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 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 into the woods. You enter a
clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe its size.
5. Is your dream house open, or 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 (ceramic, glass,
paper, etc.)?
8. What do you do with the cup?
9. You walk to the edge of the property, where
you find yourself standing at the edge of a body of water. What type of body of
water is it?
10. How will you cross the water?
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 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 home 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 is more
indicative of a closed personality. You'd prefer people to not 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 is representative of the perceived durability of your
relationship with the person from number 1. For example, Styrofoam, plastic,
and paper are disposable; Styrofoam, paper, and glass (ceramics) are not
durable; and metal and plastic are durable.
8. Your disposition of the cup is
representative of your attitude toward the person in number 1.
9. The size of the body of water is
representative of the size of your sexual desire.
10. How wet you get in crossing the water is
indicative of the relative importance of your sex life.
