I went to my classmate's house today to make our project on designing a bottle using mini-origami. After a few chitchat, she mentioned a Psychological Test she heard from a friend of hers in church activities. She asked me a few questions. Here goes:
--------------------------
SCENARIO: You are lost in a forest and you continue on walking.
1. WHILE WALKING, YOU STUMBLE UPON A KEY LYING ON THE FLOOR. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
A. PICK IT UP AND TAKE IT WITH ME
B. I'LL JUST IGNORE IT AND CONTINUE ON WALKING
ANSWER: I'll just continue on walking...
2. AS YOU CONTINUE, YOU SAW A TREE BLOCKING YOUR WAY. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
A. I'LL MAKE A WAY TO GET RID OF THE TREE
B. I'LL JUST FIND SOME OTHER PATH
ANSWER: I'll try to get rid of the tree
3. AS YOU WALK, YOU SEE A HOUSE. DESCRIBE WHAT YOU EXPECT IT TO LOOK LIKE.
ANSWER: I imagine it as simple. A bungalow type. Just simple, a place with something to eat and to rest at.
4. YOU WANT STRAIGHT TO THE HOUSE. AS YOU KNOCK THE DOOR, SOMEBODY CAME TO OPEN IT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SOMEBODY TAPS YOUR BACK. THINK OF A PERSON THAT REMINDS YOU OF THE ONE WHO WILL OPEN THE DOOR AND ANOTHER AS THE ONE WHO TAPS YOUR BACK. WHO ARE YOU GOING TO LOOK AT FIRST?
ANSWER: The one who will open the door reminded me of my crush since childhood. And the one who taps my back reminded me of a very close friend of mine. I'll face the one who will open the door first. Then I'll face the one who tapped my back.
5. AS YOU ENTER THE HOUSE, WHAT PARTICULAR PART OF THE HOUSE ARE YOU GOING TO FIRST?
A. LIVING ROOM
B. KITCHEN
C. BEDROOM
D. COMFORT ROOM
ANSWER: I'll go to the Living Room first.
6. AS YOU OBSERVE AROUND, YOU SAW A WITHERED ROSE IN A VASE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
A. I'LL JUST LEAVE IT THERE
B. I'LL REPLACE IT WITH A FRESH ONE
ANSWER: I'll replace it.
7. THE HOUSE OWNER ASKS YOU TO REPLACE THE WATER INSIDE THE FLOWER VASE. HOW MUCH ARE YOU GONNA PUT IN?
A. JUST A LITTLE
B. JUST HALF
C. I'LL FILL IT 100%
ANSWER: I'll just put a half.
8. AS YOU GO OUT OF THE HOUSE TO GET WATER, YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND SUDDENLY YOU SEE A BEAR. DESCRIBE THE BEAR YOU IMAGINE.
ANSWER: I imagine the bear as a wild one but surprisingly friendly and playful.
--------------------------
THE ANSWER KEY:
1. The key represents OPPORTUNITY. Your answer reflects on how you feel its presence and how you deal with it. (My friend interpreted me as a person who chooses my own opportunity.)
2. The tree blocking your way represents PROBLEMS. (Since I answered "I'll get rid of it", then I face my problems with all my guts.)
3. The description of the house means either your DREAM HOUSE or A HOUSE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH. (Our house is not a bungalow type but its just simple)
4. The one who opens the door is THE ONE YOU LIKE BUT DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. While the one who taps your back THE ONE WHO LIKES YOU BUT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. (I'm quite impressed since the one I thought to open the door was the one I really like. I'm not sure for the one who tapped my back.)
5. When you go to:
Living Room - You are a POLITE person.
Kitchen - You're the PERPETUALLY HUNGRY type.
Bedroom - Its either you're a MALICIOUS person or a LAZY type.
Comfort Room - You're a DIRTY person (not literally) who needs cleaning a lot.
(I'm the perpetually hungry type - I admit it! - but I'm not the type of person who will just eat when I'm at someone else' house.)
6. The withered rose represents THE PAST. It can be a past relationship or something from the... past. If you ignored the flower, it means you still can't move on from the past. If you choose to replace it, it means you're ready to move on and let yourself bloom into a whole new life.
7. The water represents HOW MUCH LOVE YOU GIVE. (My friend told me that the way I love is not little and not too much, just right. It can also mean that I love equally)
8. Description of the bear represents QUALITIES OF THE ONE YOU LIKE THAT YOU NEVER EXPECTED HIM/HER TO HAVE. (What I answered just hit the jackpot!)
