The IDRlabs Color Personality Test (IDR-CPT) was developed by IDRlabs. The IDR-CPT is based on the work of Dr. Max Lüscher, who created the Lüscher Color Test. The IDR-CPT is not associated with any specific researchers in the field of personality psychology or any affiliated research institutions.
The IDRlabs Color Personality Test was informed by Lüscher criteria for a person’s psychophysical state – his or her ability to withstand stress, to perform, and to communicate – as published in Lüscher, M. (1969). The Lüscher Color Test. Washington Square Press; Badalian, L. O., Mastiukova, E. M., Korabel'Nikova, E. A. (1995).
