AGREE/DISAGREE/NOT SURE_2
Psychometric tests are given to individuals to assess their suitability for certain types of work.
In this ongoing work, statements similar to those used in Psychometric tests are placed in conjunction with landscape pictures and images of installations found throughout Britain and occasionally abroad.
The tests are designed to expose personality traits which may have been overlooked during interviews. There are many such tests and in general respondents are asked to ‘agree’ or ‘disagree’ by ticking boxes beside various statements. Typically, a test may contain around four of five hundred such statements. The results are then evaluated and the conclusions are fed back to the respondents or more usually to their potential employers.
In many of the following images we see the landscape either as a creation in its own right or as fulfilling a designated function. Increasingly these spaces are obliged to accommodate multiple interests and aspirations – which are frequently at variance or sometimes in conflict with one another.
Agree/Disagree/Not Sure [2] continues the juxtaposition of images and texts in book one. The texts are similar to those used in psychometric tests as before, but in this book they also reflect the perceived convergence of psychology tests with other material found on-line such as the reductive presentations of ideas commonly found on Instagram, X, etc
The images and texts also exist as framed works and the books are available for sale.
