Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, and
write down the FIRST thing that you visualise. Do not think about the
questions excessively. Don't read the end until you answer all eight
questions. When answering the questions, be specific with details
(like use the names, give sizes and description).
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 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,
metal, etc...)?
8. What do you do with the cup?
Have you answered all eight questions? If not, do that before
proceeding further.
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 your
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.
