The hand test

"It has often been maintained that the superiority of humans over animals is due to the great development of the human brain and the human hand. The erect posture of man gives the human hand a great deal of freedom. Since hands are not used by humans to facilitate moving from one place to another, they are free to be used for all sorts of purposes, thus contributing to the development of intelligence. Both phylogentic and ontogenetic studies have shown that the use of the hand is intimately associated with the development of intellectual capacities. The hands are most closely linked with the motor functions and with overt activities. No other part of the human organism, aside from the eyes, helps us as much to acquire an optimal orientation in the immediate environment, and in space in general. The understanding of, and orientation in, the third dimension, necessary for any real action, are gained through the use of the hands. It was reasonable to expect that a projective personality test, employing pictures of hands as visual stimuli, would throw light upon the action tendencies of the individual taking the test. The idea of constructing a projective Hand Test originated with Edwin E. Wagner and he made the drawings of the nine hands used in the test"--Introduction.
