Are psychological tests that rely on drawings, which may have multiple interpretations and offer an analysis of the subject's personality, permissible in Islamic law, and what is their ruling?
We have previously clarified the types of personality analysis, and that what is permissible among them is sound knowledge. What has already been explained is sufficient regarding the ruling on what was specifically mentioned, because ruling on something is a branch of conceiving it, and what was mentioned in the question is not sufficient for conception. It is not obligatory for the mufti to apply the ruling to the exact matter inquired about; rather, the important thing is to clarify the legal rationales.
