Searching the Web

I decided to search the web to find out more about projective personality testing. More specifically the House Tree Person Test. This type of testing requires someone to draw a house, a tree, and a person. Then a psychologist would analyze their drawings and link certain charachteristics of their drawings, to certain personality traits using a specific scoring system. My main objective was to discover the scoring system criteria for this test.
I began my search using the search tool Lycos. I'm used to searching with Blackle which is an energy saving search powered by Google. The first time I tried the search with Lycos, I plugged in the words-Projective house tree person test. There was a total of 2,347 hits all together. The first URL I recieved was www.minddisorders.com, which was relative to my topic, infact all of the first ten seemed very relative to the house tree person test itself, but did not give me much insight as to the scoring system used to analyze the drawings.
Once I couldn't find a distinct scoring system, I did another search. I still typed in the same thing but added on the end "scoring system" in parenthesis. Using the parenthesis should give you results using that exact phrase. Well, it did. However, it returned the same sites that came back the first time, all of which spoke of scoring systems, but did not identify a definitive scoring system itself. I suppose that if I were to try to search this again I would try a different searching tool so that I could have access to a more advanced search field. There was an advanced search option for Lycos but none of the fields would have help specify and narrow my desired search.

Just a little Bio
