Whether its bullshit or not, it is quite entertaining :)

[festergrump]

Entertaining surely. It certainly has a keen grasp on the obvious as it told me mostly what I already knew. The neat thing is if the insight surprises you, then you have a bit of self-evaluating to do...

I was only slightly surpised by the cup that I found behind my house. It was made of plastic which was a slight shock to me (I hold relationships in somewhat high regard but have had several fail miserably over the years, hence no longer interested in a long term thing. A night or three is nice). What gets me is the fact that I washed it (the plastic cup) then filled it with beer. What could this mean?

Maybe I should stop drinking Budweiser out of the can...? :confused:

Like you say, it does get the obvious things.

The question about what animal you meet in the woods would work if it was your personal demons manifesting as a dangerous animal. Then you either run or fight - makes sense. My animal was a fox, and it ran away when it saw me. How does the "severity of my interaction" tell me whether I deal with problems in a passive or aggressive way? My problems aren't small and run away because they are scared of me! Surely it's more likely to represent something I want, but escapes me?

With the cup, I suffer from being a realist, so my cup was the most common, everyday cup - a ceramic one. Same with the fox - I wouldn't say it was a bear or a yeti, because you couldn't find one in woods in this country.

Ditto the table. Mine had no food because you don't just leave food lying around going bad. I'd also be suspicious of food where I didn't know how long it had been out, or who put it there.

I overlooked there being people around the table, although I did include chairs. I was thinking about a table, people are not tables or immediate accessories. Also, this house is empty in my imagination as I have just discovered it in the woods.

I didn't think of flowers (but I did include candles), because I don't buy flowers for myself. I'll happily buy them for someone else, but I wouldn't for myself as in a week they're dead and your money is gone. If you buy flowers for someone else, then you're paying for their reaction to the gift, rather than the flowers themselves.

The size of my house more likely represents the size of my ambition in life. Nothing to do with my ambition to deal with my problems. It's not likely to be a mansion, because I'm not likely to ever be able to afford one.

My house didn't have fence, because I imagined that there was no one about to spy on what I might do in or around my house. I generally don't like people dropping round uninvited though.

I picked up the cup and put it aside somewhere safe. What relation does that have with the person I'm supposedly walking in the woods with? Maybe I might want to put them aside now, but another week, I might not. But my answer would be the same, because that's what I'd do in Real Life.

My body of water was a small lake, because I'd like a house with one. Nowt to do with sexual desire.

I crossed the lake using a raft I made from wood and barrels because it's fun and something I've done before. I didn't factor in getting wet, but I could fall in and get soaked, or not even get splashed. How does that relate to the importance of sex to me? Perhaps an extrovert would dive in and swim across, whereas an introvert would avoid the water. What if you are a swimmer, or have hydrophobia? That is going to have a far greater influence on your answer than your sex drive.

Fester, maybe you should stop drinking Bud altogether :) Chemical filled stuff that wrecks your digestive system. Also, I highly doubt their claim on the bottle that Bud is the most expensive beer to brew in the world. How can anything that is mass-produced and sold at an average price fulfill such a claim?

1. I was walking alone as I tend to enjoy walking alone in the woods.

2 I saw a dear

3 it ran off

4 my house was medium

5 no fence

6 my table was bare with a really nice light hangin above it and a few chairs

7 my cup was porcelin

8 i put the cup inside

9 my body of water was a creek

10 I jumped across.

I thought this test was dumb. I guess I get sad some times so 6 is somewhat relative. But I like sex, and I like creeks so that part was BS. My dear ran off so I don't know what that means. At least it wasn't a yetti

[EJMac]

Thanks for the entertainment. With this knowledge, I could become a psychoanalyst, but I don't have enough money to buy the special couch.

[demosthenes]

I enjoyed the test very much and wasnt very suprised except the last question were I said I took a boat across and in reality sex means a lot to me so I dont see how that question really works.

[Boomer]

Did not fit too well:

1. Walked with my cat

2. Saw my cat (duh)

3. Played with it (duh)

4. Went to the abandoned hunting hut I use for testing stuff. It is completely gone except for the basement.

5. Nothing around of course, see 4.

6. No table, only fragmented concrete and shredded lead wires ... :D

7+8. It is ceramic and I blow it up to test a cap

9. A muddy hole I use for underwater blasts

10. I dont cross it, but get the fuck back home before the cops come... :D

P.S. My cat died this summer. Does that mean I am a lonely pyro? Didn't need a test for that.

BTW The cat died at age 15, in my bed, NOT at the test site!!!

I think its a very clever test but that the real psychoanalysis happens in the subsiquent hours while you try and work out why you thought of the things you did.

What I confess to not understanding is why people having done the test are so keen to tell the world about the results. If this had been an inkblot test would the thread be full of lists like,

1. My pet rabbit before the experiment.
2. My pet rabbit after the experiment.
3. My pet rabbit 3 months later when I finally got the courage to bury the remains.
4. My dads car after I drove it into a shop window.
5. The face of the demon that told me to.
6. Me standing over the body of my last victim.
7. Me on the throne of England.
8. The clump of trees neer a mass grave I once dug.
9. The headless bodies of both my parents slumped in a corner.
10. My favorate teddybear 'snugglewuss' that was given to the recyclers by my parents when I was little IHATETHEM IHEATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATETHEM IHATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM IHATE THEM.

ohmygod the demon looks like... looks like.... like.... snugglewuss

True answers

Hey jager you smartass, how the fuck do you cross a stream with a boat :D

[ProdigyChild]

This test was probably mode to give most reliable results for average people.
Pyros are not. They tend to be out in the woods for testing. They don't see pure imagination but see what they've seen before - in reality.

I saw a cat - the one that happens to cross my way sometimes. As always, it keept standing for a while, so did I.
The house was a real one, with no fence around it. It's left alone for quite a while, so my imagination was an empty, old, wooden table, a chair and a window.
The cup was a funny red plastic one. I picked it up, watched it and put it back again, where it used to be.
The creek I saw had a bridge over it, so no need to get wet!

There could be an ocean instead of the creek, so my sexual desire must be quite low. With the bridge over it, the importance of my sex life must be almost zero!

Poor bastard, me!

I'd prefer the test to be like that:
1. You are carrying something with you. You are walking in the woods. What are you carrying with you?

2. You are walking in the woods. You see a stick. What kind of stick is it?

3. What interaction takes place between you and the stick?

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream box. Describe its size?

5. Is your dream box secured by a lock?

6. You open the box. You look inside. Describe what you see and what you plan to do with it.

7. You close the box and step backward. Lying in the grass is a cap. What material is the cap made of?

8. What do you do with the cap?

9. You run away and hide behind a plant. What kind of plant is it?

10. What will you do behind the plant?
