The purpose of this study is to visualize large and complex psychological data to render it more easily understood. We have developed, and have been enhancing a web counseling system. During development, counselors need to grasp the user’s situation and formulate psychological data. However, the data are highly varied, and it is very difficult to compare among them, as well as to extract features from them. To cope with these problems, it is useful and helpful to visualize data. Thus, we propose visualizing the psychological data to 3D graph. The 3D display is implemented in a spiral shape using the Processing project. In this study, our 3D spiral display was used to visualize users’ data from the web counseling system, and the data from the personality test (GHQ28, S-H Resilience and Uchida-Kraepelin Test) .
