A guided drawing psychology test

Tree Test (Baum)

Draw a tree.

Use the Tree Test (Baum) for open-ended exploration of a single natural form in projective and art-therapy contexts and adult self-reflection. In InnerCanvas, it helps you reflect on how you imagine growth, stability, boundaries, change, and the environment that supports you. The report describes visible drawing choices and possible meanings cautiously; it does not assign a fixed personality label.

What the report looks at

For Tree Test (Baum), InnerCanvas records visible features such as trunk, crown, branches, roots, and ground, scale and placement on the page, line continuity and repeated details. It describes the drawing and its relationships without treating them as proof of a diagnosis, personality trait, or life history.

Where the report stops

Tree drawing and Baum test interpretations are culturally and methodologically varied, so InnerCanvas treats them as starting points for reflection rather than proof. The test is best treated as a structured prompt for reflection, not as a standalone psychological assessment.
