The Animal Metaphor Test is a projective psychological test created by Albert J. Levis, the director and founder of the Museum of the Creative Process, in 1988.
[3] The Animal Metaphor test consists of a series of creative and analytical prompts.
Unlike conventional projective tests, the Animal Metaphor works as both a diagnostic and therapeutic battery.
Unlike the Rorschach test and TAT, the Animal Metaphor is premised on self-analysis via self-report questions.
The test has been used widely as a clinical tool, as an educational assessment, and in human resource selection.
