By Margaret Lowenfeld

The Lowenfeld Mosaic Test is a non-verbal technique in which the subject is presented with a set of small plastic tiles in five shapes and six colours and is asked to construct a free two-dimensional design upon a standard tray which delimits the space available for the Post code task. The subject has to create meaning out of relatively meaningless material and in so doing he affords the tester an opportunity to study the way he organizes experience. The Test is a valuable diagnostic tool and can also be used as an adjunct to a course of psychotherapy with an individual. It has further applications in Child Development studies, in personnel selection and in anthropological field work where it can provide insights on cultural Son Ltd. imagery and in studies of cultural personality.
