Interesting fun test

[lurkings]

I have done this before and it was pretty accurate... So I wanted to give all you a chance, if you wanted to, to do it. It has only a few questions. Write down the first thing that comes to your mind and do not try to rationalize it. For example if one of the questions asked, "what were you wearing while you were sitting outside in the summer?" If your first responce is a Parka than that means something. If you change your first response then you won't get your true meaning. If you have questions on you individual one please ask... I would be happy to explain!!! Have fun.

1. You are walking through the woods with someone, who is it?

2. You come up to an animal what is it?

3. What do you do when you see the animal?

4. You come to a house briefly describe it.

5. Your walking and there is a cup on the ground, describe the cup.

6. What do you do with the cup?

7. You come to water, describe what you see?

8. How do you get across the water?


Okay the meanings... Don't change them now!

1. That is who is most important to you in your life right now. Don't worry if it is not who you expected.

2. The animal represents problems in your life... How you percieve them.

3. This shows how you handel problems.

4. This represents you asperation. It could be a huge mansion or a small cottage. Does your house have a fence? If it does then you might be weary of people.

5. The cup describes your relationship with the person in the first question.

6. Did you throw it out? That means you might not take a lot before leaving. Or did you put it up or hold it?

7. This is your ego. This is not how you view yourself but when you are in a situation how much does it revolve around you?

8. Did you get into the water? That shows how much you are willing to see both sides of a disagreement.

1. My favorite brother.

2. Bengali Tiger.

3. I admire it, then let it sniff my hand.

4. It´s a Swiss chalet.

5. A gold cup adorned with greek goddesses.

6. I pretend I´m drinking from it.

7. A lake with a huge iceberg.

8. I swim!

OK, that was fun. Now I´ll look at what it means!

[Lilya]

But what is this?

Ok, Ok, my brother is probably the most important person in my life right now, we´re raising his daughter together!

Yes, I get it with the animal. Good, good.

I´m disappointed with the chalet. I thought I had higher goals in life.

I did absolutely not get question number 6. and 7. Explain please, preferably in French! LOL Can my ego be an iceberg? If so, how do you explain that? And what about the cup? PM me, if you want to keep the explanations a secret.

It was fun!

Use adversity

This is a recipe for relaxation from a hard day...okay.

1. You are walking through the woods with someone, who is it?

My 14 year old Dalmatian.

A Raccoon

3. What do you do when you see the animal?

It's a stone cup, Aztec?

I should have read the interpretations...actually, it's really a telling exercise

[ksos]

I don't understand the Raccoon in terms of how I handle problems, though....

[Captain Morgan]

If this test has any accuracy. well then I am truely afraid for myself, haha. I can't take this very seriously though....or should I?

My answers:

1. I won't give her name, but a girl I should have forgotten about a long time ago.

2. A fox

3. Shoot it

4. A mansion...that's all I thought of; no details

5. It's a pee cup, maybe like one used in a drug test or something a homeless person would use.

6. I pee in it

7. waves

8. I run across

Yikes!!! I wish there was a way I could break up with myself.

[Lilya]

This is getting more and more interesting!

Lurkings, come out and explain to us.

Ksos, some egos we both have! You a Japanese exotique fish and I´m a huge iceberg! Well, well. I also think I get it with the racoon, but I won´t take the pleasure of explaining from Lurkings. This is her game.

We all go into the water, but Captain Morgan actually runs on it. In other words, we deal with it!

Here is a riddle: Describe the object:

The object fits the person perfectly but the person who owns it doesn´t wants it and does not think he´ll need it. However, he gets it.
What is it?

Now I'm dying to know! Lilya! Tell me. I am an exotic big fat goldfish--let's just hope I don't hit an iceberg like a boat!

I love these riddles. I'm tempted to say underwear, but that's too easy. How about a mirror?

[Captain Morgan]

I don't mean to be crass, but I would say a little man with a small dingy. He probably doens't want what he's got, it fits him perfectly since he is a little man, and he would probably come to the conclusion he's not going to be needing it. Sorry, but it's your fault Lilya for asking, haha. I give up. What's the answer?

