Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary purpose of the HTP is to measure aspects of a person’s personality through interpretation of drawings and responses to questions. It provides clinically useful information about a person’s psychological, emotional, and mental health status.

Detailed explanation-2: -The house-tree-person test (HTP) is a projective personality test, a type of exam in which the test taker responds to or provides ambiguous, abstract, or unstructured stimuli (often in the form of pictures or drawings).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Tree-Drawing Test (TDT, Koch’s Baum Test) is a projective psychological examination often used for assessing personality in the developmental age [1]. Its easiness of administration makes it a useful tool to express self-image and emotional states with relatively little resistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -This projective technique involves asking the subject to draw first a house, then a tree, and finally a person. The drawings are subsequently evaluated and analyzed for dynamic information relative to personality variables and interactions of the subject with his environment.
