NO CHEATING! That will take all the fun out of it.
Have a pen and paper handy before you read any
further. As soon as you read a question, an answer will pop up in your mind and write it down immediately.
Make sure to answer questions 1‑8 before moving on ... and remember NO CHEATING!
Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind,
and write down the FIRST thing that you visualize. Do not think about the
questions excessively.
1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who are you walking
with?
2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal
is it?
3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal?
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is
your dream house. Describe its size?
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
6. You enter the house. You walk to the dining area and see the dining
room table. Describe what you see on AND around the table.
7. You exit the house through the back door. Lying in the grass is a cup.
What material is the cup made of?
8. What do you do with the cup?
This has been a relational psychology test. The answers given to the
questions have been shown to have a relevance to values and ideals that we
hold in our personal lives.
The analysis is as follows:
1. The person who you are walking with is the most important person in
your life.
2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size
of your problems.
3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is
representative of how you deal with your problems. (Passive/aggressive)
4. The size of your dream house is representative of the size of your
ambition to resolve your problems.
5. No fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at
all times. The presence of a fence indicates a close personality. You'd
prefer people not to drop by unannounced.
6. If your answer did not include food, people, or flowers, then you are
generally unhappy.
7. The durability of the material with which the cup is made of is
representative of the perceived durability of your relationship with the
person named in number 1. For example, Styrofoam, plastic, and paper are
all disposable, metal and plastic are durable.
8. Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude towards
the person in number 1.