[Bonni]

Well lets see what it does for me!
1. A man, I cant place who it is.
2. A rabbit
3. I just watch it.
4. A brick house w/smoke coming out of the chimmney.
5.A white heavy looking cafe style coffee mug.
6.I pick it up.
7.A running stream
8. I wade across it.

[Bonni]

((Lilya))

His personality?

[lurkings]

Yikes! A lot to reply to!! Cool!

~Lilya
Freud describes ego as, "reason and good sense." The body of water its self represents your ego. I also had a lake but I waded through a little of the water and then got into a canoe. *A small row type boat*. This is saying about me that I am willing to see what I am causing in a situtation as well as what the other person is causing. Thinking about other people basically... Another example is my friend whom also had a huge lake but used a motor boat to get across. She never, *in reality* likes to look at the other persons side and doesn't alwasy know why things can't just be her way. For you, you are always looking at things from everyones perspective. Just like your post on dreams and how you give your interpretation on it... Help any?

The cup... I think you are getting a lot out of helping your brother raise his daughter. You said that you "lost" you children in one message and perhaps this is a way of helping you and you are taking in as much as you can. That is my thought... My cup was styrofoam and I just carried it...

Don't be disappointed with the chalet. I had a very small cottage but the outside was lucious green grass. When I posted this thing I didn't expect to get responses and look... My goals weren't high... But in school a strive for those grades and I want a PHD!

[lurkings]

~Ksos,
The racoon represents the size of problems when they appear to you. When you encounter a problem they are about medium size. A friend of mine encountered a bear in her walk. To her a problem always appears huge!!!! And that is so true of her in our job.

Mine was a rabbit, actually the rabbit was as big as a racoon, but fluffy and white... I walked away. I hate confrontation even if it is a small white fluffy problem...

Make any sense?

[lurkings]

~Captian Morgan,
Where do I begin? (j/k)
Problems to you don't appear big but they ones you encounter you handle and take charge... Get it done!

The cup although doesn't seem like much, if you think about it sometimes that little cup holds a lot in it... Results to a drug test and something a homeless person needs... *My thoughts* You pee in it though. You don't, it seems, to care much for the relationship. I could be wrong though. The test is subject for error.

You not willing to see the part you play in a disagreement. I know another fellow whos body of water was an ocean! He had to take a jet plane across it. He likes it his way and that is that. I would almost venture to say your a first or only child.

[lurkings]

~Bonnie,
You seem introverted! Intersting that you can't place who this guy is but some how he is important your life. I would venture to say that perhaps this person is another side of you. *Not that this is true but just a crazy explaination* Not like a multiple personality but a desire or something like that... Hmm.. The relationship has some substance because it is a glass you can break and you carry it with you. Perhaps it is even a stranger that you met one time and they said something to you that has meant something to you... You had very interesting answers Bonni! Cool! Rock on!

[lurkings]

I am going to tell you mine!

1. My friend T.

2. A white fluffy rabbit

3. I walk away

4. A small cottage with rich green grass and a porch

5. A white styrofoam cup

6. I pick it up, look at it, even smell it to see what was in there and take it with me

7. A lake

8. I walk a little bit then paddle in the canoe...

Now you all know a little more about me.

[Lilya]

Lurkings,

Thanks for explaining. I still don´t see how "pretending to drink" from my golden greek cup explains my relationship with my brother; it´s a quirk of mine. When I see a beautiful cup, I put it to my lips. Maybe you´ll explain more later when you have time.

Ksos,
I like racoons and it´s a fun way to look at the problem. You send your faithful friend, Dottie, after him, meaning, you seek help in dealing with your problems. I admire mine, and let them sniff my hand.

Our egos seems quite good , at least we don´t have mediocre ones.

And the answer to the riddle is:

A coffin!

