The test involved randomly showing a patient words on a piece of card and asking the patient to say the first thing that comes to his mind upon seeing the word. Sometimes a patient would not be able to say anything upon seeing the word. He reasoned, after his experiments with his word-association test that our mind develops delayed or long reaction times to particular words. These words generally set off an unconscious emotion, feeling or memory - or a complex as Jung called it. 1, record 1, English, - Jung%20association%20test

Le test d’association de mots de Jung est [...] un des premiers tests projectifs. [...] en prononçant devant le sujet une liste de mots inducteurs, celui-ci est invité à dire le plus rapidement possible le mot auquel le mot inducteur fait penser. Si le mot inducteur a une valeur affective forte [...] il peut s’ensuivre un certain trouble et on peut chercher à remplacer une réponse par une autre. L'allongement du temps de réaction est l'indicateur le plus fréquent du complexe. 3, record 1, French, - test%20d%27association%20de%20mots%20de%20Jung
