As soon as you read a question, write the answer right away. Make sure to answer questions 1-10 before moving on.. NO CHEATING! Read the following questions, imagining the scenes in your mind, & write down the FIRST thing that you visualise. Do not think about the questions excessively.
1. You are not 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 & the animal?
4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing & before you is your dream house. Describe your dream house.
5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence?

This has been a relational psychology test developed at Harvard University.. The answers given to the questions have been shown to have relevance to values & ideals that we hold in our personal lives.
The analysis follows:
1. The person you are walking with is the most important person in your life.
2. The size of the animal is represntative of your perception of the size of your problems.
3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal id representative of how you deal with your problems.(Passive/aggresive)
4. The size of your dream house is representative of the size of your ambition to resolve your problems.
5. No fence is indicative or an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a close personality. You'd prefer people not to drop by unannounced.
6. If your answers did not include food, people, flowers, then you are generally unhappy.
7. The durability of the material with which the cup is made of representative of the perceived durability of your relationship with the person name in question 1. For example, Styrofoam, palstic & paper are all disposable. Metal & plastic are durable.
8. Your disposition of the cup is representative of your attitude towards the person in question 1.
