Based on Swiss psychiatrist Moritz Tramer's "Bucherkatalogtest" from the 1950s, this personality test "tries to evoke different interests that lie buried deep down in each of us" using 432 book titles as a method of examination. The objective is to choose ten titles from the list in under twenty minutes. Each book title is connected to a certain category, so by examining and comparing the test subject's choices, a portrait of their method of thinking and associations emerges. A comprehensive user's manual is included. Soft cover, spiral binding, 144 pages. This book was commissioned by the Contemporary Artists' Book Conference on the occasion of the New York Art Book Fair, September 28-30 2012.
