Edwin E. Wagner is the principal proponent and author of "The Hand Test". Wagner has written over 200 publications in psychology including manuals, reviews, monographs, books and journal articles.
The Hand Test is a projective technique that utilizes ten unbound 3.5 x 4.5 inch cards, nine with simple line drawings of single hands and one blank card, to measure how the viewer interprets what each hand is doing (the blank card is left to the imagination of viewer). Verbal responses are given or "projected" by the viewer, and the results are recorded, scored and interpreted by the administrator. Wagner presented the Hand Test as a "starting point" or "narrow band" instrument that "does not necessarily measure all major aspects of personality but does assess the individual's behavioral tendencies." (Wagner, 1983).
