Psychological Test

[Blue Cow]

Hi

Apparently this is a genuine psychological test.

If anyone gets this right, please let me know and I promise I will be REALLY nice to you!! :D :D :D

Happy thinking....

Oooh,

I am as soft as anything, was nowhere near thinking of that answer !!! :)

Phew !!! :rolleyes:



:thumbs:

[Matthew]

Well....phew.......I got it wrong! :rolleyes:

I was trying to be clever too and had two different answers and still didn't get it correct! :lol:

[Beth]

glad I got it wrong then!!! :o

[hollygolightly]

:thumbs: I didn't know the answer!

Had a few possible ideas though ;) .

[freakyfun]

Weird stuff,

I thought that her sister had a secret marriage to the guy, so she murdered her to get her out of the way, just like in some Agatha Christie novels ... or something ...

[Mistyeyeddreamer]

I'd seen this a while ago and I didn't know the answer then :) Which is reassuring in a way ;)

[Annabel]

:D

The 'dream guy' was the priest undertaking the burial service I guess?

I thought the obvious, that the dream guy was her sisters fella and she was jealous of her sister and so killed her!! :)

[Eskander]

I seriously hope that the people who devised this were not serious. Why? because you have to be weird to even think up this proposed answer.

It's late in the evening after a glass of wine or several so I'm not best placed to detect irony. But, sorry this kind of psychological test strikes me as being desigened for nutters by fruitcakes (or vice versa) - but then again, I may be one or both of these.

Where am I?
What day is it?
Are there fairies at the bottom of my garden?
Pardon?

Is this the Spanish Inquisition again?

Important to remember that psychological tests are desingned by pyschologists,

nuff said! (with, of course, apologies to any pyschologists on this forum - I'm a civil servant so do your worst(

[Blue Cow]

Eskander....you haven't said whether you guessed it right :unsure:

I'm a bit worried (just a bit mind you!!) :unsure:

[mazza]

:lol:

Esk,

HOW much have you had this evening??!

:P :wine: :hihi:

[Eskander]

Oh dear, always a mistake to post after a glass of wine. Two questions and too late at night. Ok, here goes:

Blue Cow. I would never have got the right answer in a million years - a seriously weird answer which could only have been devised by psychologists (almost certainly american ones). No need to worry, by the way - just a late-night senior moment.

Mazza: "How much have you had?" - not enough, probably!

Still, time for bed as Zebedee said

[tristar]

Oh Well

At least I'm not a psychopath :hihi: :lol: :hihi:

Yes...I got it wrong too :lol:

Tri :D

[freakyfun]

Hey all .. how about this one? Have a go, then I will post what the different responses 'may' mean ... ;)

FF

*******************************

Question 1
You are taking a walk in the woods and someone is with you. Who is the person with you?

Question 2
As you walk through the woods, you see an animal in the distance. What kind of animal is it?

Question 3
You walk closer to the animal and observe its actions. What is the animal doing?

Question 4
After the animal runs off, you keep walking and shortly you see your dream house. You walks closer towards the home. Does it have a gate or fence around it?

Question 5
You slowly work your way to the house and walk inside. You see a table as soon as you enter. What is on the table?

Question 6
You walk through your dream house and go out the back door. You look down and notice a cup by your feet. What is the cup made of?

*******************************

[freakyfun]

How about this ... DON'T look at the answer before doing this as it will spoil it.

Say 14 in your head over and over and over again for 30 seconds.



Now think of a vegetable.


I'll write the answer backwards below

I bet you thought of 'torrac'

well ... more than 50% of you should have thought of it anyway

[Eskander]

That's rather odd - I did actually think of that answer ... Why? Can't work this one out witrh an equation, or even quantum theory. Is it just that it's the vegetable most people think of first anyway?

[freakyfun]

All will be explained later :)

FF

[goosegirl]

sorry but I thought of a turnip, or swede. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Dare I ask why a carrot.

GG.

[Eskander]

Possibly the orange text makes one think of that vegetable but I'm not convinced. You only say more than 50% should reach that answer so not a large majority. Perhaps if you just stopped people in the street and asked them to name the first vegetable that they think of you'd get the same answer. I can't belive that "14" has got anything to do with it.

[hollygolightly]

Re: FF's last poser, an e-mail went round a while ago with similar answer/response. It wasn't typed in orange (so that hasn't got anything to do with it) and you didn't have to say 14 :lol: .

I don't know why a high % say carrot. :huh:

Intrigued by FF's first poser - are we supposed to answer here?

