    Default Cubism

    So I've been introduced to a personality test in Psychology class not too long ago. It's called "The Cube". Basically it goes like this:

    ~Imagine a desert landscape. It's very simple... horizon, sand, sky, whatever you see when you think of a desert.

    ~In this desert there is... a cube!
    What does the cube look like?
    What's it made of? What color is it?
    How big is it?
    Is it sitting on the sand, or in some other position?
    How close or far away is it to the sky?

    ~In this desert there is also a ladder.
    Where is it (in relation to the cube)?
    What is it made of (i.e. is it leaning against something)?
    What position is it in?
    Does it have many rungs, or a few rungs?

    ~In this desert there now appears... a horse.
    Where is the horse?
    What breed is the horse?
    What color is it?
    What is it doing?
    Does it have on a saddle or bridle, or not?

    ~Now, somewhere in the desert there is a storm.
    What kind of storm is it?
    Where is it?
    And does it affect the cube, the ladder, the horse, or not?

    ~Finally, somewhere in the desert are flowers.
    Where are they (in relation to the cube, ladder, horse, storm)?
    What kind are they?
    Are they many or few?
    Scattered or clustered?

    I reccomend looking at this after you've answered your questions:
    (SPOILER)The cube represents you.
    The ladder is your friends.
    The horse is your ideal, or future lover.
    The flowers represent children.

    -----------------------------
    For all you bored people out there like me here's something to keep you occupied. Really, it's better if another person gives you your answers, but after you answered each question. You can find your answers here. I'd like to know any interesting things you guys have gotten. I'll post my answers later on, possibly.

    Alot of flowers can mean that your life's work will involve children. So maybe you will be a teacher, or something.

    The problem with this is that the significance of Cubes, Ladders, Horses, Storms and Flowers are different to different people. For example, when I think of cubes I automatically think of those cubes you see in text books. When I think of Horses, the only one that springs to mind is Agro from SotC.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    <b>~In this desert there is... a cube!
    What does the cube look like?</b>
    It's made of cubey material... clear stuff :</>D It's shiny blue with water inside! It's about the same size as my head xD Sitting on the sand.

    ~In this desert there is also a ladder.
    It's behind the cube. It's standing and it is very tall ^-^

    <b>~In this desert there now appears... a horse.</b>
    It appeared on top of the cube, the cube breaks and all the water leaks out and I go, "NOooooooo" and suffer a horrible death from dehydration. Is this taking it too far? Well, it sort of looks like Psychotic, too, all brown and poo colored. I'm bored now xD Too many questions.

    <b>~Now, somewhere in the desert there is a storm.</b>
    Tropical rain storm, whohoo. It blows everything away ^_^

    <b>~Finally, somewhere in the desert are flowers.</b>
    All over the place :</>D The tropical rain storm made the desert a lush and beautiful place with tons of blooming flowers <3 Yay. The end.

    Now what.

    Edit: LMAO at the spoiler tag XDDD Hahah @ the horse one. What did the tropical rainstorm have to do with anything, though? I hate this thingmajig! *quits life*

    It's stupid, yet you went through the trouble of posting your answers...

    Well, as is true with all of these types of "tests" they are effective to a point. A lot of the answers I got were completely off. Interpretation isn't a black and white situation, which is why listing a certain set of interpretations on the net doesn't work. If this test was given by a trained psychologist whom I had met with before, than the answers would me more meaningful and probably more accurate.

    But anyway, good times...

    I cheated and looked at the spoiler before even reading the beginning of the post. What does that mean?

    Ahahaha! Don't worry, you're not the only one who had the horse eating the flowers. This girl in my class said that too and we all started laughing. It just means that your lover won't want children.

    Oops.

    (SPOILER)Storm represents conflict.

    This is all from a book written by a psychiatrist.
