Features: That person paused and then said, "This is not mythology, but science! Just like the inkblot test developed by the Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach, as well as the later maze personality measurement method, are all psychological testing techniques supported by extensive scientific statistical data and clinical case studies after years of research by psychologists." I wanted to change the topic, so I nodded in agreement and said, "Oh, I know about these two personality testing techniques. But I didn’t expect that tree-drawing test is of the same type."
"Take color, for example," this person began to talk more and more arrogantly, pointing to the colors on the table, the wall, and the curtains. "Based on a person’s preference or aversion to a certain color, and then having them arrange a series of colors in different orders of liking and aversion, we can analyze and deduce their emotional, personality, and mental health status. This is also a science, the psychology of color."
Although I felt quite uncomfortable inside, I couldn’t help but admire this person’s vast knowledge. At that moment, the bell rang to mark the opening of the conference, and the conversation had to stop there. As that person was leaving the conference room, he turned around, pointed to the article on the table, and said calmly, "This article was written by me." I then remembered to take note of the author’s name and picked up the materials to see. The byline read "Cong Changmin."

Fang Xian was my university classmate and is now engaged in neuro psychology research. After hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Lately, many people have wanted to open psychological clinics. I have a friend named Cong Changmin, who is a third-party expert. Just now when we met, he was also saying he wanted to open a private psychological clinic."
"You mean Cong Changmin? He’s your friend?" I pointed to the stack of conference materials in my hand and suddenly became interested. "The author of that paper, 'Research on Personality Projection Testing Through Drawing'? What kind of person is he?"
"He’s very knowledgeable and quite intelligent. He returned from Japan more than six months ago and is a psychology doctor. His specialty is psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, and it’s said he’s particularly skilled in dream analysis and hypnotherapy. A university’s research institute has invited him to work there, but he hasn’t made a final decision yet. Because he really wants to open his own psychological clinic."
At that moment, a new idea suddenly popped into my head, and I said, "Could I hire him to work at our clinic as a psychologist?" Fang Xian looked at me in surprise and said, "Why would you want to hire him to work at your psychological clinic?" I asked, "Why? Is he arrogant and difficult to get along with?"
"Not really. Although he’s quite self-assured, he’s quite sincere in his interactions with others. He’s just very eccentric and strange in his temperament and behavior." I asked, "How eccentric and strange?"
"He’s full of energy, physically strong, and thinks very quickly. He once
