[Identity and the imagination of the personal sphere].

Identity is a sense of self-sameness and continuity in time, and of embeddedness in the environment. The integrity of this sense depends on the reliability of the boundaries of the self, and on the anchorage in object relationships. Investigations with the Personal Sphere Model, a graphic test for object relationships, have shown that the self and its relationships are arranged in spatial constellations, which are characteristics for the individual and remain constant over time. It appears that these constellations are based on cognitive schemes, which reflect spatial images of the self and its environment, and thus of the sense of identity.

[Correlations of the Personal Sphere Model and Rorschach Projection tests. (A factorial examination of the validity of the Personal Sphere Model using the Rorschach Test)].

The most important results of the factor analysis of 11 variables of the Personal Sphere Model and 14 variables of the Rorschach-Test have shown in both tests common radicals appearing in the evaluation as well of the structure of personality as of the behaviour of man. Both tests emphasize the possibility of objectivating pathological traits of personality: the difference consisting in the fact, that this traits are coming out more distinctly in the Rorschach-Test, while in the Personal Sphere Model the psychodynamic factors of the ability of building object relationships of overcoming seperations are appearing more clearly. The most relevant conformity of both tests is the possibility of distinctly projecting the defense mechanism of aggression.
