About the Welsh Figure Preference Test

Welsh Figure Preference Test Sample graphicThe WFPT consists of 400 black and white figures arranged on a neutral grey background in a booklet of eight figures per page. The subject is asked to decide for each figure whether he likes or does not like the figure. This basic preference dichotomy, usually referred to as "L" and "DL," is recorded on a special answer sheet for scoring of the various scales that have been developed for this test. The figures themselves were not drawn to exemplify any particular aesthetic or perceptual principles but merely to generate a wide variety of stimulus items. The figures range from simple geometric forms to complex and diverse patterns and designs; they were drawn with many variations to include differences in line quality, shape, content, and other aspects of the figure.

The test was originally designed to afford non-language stimulus material suitable for a wide range of subjects who could not be tested readily with conventional personality inventories and projective methods.
