Both Eric and Lisa Wind had a morbid concern for heredity, and instead of delighting in Victor's artistic genius, they often worried about the genetic causes.The arts and sciences are indeed quite alive in the grandparents.Victor has a fascination with paint, can it be traced back to Hans Andersen (not the Danish author of the pillow reading)?This Andersen was once a stained glass painter in Lübeck, and soon after his beloved girl married a grey-haired Hamburg jeweler, author of a study of sapphires, Eric's maternal grandfather. Crazy (thought he was a cathedral).Besides, what Viktor draws with pencil and pen is almost uncannily accurate. Is this a by-product of Bogolepov's science?For the great-grandfather of Viktor's mother was the seventh son of a country priest, none other than the unique genius Feofilakt Bagorepov, who was named the greatest Russian mathematician only by Nicholas La Lobachevsky was a rival.These two points make people unable to explain why.

Genius never sticks to a rut.At two years old Victor didn't just scribble and draw spirals to represent buttons or windows, millions of dolls do that, why don't you?He likes to make his circles very round, end to end.A three-year-old child, asked him to copy a square, first drew a clear square corner, and then comfortably drew the rest of the outline as waves or circles; Accuracy copied the far from ideal square drawn by the researcher (Dr. Lisa Wind), and also drew a smaller square next to the copy.He never went through the beginning stages of ordinary children's drawing activities, such as drawing Kopffusslers (little people like tadpoles), drawing short squats with figure-splayed legs and fork-like arms; in fact, he avoided drawing at all. Human figure, when Dad (Dr. Eric Wind) insisted on drawing his mother (Dr. Lisa Wind), he would draw some beautiful wavy lines, saying it was her in that Shadows on the new refrigerator.At the age of four, he gradually developed a unique style of stippling.At the age of five he began to draw objects in perspective—a side wall shortened well, a tree dwarfed by distance, one thing half covering another.By the age of six, Victor could already recognize things that many adults never learned to distinguish—the colors of shadows, the difference in shades between the shadow of an orange and the shadow of a plum or avocado.

For the Winds, Victor is a problem child that they don't take for granted.Wende's point is that every boy has a strong desire to castrate his father, a strong homesick desire to return to the mother's womb.However, Victor didn't display any abnormal behavior, no nose picking, no thumb smacking, and he wasn't even a nail-biting kid.Dr. Wind was a radio amateur himself, and in order to eliminate what he called "the static between personal relationships," he entrusted the stubborn child to a pair of outsiders at the institute—young Dr. Stern and His smiling wife (I'm Louise, this is my wife, Christina) came to give a psychological test.The results were either outrageously large or zero: the seven-year-old subject achieved an astonishing score equivalent to the intellectual age of seventeen when he accepted the so-called Gudunov's drawing animal test, but in another Fulvio In his adult test, he suddenly dropped to the intelligence level of a two-year-old child.What a lot of work, skill, and creativity went into designing these fantastic quiz methods!Some patients even refuse to cooperate, it is simply too outrageous!For example, Kanter-Rosanov's Absolute Free Association Test requires Joe or Jane to think about a table, duck, music, sick, thick, low, deep, long, happy , fruit, mother, mushroom, etc. to respond to stimulating words.There's also the lovely Beaver's Interest and Attitude Game (playing it on a rainy afternoon is a godsend), asking little Sym or Ruby to respond to a list of things like dying, wrestling, etc. , dreams, whirlwinds, funerals, fathers, nights, operations, bedrooms, bathrooms, concentration, etc., put a small mark on whatever he or she feels a little scared; Augusta Angst's abstraction test, which asks the little one (das kleine) to express the meaning of a series of technical nouns ("moaning", "joy", "darkness") in words and phrases of his own imagination.And of course the doll game, where Patrick or Patricia are given two identical rubber dolls and a small piece of cute clay that Pat has to glue onto one of the dolls before he or she starts playing.What a beautiful doll's house, with so many rooms, and so many wonderful gadgets, including a potty no bigger than a shell, a medicine cabinet, a pair of pokers, and a double bed Well, there's even a pair of little rubber gloves in the kitchen; baby-papa and baby-mother turn off the lights in the bedroom, and if you think he's beating her, you can do whatever you want with baby-papa.But Bad Victor doesn't want to play with Lou and Tina, ignores the dolls, crosses out all the words on the quiz sheet (which is against the rules), and draws a picture of how you can't be an imbecile anyway. Children's paintings.

In those beautiful Rothchatch blots, children see or should see all kinds of things, seascapes, fire escapes, capes, imbecile maggots, nervous tree trunks, Erotic rubber boots, umbrellas, dumbbells, etc., and Victor couldn't find anything that interested the therapists.None of Victor's random sketches automatically unfolded on the paper and reflected the so-called mandala-this word (in Sanskrit) probably means the magic ring, and Dr. Jung and others often use it to trick some Stupid, the shape is a more or less spread out quadruple structure, like a half-split mangosteen, either like a cross, or like the torture cart, on which self Consciousness is dissected like a body, or more precisely, like a four-valenced carbon molecule, the main chemical component of the brain, magnified and reflected on paper.

The Sterns reported, "Unfortunately, Victor's spiritual value in terms of imagery, imagination and word association was completely overshadowed by the child's artistic preference." The couple allowed the little patient, who had difficulty falling asleep and had a poor appetite, to read in bed until late at night, and avoided the early morning meal of cereal.
