Constructive projective test named Geometric Human Figure Drawing Test™ (Test of Geometrical Forms Preference™; TiGeR™, Libin et al., 1986–2006) is the first original Russian standardized projective technique. The test's main task is to consecutively draw three human figures, limiting the number of preferred elements to 10 in each drawing, a forth geometric picture of a human figure using person-defined numbers of elements, and a fifth geometric drawing of a human face, again following the instruction to use only 10 elements in total. Combining constructive drawings of human figure with individual preference of three basic geometrical forms, TiGeR™ brings together qualitative (projective) and quantitative (statistical) approaches based on the use of drawings in clinical diagnosis and therapy, monitoring of medical recovery and rehabilitation, developmental studies, and neuropsychological and personality assessments. This unique diagnostic system expands the usefulness of the projective drawing technique by providing standardized assessment of cognitive functioning, emotional mood, and personality states resulting from psychosocial situations. TiGeR™ is widely used since 1986 among thousands of clinicallyand personality-oriented practitioners to monitor cognitive deterioration and emotional disturbance in clinical populations with mental health problems (e.g., in schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, Alzheimer's, and patients with chronic depression and anxiety), and persons with physical disabilities (e.g., spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease,), and chronic illness (e.g., cardiovascular malfunction and cancer). TiGeR™ can also be used to analyze individual expressive styles in children and adults in the general population.

TiGeR™ was tested on various clinical and healthy populations of differing age and gender, professional and socio-economic groups, and cultural status. Interpretation of the
