I'm a sucker for popular psychology books, but this one is a lot of fun to read and I haven't come across anything else like it. It's an eclectic mix of psychology tests, information, and history. The book starts by detailing a number of tests that aren't in use anymore. Fascinating to see how far we have come so fast with the field of psychology being so new. One of the tests they describe and have pictures of is a portrait test where you choose the picture that stands out most. The choices are a mix of troubled people with diagnosed illnesses, and the one you choose on each card (choice of 6) is supposed to tell the psychologist what you might be diagnosed with as well.There are also a number of real tests that you can take yourself, all simplified into one or two pages, and some new tests that were developed just for this book. It's really a coffee table book more than anything else, but an interesting one. Very well done, interesting look into psychology tests.
