional incompetence". This will save the teenager from choosing the profession in which he will not be able to achieve the desired results. It is much wiser to choose what is most suitable for the characteristics of character and temperament. In this case, a person has every chance for a brilliant career.

In order to better understand yourself, it is not necessary to visit a psychologist. To get started, you can simply buy psychology tests for schoolchildren with answers that can be purchased at any bookstore. High school students who are tested on the basis of high school should remember the principle of voluntariness. No one can force a person to take a test if they don't want to. The second principle of conducting surveys is the objectivity of their evaluation.


A competent specialist evaluates the result only in accordance with the available methods, and not on the basis of subjective reasoning. And most importantly, testing must be strictly confidential. Only the student himself, his parents and, if necessary, the teacher can get acquainted with its result. Dissemination of such information to any third parties is strictly prohibited.

Test "Are we able to listen correctly"

1 - I never do that;

2 - rarely act;

3 - almost always;

4 - always.

1. Do I give the speaker the opportunity to express his thoughts completely without interrupting?

2. Can I discover hidden meanings in words when talking to people?

3. Am I actively trying to develop the ability to remember what I hear?

4. Do I write down the most important details from the messages I hear?

5. When writing a message, do I concentrate on capturing the main facts and key phrases?

6. Am I repeating to the speaker in my own words the essential details of his message in order to better understand?

7. Do I refrain from stopping the speaker when I find their message boring, uninteresting, or when I personally dislike the speaker?

8. Do I avoid showing hostility or emotional arousal when the speaker's point of view is different from my own?

9. Do I notice when I'm distracted while listening?

10. Am I expressing genuine, sincere interest in what other people are saying?

Calculate your points:

32 or more points - you are the ideal listener;

27-31 points - the listener is above the average level;

22-26 points - need additional training and must consciously practice listening skills;

21 points or less - you perceive many messages in a distorted form, biased, without delving into the meaning.

You can discuss the most typical results for the whole class as a whole. To do this, mark four groups on the board based on the results of the survey and write down the number of students who fell into each of these groups.

Key to the test

Interpretation of results and psychotechnical exercises

11-17 points . You are an almost incurable, morbid pessimist. You need to do something with yourself!

All the time you hear inner voices that convince you that life is boring, people are not worth paying attention to, etc. Even the adoption of a more or less important decision is accompanied by a struggle of various inner voices that advise quite the opposite. One says, for example: “Don’t go for a walk today, it’s cold outside, you can catch a cold and get sick.” Another voice coaxes: “Go for a walk, fresh air is very good for health!”

This dialogue can go on indefinitely, and as a rule, you succumb to the persuasion of the first voice and stay at home. Learn to make a more optimistic decision. Moreover, this must be done as quickly as possible, in the very first minutes of this internal dialogue. And if you have made a decision, then you need to act in accordance with it, for example, go for a walk on the street.

18-24 points. Although from time to time you have some glimpses of optimism, pessimism most often takes over your mood. Try to look at the world more joyfully, do something pleasant for yourself.

On a large sheet of paper, make a list of "My virtues" and place it in a conspicuous place. Regularly (at first once a day, then less often) supplement the list of your virtues. To do this, you need to carefully study yourself, your characteristics, inquisitively peer into your habits, actions.

If you yourself cannot find another advantage in yourself, first contact the closest people, those whom you especially trust and whose opinion is significant to you. They will help you find your strengths. The same question can be (and probably, after some time it should be) asked by the most different people. All that kind and good things that they will say about you, include in the list “My virtues”.

25-30 points . You have a very sober view of the world, but you cannot completely abandon pessimistic moods.

At the first signs of a pessimistic mood, start praising yourself for every little thing: "I'm good, I'm very good." And so every time when it will be necessary.

31-41 points. You have a clear, realistic outlook on life, usually in any situation you remain optimistic. You are an optimist from birth. And you are right! But this quality of yours to a certain extent prevents you from correcting your mistakes. It's a pity!

Develop the habit of analyzing your optimism. What is happening, how do people around you feel, does your energy interfere with others, etc.? Ask yourself questions like this more often. And when you get two or three dozen answers, see which of the reasons are more common.

Now the most important thing remains - to eliminate the reasons why your mood and optimism interfere with others. Try not to get into those situations that lead to possible conflicts.

42-49 points . This is no longer optimism, but unbridled frivolity. You need to think about your attitude towards life.

