Question:
Why does TCSD consist of two parts? It is not usual for psychological tests.
Answer:
TCSD, part I. was presented at the III. European Psychological Congress in
Tampere in 1994. It deals with the principles of the test, it explains the
use of the colour scale and the words used therein and its classification in
the among other psychiatric diagnosis. Part II. Of TCSD was presented at the
X. European Psychological Congress in Prague in 2007. It treats in greater
details relationships, prediction of a client´s progress, "the lie score",
the new theory and its model, and the uniting connections and differences
among sociological groups. Unfortunately, a wide-scale sociological research
is still waiting to be carried out to support the test by providing
statistically important data.
Question:
Who can work with TCSD?
Answer:
TCSD belongs in the hands of experts - psychologists, sociologists, or
possibly psychiatrists.
Question:
Who can be tested by TCSD?
Answer:
With TCSD /version for adults/ clients from about the age 13 to 14 years old
can be tested. It depends only on whether or not they comprehend the terms
used in the test. Clients affected by autism, physically handicapped
clients, or clients recovering after an operation - wherever their prognosis
can be determined, can all be also tested. TCSD provides valid information
even though the client does not for whatever reasons complete it.
Question:
It seems to me that when I do the test one day, its interpretation could be
different from that which I would receive from you had I taken the test for
example a week later or at some other time. Can you explain this?
Answer:
Provided that nothing extraordinary happens in your life - that is, you
don´t change your bonds towards other people and your social environment -
the interpretation shall be identical. Should your life change, then of
course the interpretation shall be different.
Question:
Can the test be used for big sociological groups?
Answer:
Yes, and it is absolutely very rich in information. Today, I would be
enormously interested in such a big sociological research. I believe that in
this respect the TCSD is really unique.