[freakyfun]

You can answer here if you wish .. but when I post the results everyone will be able to see your personality traits (its a 'back of the envelope' psycometric test .. apparently)

The vegetable one is supposed to work by linking '14' with the gold standard '14 karat' .. people are used to thinking about 6, 14, 24 karat gold - so you are subconsciously adding 'karat' onto the end of 14. This is supposed to increase the probability of you saying 'carrot' .. apparently.

FF

[hollygolightly]

Best not then :rolleyes: :lol:

[mazza]

I thought of tomato from the beginning, then carrot came to mind, but at the end I made a conscious decision to stick with tomato!!! :lol:

So... it sort of worked??? :wacko:

I am too shy to answer the other q's :blush: :hihi:

(waiting for someone else to be brave!!)

[Blue Cow]

Well I don't mind telling you mine....

...I was walking in the woods with a.....sinister person following me

...the animal in the woods was a .....big wolf

....when I looked at the animal ....it was drooling

...the house....had no fence or gate

....the table...had flowers

...the cup is made of....well it was a normal coffe mug actually


Mmmm....don't think I need this explained to me.

:blink::blink::blink:

Blue "off to seek some therapy" Cow

:blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

[hollygolightly]

I'm stupid and sober :lol: But as BC's done it, I'll have a go:

OH
Horse
Bucking
Fence
Tablecloth and books
Glass

:blink: Next :blink: :lol: :huh: :lol: ?

[Beth]

I was walking with a priest or someone like that

the animal was a brown bear

it was sat on its hunches playing she loves me she loves me not with a big flower, you know picking the petals off

the house was a nice cottage with an arch way and fence but the fence had plants growing up it like a thick hedge but not a hedge

the table had a plate with knife and fork resting on it

outside the back door was a metal goblet

..........ok FF how mad am I??????

[hollygolightly]

Beth, if I were your therapist, I'd say you think you're Goldilocks :lol: :P .

[hollygolightly]

Which must mean BC's Little Red Riding Hood. :lol:

:blink: Who am I? :blink: :lol:

[Blue Cow]

Either that ......or National Velvet

;)

[freakyfun]

Well .. the interpretation is as follows ... (I don't take any responsibility for the voracity of these)

Question 1
Whoever you were with while walking in the woods.....Is the most important person in your life.

Question 2
How ever big the animal was, is how big your problems are. So if you saw a small animal like a bunny or a squirrel you don't have very many problems in your life, but if you saw a large animal like a bear,you have a lot of problems in your life.

Question 3
What ever the animal does, is how you react to your problems. So lets say your animal runs away, that means you run away from most of your problems. Or if it hurts you or any one in any way, you use violence to handle your problems.

Question 4
If your dream house has a gate or fence around it that means you don't like to have a lot of Company, and you'd rather people call you before they come over rather then just drop by. If your house doesn't have a Gate or Fence around it that means you like a lot of Company and you don't mind if people just drop by without calling first, and any one is Welcome to your house.

Question 5
If you are a happy person, then on the table you would have seen something like flowers, or fruit. But if you didn't, that doesn't mean you're not a happy person.

Question 6
How ever long your cup would last, is how long you last in relationships. So if your cup is made of paper you don't last very long in relationships. But if it is made of something that is strong, then you will have a lasting relationships.

[Mistyeyeddreamer]

Thanks FF, I found that one very interesting :)

However, I don't think I react to my problems by eating nuts ;) I'm not even a comfort eater :P And I wonder what keys on a table mean? hmmm.

But basically I'd say my answers fit pretty well in with your explanation :)

Misty

[Beth]

ummmm :huh:

I dont think I have that many problems!!

and as for my bear picking flowers.....what the hell does that mean??!?!?!?!

now I am worried I am unbalanced!!! :unsure:
and I thought I was fine before!!!

damn you FF!!!! :lol: :P

[Blue Cow]

Hi FF

Mmm......interesting.

But I don't think that a sinister stalker is the most important person in my life and I don't usually solve my problems by drooling either (or maybe I do but have never noticed before) :unsure:

Thanks :blink: anyway (I think)

[freakyfun]

now I am worried I am unbalanced!!!**
and I thought I was fine before!!!


Oops, sorry ... its just a bit of fun and should be taken with a pinch of salt ;) .. on the other hand ... (mu ha ha ha)

FF

[hollygolightly]

Again, again :lol:

[Eskander]

FF, while we are on the subject of psychology, you appear to have changed from the Spanish Inquisition to the quest for the Holy Grail ( I think). Is this significant, have you set your sights higher or are you just an incurable Monty Python fan - or are you just looking for Something Completely Different

[mazza]

:D heehehehe :D

I like it - I had a stag eating grass - I do wish that eating grass would sort my probs out !!! heehehehe!

On the whole though, it was probably quite apt :)

:thumbs:
