What the AI observes

For House-Tree-Person (HTP), InnerCanvas records visible features such as relative size and spacing, doors, windows, branches, and figure completion, how the three required elements share one scene. It describes the drawing and its relationships without treating them as proof of a diagnosis, personality trait, or life history.

Research and limitations

HTP traditions contain many symbolic interpretations, but single drawing features do not diagnose a person or reveal hidden traits. The test is best treated as a structured prompt for reflection, not as a standalone psychological assessment.