Try to enter the image, for example, of a phlegmatic, calm person who has seen everything, knows everything, and live in this image for several hours in a row. No matter how difficult it is for you, no matter what reasons and reasons arise, you cannot leave the image.

React to what is happening the way your hero would react - a phlegmatic person. First calmly think about what actually happened, collect additional information for acceptance needed solution, put it aside for a while (suddenly something else happens), and only then act.

A comment. The list of statements of this test is open for additions, especially those directly related to the life of the schoolchildren themselves. The very process of discussing the available statements and possible answers is a good diagnostic of the children's real attitude to the realities of modern life.

During the discussion, it should be emphasized that today it is really difficult to remain optimistic, but only such an attitude to life will help to overcome the difficulties that almost every person experiences.

29 points or more . You have significant creativity. If you can actually apply your abilities, you will achieve great success.

Tasks:

1. Teach the basics of working with tests.

2. Stimulate students to know their own self.

Equipment: sayings written on the board.

Class hour progress

Teacher. A long time ago in ancient Greece, a temple was built in honor of the god Apollo (the god of light and arts). Seven sayings were written on the walls of the temple:

1. Know yourself.

2. Nothing beyond measure.

3. Measure matters most.

4. Everything has its time.

5. The main thing in life is the end.

6. There is no goodness in the multitude.

7. Vouch only for yourself.

These sayings were composed by 7 wise men. They were famous politicians and legislators of the time. One of these sayings - "Know thyself" - loved to repeat the great philosopher Socrates.

What do you think the expression "Know (understand) thyself" means? (Children answer.)

To know yourself means to understand what advantages and disadvantages you have, what you are capable of. How to do it?

Psychologists have developed a large number of tests - simple, but effective, with which you can find answers to almost all your questions. Moreover, with the help of tests, you can learn a lot of interesting things not only about yourself, but also about the people who surround you.

Today we will try to figure out what is close and clear to you - whether you feel good with your friends. At the same time, we will see what kind of activity you prefer.

1. Draw 8 circles. Look at them and determine where you are. Put a tick in the selected circle.

2. Draw two rows of circles, seven in each row. Do you live with your mom and dad? Write inside the first circle (it is specially painted over), suppose, "mother." Or "dad". If in the first "mom", then enter "dad" in the circle below.

Look carefully at the row of circles and determine where you are. First in the first row, then in the second. Check the boxes.


3. Draw seven circles. (Teacher should show how.) Tick where you are, sign where parents are.


4. There are three groups of people around each of you (parents, teachers, friends). There are three circles in front of you. Write where someone is. And mark where you are.

5. There are two groups of circles - nine and two. Find yourself among them. Mark with a checkmark or a cross.


6. Before you is a point, a vertical line, a triangle, a square, a pentagon, a hexagon, a star. Which figure do you like the most? Which figure most resembles you?


7. And now - attention! There are five shapes in front of you - a square, a triangle, a rectangle, a circle and a zigzag. Choose from them the figure in relation to which you can say: "It's me!" - the one you liked the most. Then choose the one you don't like the most.

Evaluation of results

(Based on the test results, the class teacher can draw conclusions about relationships in the family, in the class. Therefore, it is not necessary to read all the results aloud).

If you quickly completed the task, then there is nothing difficult in your relations with people, you are a pleasant person to communicate with. You are rather focused on communication, i.e. your profession should be connected with people.

If you did not dare to put a tick for a long time, you can say that you are an indecisive person, you have few friends. It's time for you to get out of your shell. Of the professions, working with technology is more suitable for you.

1. A tick on the left - you feel good in a team, a sociable person and one on one with a complex machine (for example, with a computer or a disassembled vacuum cleaner) will not last long - you need company.

A tick on the right - you have a clear bad luck with the environment, you prefer loneliness, and if you are pulled out to an event, then you try to behave there unnoticed.

A tick in the middle - it all depends on the mood. In the class, you do not particularly stand out, do not strive to become leaders, but do not strive to get into outright outcasts either.

2. Whom they wrote first - that is the main thing for you in life.

They wrote "mom" - you are guided by your mother, more with her

communicate, with any question, first of all, go to her.

They wrote "dad" - it means that you are more comfortable with your father than with your mother.

If you checked the box next to their circles, then you have a trusting, sincere relationship with your parents. 3-4th circle from the beginning - you are on good terms, but everyone has their own secrets. Your relationship is unimportant if you see yourself in the circles farthest from your parents.

3. This is a question for the imagination. If, after reading the task, you introduced yourself, your relatives, or maybe friends and quickly put them in their places and ticked off, everything is clear in your relationship. If it was difficult to imagine, everything is not so simple for you.

If you put yourself above others (tick in the upper circles) - the world lies at your feet. You consider yourself sufficiently knowledgeable in this life. People as confident as you are drawn to. Next to your confidence and it becomes warmer. Perhaps you were the ringleader in the classroom, at any party you literally gush with ideas. You do a lot of things in time and try to keep up with others in your studies.

Did you tag your parents? And both in one circle? You have a good relationship - what is commonly called friendly.

Parents are one step down. Normal position. Your parents are still working for you, so they are in second place in your thoughts. You are the main person.

Parents on the third level, by a wide margin from you. You are in an unimportant relationship. With your problems, you would rather go to your friends than to mom and dad. common language you don't, you don't try to find it.

According to the arrangement of the circles, mom is closer than dad, and even mom is drawn before dad. Your authority is mom. Perhaps dad spends so much time at work that you hardly see or communicate with him.

You have chosen the middle row for yourself. It is convenient for you to be in the company. When asked who will volunteer for a cause, do not raise your hand. You do not like to stick out, although you are happy to accept invitations to all sorts of events.

Parents are standing nearby - you have complete peace and harmony. You even go hiking together.

Parents are above you - in your house you can hear a conversation in raised tones, and more often you have to obey, doing what you don’t want to do.

Parents are on the bottom row. You are more interested in school than at home. You get all the news from friends, not from parents.

You have selected the bottom row for your location. It is convenient for you to sit at the last desk by the window and be invisible. Now it doesn't really bother you.

Parents are nearby. As they say, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Quiet, calm parents often have equally quiet children. The very atmosphere of the family puts pressure on them, forcing them, so to speak, to bend down to the floor. But your little “revolutions” are still waiting for you when you try to “break through the blockade” and go free swimming.

Parents are one position higher. Your mom and dad adhere to the principle: while you live in their house, you are small and if you please do as it is said. With your "calmness" it is not so difficult to command you.

Parents are two positions higher. Your parents are the rulers of your little kingdom, and you occupy the most insignificant position in it. And all this is also superimposed on conflicts in the classroom, the absence of friends (or their betrayal) - in short, the streak in life is clearly dark.

4. Whom they wrote in the first place - he is the authority for you.

5. Test to determine how well you feel in the "pack".

You have found yourself among the nine circles - the "flock" accepts you, you can get lost in it and be one of its members. You feel a little above the “pack” (top row), an equal member (middle row), not the strongest and most popular fighter (bottom row).

You have chosen a circle to the side. The collective expelled you, or you yourself left. Or maybe you write poetry and soar far, far away? So, you are aware of your individuality.

Black circle. Not the best position.

6. The more complex you have chosen a figure, the more multifaceted person you feel. Creative people choose a star - she is all so intricate and mysterious. The pentagon is associated with the number five, which in itself says a lot. Straight line - you are a secretive nature, jealously keep your secrets. Or vice versa, you are too frivolous and simple. There are no difficulties in life for you, the horizon is clear. An enviable state.

Let's draw conclusions. If according to all the tests it turns out that you are a leader, you feel and evaluate yourself above everyone else, then you should look for a profession where you can express yourself. Any profession implies good performance and praise for success. Politician, speaker, organizer of his business, sociologist (a person who deals with the "laws of the crowd", who knows how to predict events in human society), teacher (this is where leadership qualities will appear), actor (applause, flowers ...).

If, according to the tests, it turns out that you are a quiet middle peasant (do not be offended by these words), you put yourself next to someone everywhere, you cannot live without a team, then distant expeditions, lonely winterings and trips around the world on a raft are not for you. In the future, work in a large corporation will smile at you, where everything is spinning, spinning, global events are taking place, where planets are leaving their orbits and supernovae are igniting.

7. Now let's see what kind of fruit you are, or rather, what kind of figure.

Square. Hello, excellent students and good students! You are an organized and hardworking person, at home there is always order on your desk. The pencils in the pencil case are sharply honed, the pens are all colors of the rainbow. But sometimes you fail too. If you get too carried away with the little things, you make big mistakes. You stubbornly go to your goal. It’s hard to ask for a loan from you - don’t give it. You love to learn. People like you make good businessmen and teachers.

Triangle. You are the instigator. In dreams, girls like you see themselves as great actresses, and boys like Napoleons. You like being the center of attention. You like to compete and win, but the principle “the main thing is not the finish, but the participation” is not for you. You need to win!

Circle. You easily get along with people. Approximately the same as Kolobok. Having set off to travel from the house of his grandparents, he immediately determined that neither the hare nor the wolf could interfere with him. Well, there was a mistake with the fox. Who doesn't make mistakes these days? You enjoy meeting new people. A favorite lesson in the lesson is to study the teacher's reaction to one or another irritant: to Sidorov's sniffling, to a slamming window, to Petrov and Ivanov whispering, to Borisov's creaky shoes. You know how to make people around you feel good. Your element is literature and history.

Rectangle. You are questioning everything. Where there is doubt, there is a desire to understand everything, which means that you are inquisitive and courageous. Until you find out what rustles there in a dark corner, do not calm down. You easily decide challenging tasks- you are interested in the decision process itself.

Zigzag. Such complex shape usually chosen by creative personalities. The zigzag is unusual, stands out from the crowd, is aggressive (that's why notorious hooligans can choose it). In the classroom, you rarely answer memorized phrases. The answer itself is born in your head, so you love literature that allows you to reason and argue. You are an interesting conversationalist.

Additional material

sociometric technique

The word "sociometry" literally means "social dimension". The technique was proposed by the American psychologist J. Moreno and is intended to assess interpersonal relationships: likes and dislikes, attractiveness and preference. Consider this technique in relation to the children's team.

The children are invited to list classmates with whom each of them would like to communicate and cooperate in various types activities. For example:

1. Which classmate would you invite to your birthday party?

2. With which classmate would you go on a trip around the world?

As a rule, children are invited to choose no more than three classmates. Their surnames are written in the nominative case.

The results are presented in the form of matrices (tables), which are compiled by the class teacher. A separate matrix is ​​compiled for each question.

The first column of the matrix contains the names of the guys who choose. The first row of the matrix contains the names of those who are chosen. In both cases, the names are listed in the same order.

The number 1 is placed in the column of the student who was chosen first, the number 2 - in the column of the one who was chosen second, 3 - the third.

In summary rows and columns:

BC - the number of choices made by this person;

VP - the sum of the choices received by this person (i.e. how many people chose him);

BB - the number of mutual, coinciding elections.

The sum of the choices received by each child (VP) is a measure of his position in the class.

If the student received the most choices, he is considered to be a "star".

If you get an average number of choices - to the preferred ones.

If less than the average number of choices - to neglected.

If you have not received a single choice - to the isolated ones.

The satisfaction of the child with his own position in the class is determined by the coefficient:

BB (number of mutual elections) K.

BC (number of choices made by this person)

So, if the number of BB is 0, and the number of choices made by a person is 3 and K = 0/3 = 0, then it should be assumed that he may have problems in interpersonal relationships.

Average relationship well-being(BWV) in the class will be fixed in case of approximate equality: "stars" + preferred = = neglected + isolated.

The low level of well-being in the class is evidenced by the predominance of people with low status.

If “stars” + preferred > neglected + isolated, then this indicates a high WLW, which is characterized by fairly stable, even, friendly relations in the team. But at the same time, one should be very careful about the presence of isolated and neglected ones and try to make the necessary adjustments to interpersonal relations in the team, having previously understood the causes of the existing problems.

As an example, let's give a table in which the answers to the question are entered: "Who would you go on a trip around the world with?"

Smirnova

Alekseev

Danilova

Smirnova

Alekseev

Danilova

The symbol "X" means that this field is not to be filled.

The sociometric methodology, in order to increase its effectiveness, involves the compilation of three matrices on three different questions, the results of which are evaluated jointly. To do this, it is necessary to summarize the obtained values ​​of VP, BB, BC for all three matrices. It is likely that the overall picture may change.

As you can see, there is more than enough data for analysis and reflection. Take a closer look at the guys during collective games, creative activities, in free time. Your observations will complement the current picture and tell which of the children and what needs your help.

To prevent children from guessing about the research being conducted, it is better if you conduct sociometric research in the form of a game - for example, start forming a team for a round-the-world trip. Otherwise, they will expect results from you, which for many can become a source of worries, unnecessary psychological trauma.

The results of such tests, surveys and other methods focused on the study of interpersonal relations in a team, assessment individual qualities children, should not be brought up for discussion in the classroom and are used by the class teacher only in order to optimize their educational activities.
