Klappentext

This is a set of intriguing psychological images designed to help us notice what we characteristically see - or project - into the world, and what may or may not actually be there. It contains a range of deliberately ambiguous illustrated scenes, each inviting us to imagine what might be happening within them. By answering quickly and impressionistically, we can reveal fascinating things about our unconscious concerns, joys, fears and interests. Play the game on your own or with friends in order to discover some of what you tend to project into situations, and what this might say about you.

• Drawing on the same principle behind the Thematic Apperception Test, each ambiguous image invites a different story, and how we choose to describe it reveals more about us than the picture itself.
• Each of the forty evocative black-and-white illustrations, portrays a unique scene or situation, inviting interpretation and projection rather than offering a fixed narrative.
• Delve deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and intuition by reflecting on the cards alone, or in conversation with others.
