The Dream House Psychological Test

[anndelise]

@Balzac

What are salawas?

As for the crocodiles in the moat around your house, I guess you really don't want to open up to anyone and will bite their head off if they try. And the crocdiles in your body of water, well insatiable aren't you?

she's a man-eater? :wink:

Completely hypothetical - are there any concessions for people allergic to flowers? What if food, people or flowers don't make you happy? What if you're perfectly content with a functional dining table?

You're supposed to go with the first idea that comes to your mind, no matter how irrational. It's not your attitude toward the items on the table that are supposed to reflect your general happiness, but the nature of the items themselves. I don't actually know anything about how the test was developed, but if I were to guess, I'd say the food, people and flowers would represent that you feel your basic needs aren't a worry.

I still want someone to analyse my moat problem :lol:

The fence is supposed to be purely yes/no, so I think the fence would be an enthusiastic "yes."

1. alone (although Erkki flashed for a second)
2. Wolf
3. The wolf is sneaky and sly. It wants to trick me. (very "little red riding hood", isn't it? :wink: )
4. Log cabin, 2 floors, 8 rooms.
5. No fence. (there's a pretty garden)
6. In the dining room, there's a large dark wooden table, large antique chairs around it, a chandelier above it (although the room is still kinda dark). Table is covered with the dessert course - wine and 5 star quality dessert - but there is no one sitting at the table.
7. ceramic coffee cup, it's broken.
8. I walk around it, because it has a spooky silent ghostly vibe.
9. The body of water is a small natural lake between the hills. Lots of plants and flowers and sun. Water is very clear and fresh-looking.
10. I walk around the lake, because there is no bridge. I would have to swim otherwise.


Erkki:
1. Alone.
2. Roe-deer.
3. They look at each other.
4. 14 m long facade, 2 floors+ the attic.
5. There is a fence, but it's more like a wall of natural stone.
6. On the table - a bowl of apples (which he is allergic to), around the table - chairs.
7. Glass
8. He drinks from it.
9. Lake (natural lake, similar to the one I described)
10. Swims across.

[Expat]

1. You are walking in the woods. Who are you walking with? Someone from my past

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. What kind of animal is it? A fox

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

We look at each other, then it runs away

4. You walk deeper into the woods. You enter a clearing and before you is your dream house. Describe its size. The size of a large house, not a mansion

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?
Yes

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.
The table is made for dinner, and the person of 1 is sitting there

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.)?
Glass

8. What do you do with the cup?
Put it away

9. You walk to the edge of the property, where you find yourself standing at the edge of body of water. What type of body of water is it (creek, river, ocean, etc...)
A creek

10. How will you cross the water?
I walk through it

Its really interesting seeing some of the similarities people wrote down (not that it means anything). Meeting a squirrel seems common, most people seem to see a white house with no fence. To be honest, I'm surprised so many people saw the table as laden with food/dishes.

So who's going to take on the job of analysis of all these stories :wink:

Analysis



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.

I like number 3 because of my answer... Peter makes fun of it as it runs away. Good times. It was easy to picture this because recently he and I were outside (I don't remember where or why) and a racoon ran across near by. He was like "do do do" like a trumpet, a similar sound to what he used to make when wasabi would march into the room. *sighs* I miss Wasabi.