Use adversity

[Captain Morgan]

Hey lurkings,

Your assessment is completely opposite of how I see myself. Maybe this explains why I feel so conflicted. Problems appear huge to me, many times little ones I should probably overlook. On top of that, I run from problems rather than confronting them; I'm working on that...I think. Fun test though! Thanks!

Lilya,

A coffin? I was way off. Who would have thought?

[Juls]

Oh man, I'm all messed up. LOL

I envisioned a huge crystal clear lake, like Lake Tahoe, and I take a boat across. I must have a HUGE ego. I'm with an ex boyfriend, but I think that's because he is the only guy I've ever been in the woods with. He is definitely not the most important person in my life. I encounter a Big Bear and run from it, LOL. I see a log cabin, and a china cup that I carry with me.

Juls

[Captain Morgan]

Oh yeah...I'm the youngest of three children.

[woodtick]

Good thread Lurkings!
I enjoy this kind of stuff.




1. You are walking through the woods with someone, who is it?

My pending ex-wife.


2. You come up to an animal what is it?

My labrador companion.


3. What do you do when you see the animal?

Call her, pet her and praise her.


4. You come to a house briefly describe it.

Two story, attached garage, weathered cedar siding.



5. Your walking and there is a cup on the ground, describe the cup.

Short, coffee type, made of tin with a tin handle


6. What do you do with the cup?

Pick it up, examine it, and wonder who it belongs to.


7. You come to water, describe what you see?

Reflection of opposite shoreline.


8. How do you get across the water?

Old Alumacraft fishing boat with a 10 horsepower Evenrude outboard motor.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. That is who is most important to you in your life right now. Don't worry if it is not who you expected.

My pending ex-wife.

This makes sense.

2. The animal represents problems in your life... How you percieve them.

My labrador companion.

I love my problems and like when they are present. Oh-Oh, I've got trouble!


3. This shows how you handle problems.

Call her, pet her and praise her.

Invite the presence of problems and adore them. God, I need help! Maybe this is why I've had so many problems in the last few years.

4. This represents your aspiration. It could be a huge mansion or a small cottage. Does your house have a fence? If it does then you might be weary of people.

Two story, attached garage, weathered cedar siding.

A doctor's house. I was laying oak flooring there today. I think my response may have been biased because I just left there and I still have thoughts of the job in the back of my head. I need a trouble tree! LOL! (see http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...&threadid=21893)

5. The cup describes your relationship with the person in the first question.

Short, coffee type, made of tin with a tin handle

It could mean I view her as simple, practical, not fancy and I hate to say it but, useful.

6. Did you throw it out? That means you might not take a lot before leaving. Or did you put it up or hold it?

Pick it up, examine it, and wonder who it belongs to.

Just before our wedding a friend said "so you two are getting married." Our response was "yeh, we are so compatable." It was not "We are so much in love." It was aparently a marriage of compatability. Maybe I subconciously knew she wasn't mine.

7. This is your ego. This is not how you view yourself but when you are in a situation how much does it revolve around you?

Reflection of opposite shoreline.

I keep it distant.

8. Did you get into the water? That shows how much you are willing to see both sides of a disagreement.

Old Alumacraft fishing boat with a 10 horsepower Evenrude outboard motor.


I always listen to opposite points of view and consider them. I understand I may be wrong and I attempt to pursue the truth usually, even if I don't like it or it is not what I desire. I'm usually careful and hesitant to abandon my points of view. The old, slow but steady fishing boat my grandfather had certainly represents this.

~Captin Morgan,
What is the age difference between you and your sibilings?

[lurkings]

~Woodtick,
I like these kind of fun little tests also. I liked your responses and how you interpreted them cool!!

[Captain Morgan]

I have a brother who's 3 years older than me and a sister who's 5 years older. BTW, how do you interpret your styrofoam cup answer? Does it mean your relationship is fragile and not worth much? However you did take it with you so it must be somewhat important to you.

[lurkings]

~Captin Morgan,
I took it as something simple and pure. Simple, a styrofoam cup and pure because it was perfectly white.
