Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, and write down the FIRST thing that you visualize. Do not think abot the questions excessively!

1. You are walking 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 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?

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 kind of water is it?

TIME FOR ANALYSIS, folks! Check it out...(I'll post the answer in a wee bit, to make sure you don't cheat!)

[pygmalion]

Me? Cheat? :shock: :wink: Never! :roll: :lol:

[cocodrilo]

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 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 closed 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.

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.

[pygmalion]

So swimming across is sexier than rowing a boat? Just curious. :wink: ( Not that I have any intention of disclosing how I got across! :lol: :lol: )

[cocodrilo]

I walked right across it. Not afraid of water, however deep, heh heh! 8)
Doesn't mean you are SEXIER, it means how important sex is to you!

[Purr]

Very thought provoking.

(And based on my answers, I'm doomed. :( )

[pygmalion]

I actually got a nasty shock. The person I ws walking with is an estranged friend I haven't seen in a long time. Maybe I should make a call and try to make amends. (I'm not the one holding the grudge, but maybe I can apologize anyway, and make it better. :? )

At least it wasn't my ex, thank goodness! :lol:

That sounds like a great idea! :)

Hmmmmm . . . same for me . . . I was walking with my brother, who I havent' seen in a long time . . . but I have been calling and attempting to make amends . . I too, am not the one holding the grudge . . . I have apologized for something that I was not aware of. I'm the one who writes and calls and sends cards on birthdays and holidays and for 'just because' . . . I think, Jenn, it's something "we" need to take care of - no matter how we do it???? It's haunting us . . . :?

[Sagitta]

I'm also doomed according to this analysis. Bunch of hogwash, based on reality!

[pygmalion]

I don't necessarily buy the "analysis" wholesale, but I do find it interesting that, when free to think of anything or anyone in the world, I thought of one particular person. Hogwash maybe, but still, it tells me something is wrong. Loose ends and I just don't go well together. Maybe it's not the most important person in my life, no, but something in my subconscious mind wants that loose end tied.

[LauraB]

Well, the first question got me. It said 'you're walking alone; who are you walking with?' Uh, Nobody, you just told me I was walking alone...

[pygmalion]

Yes. When I got to that part I assumed that the phrase,"someone joins you," was left out. *shrug* :?

[Sagitta]

Ah ha!! Why assume that? Can't you be the most important person in your life? What keeps you going when you are alone? Those are the sort of questions that popped up in my head when I read thye first question.

I had some interesting musings on some of the others as well. So, in that sense, the survey has been a neat introspective exercise.

[danceguy]

Actually, this test went pretty well and I saw a huge, clear pond that I jumped into and splashed around...

I hope this means what I think it means. Yowza! :D ;) :D

SG

[pygmalion]

Ah ha!! Why assume that?

Uhhh... because the two statements, "You are walking alone," and "Who are you walking with?," are mutually exclusive? :roll: :wink: There's something strange about the wording of the first question -- it should allow you to decide whether you are alone or have company. The way it's written now is ambiguous.

I took a similar quiz a while back in which you were allowed to choose to be alone or to have company. I can't remember the wording, of course. At any rate, the assessment was that, if you were alone in your fantasy of the perfect surroundings, it was because you did not have enough solitude in your life. Hmm.

[cocodrilo]

PYGMALION & others-
I made a BIG typo there-
The first question should read:

1. You are not alone. You are walking in the woods. Who are you walking with?


I apologize and admit I wasn't wearing my glasses when I typed this(which I have just needed recently & don't want to admit I need... :cry: )

[pygmalion]

Don't worry. I make at least one typo in every single one of my posts (thank goodness for the edit function! :oops: :lol: )

And I can relate to the eyeglass denial phenomenon. I had perfect vision all my life until about three and a half years ago, when I was diagnosed with uvitis, which causing swelling of the eye from inside. By the time that bout was done, I needed reading glasses. My ophthalmologist thinks I should be grateful, since I could have been blinded. I, on the other hand, resent my damaged eyesight. My glasses are in the glove box of my car. :oops: :lol:

[ShyDancer]

This was fun! Dont know how much truth it holds but itcertainly brought a smile to my face!

1..well this person is pretty important but only as a friend!
2. Im pleased my problems are only the size of a SQUIRREL :lol:
3. Ok now this one got me... had "exhanged quick look" :shock:
4. I put huge :lol:
5 I had no fence!
6. food was top of my list :D
7. I put gold ...
8. ... I put take it inside???
9 & 10... these made me laugh.. I put a fishpond :lol: :lol: :lol: and I jumped over it :lol: :lol:

[cocodrilo]

The size of my problems was a small rodent. I'm glad I was walking in the woods with my sweetie! 8)

[Purr]

Well, the first question got me. It said 'you're walking alone; who are you walking with?' Uh, Nobody, you just told me I was walking alone...

That's what got me, too.

Let's try this again, with the right first question.

1. I'm not telling. But, it's someone special that I've liked for a very long time, and don't have the nerve to tell him.

2. A squirrel.

3. I watch the squirrel play. The squirrel isn't bothered that I'm there, and even comes up close to say hello.

4. Moderately sized house, natural materials, balcony, porch and open windows.

5. No.

6. I see a long dining room table surround by six chairs. The table has a white runner, with a flower arrangement or a glass vase on top.

7. China patterned teacup.

8. Take it back inside, wash it up and put it away.

9. I see a brook, leading into a small pond of water. It's similar (but nicer) to the brook and pond on the property where I grew up.

10. I can jump over the brook, or carefully walk across. I can walk around the pond.

Based on answers 7, 9 and 10, that's why I figure I'm doomed. :wink:

[MacMoto]

Hmm. I didn't even notice the "walking alone" part and still answered I was alone :oops:. Now that I'm not supposed to be alone, I can't think of anyone I might walk through the woods with. When I go for a walk, I always go alone. I'm not used to the idea of walking with someone else... :(
My cup was earthenware (durable but breakable??), but I didn't pick it up. Considering the answer to question 1 is firmly "nobody", I wonder what all this is supposed to mean...

At least I had fruits on the table. And no fence. All is not lost, I suppose.

[pygmalion]

Hmm. My cup was porcelain, and I picked it up, dusted it off, and put it on the back porch of my house before continuing my walk. Wonder what that means? :?

[Pacion]

Me? Cheat? :shock: :wink: Never! :roll: :lol:

I don't cheat either. :roll: I Google :twisted:
