The Real You

This is supposed to be a small questionnaire that will tell you, and maybe me, who you really are. You only need to have some understanding of the human psychology, an open mind and very little time.1

I don't want any thought-out answers. The only way of knowing your true self is this: search deep inside, without thinking. Your mind is trying to mask your real personality. Let everything out. Answering this should take you up to five minutes. No more than a few seconds per answer please, or you're just fooling yourself.2

Part 1. 3

The key word for getting to know yourself better is BRAINSTORM. What's your first instinct in a desperate situation? Do you follow your heart or mind? This first part is meant to go like this: I'll give you twenty or so words. You should only read one at a time. In 5 seconds or less, decide what that word makes you feel. Write down the VERY FIRST word that comes to mind. If I say 'swim' and you answer 'tomato', it's just fine. I'm not looking for a rational answer - that wouldn't really say who you are. Feel and react, don't think.4

Part 2. 29

Here, I'll ask some easy questions on general knowledge. You have two options: you probably know the answer to most of the questions I ask, so you can either answer correctly or give an inaccurate answer. Whichever you choose, it says something about you. Don't think, react. Write the answers down immediately. You can give absurd answers or whatever, but DON'T let your mind decide.30

Let's start...31

What is 1+1?32

What is your name?33

What year is it?34

Is an orange sweet?35

Is water solid, liquid or gas?36

Without using words derived from it, what is the best antonym of 'funny'?37

Don't think at all: is year 2005 past, present, or future?38

What does 'people' mean?39

How do you communicate?40

What is darkness?41

Part 3.42

Now start writing. You heard me. Write whatever you want, and I'm not giving any clues here. But don't think. What you understand from this says a lot about you.43

Part 4.44

Don't think. Look up. What do you see?45

Now write one word. Whatever comes to your mind.62

Part 9.63

Why did you take this test?64

Now take a little break, then come back and read your answers again. Now it's time to do the thinking. Try to see how you made connections and choices. No need to write anything. Just meditate and discover for yourself what self you just revealed. You may be surprised.65

    Part 2.

    Here, I'll ask some easy questions on general
    knowledge. You have two options: you probably know
    the answer to most of the questions I ask, so you
    can either answer correctly or give an inaccurate
    answer. Whichever you choose, it says something
    about you. Don't think, react. Write the answers
    down immediately. You can give absurd answers or
    whatever, but DON'T let your mind decide.

    Let's start...

    What is 1+1? '2'

    What is your name? 'Steve'

    What year is it? 1921

    Is an orange sweet? yes

    Is water solid, liquid or gas? solid

    Without using words derived from it, what is the
    best antonym of 'funny'? furious

    Don't think at all: is year 2005 past, present, or
    future? past

    What does 'people' mean? group

    How do you communicate? well

    What is darkness? a path

    Part 3

    Now start writing. You heard me. Write whatever you
    want, and I'm not giving any clues here. But don't
    think. What you understand from this says a lot
    about you.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Eagles submit portrait of sublime sustenance ...
    sturdy is the mount we sail upon shelves, corrupt
    and content. Corner cause creates caustic
    contention, smears of sultry slipperies and sordid
    pathogens. parade under the moniker, pus, for I
    reminisce on feather fringes and fly on sulken
    statues. Statute of being, pummeled silently,
    under heavy breath and porous notion that one day,
    time will have death written in stone and graves
    will matter not, unto the living spirit.

    Part 4.

    Don't think. Look up. What do you see?

    a white aura, about a half inch, around a beige jacket hanging on a coat rack.


    Part 5.

    pink purple

    yellow sun

    italics quote

    sour simple

    smooth archaic

    What did this list make you think of? nothing

    Part 7.

    Did you just notice something odd? If so, what is
    it? no



    Part 8.

    Take a minute and read this:

    www.romanianvoice.com/poezii/poezii_tr/unwords.php6


    Now write one word. Whatever comes to your mind.
    'sappy'

    Part 9.

    Why did you take this test? did it out of curiosity

    i think that was an interesting test to get someone thinking about who they really are after it's all done and over with. it helped me to understand why most of my answers are mostly sad and depressing ones. thanks for being creative!!

    Thank you for your comment and applause. I'm sorry but this may take a while for me (to understand your results) because I'm still working on Pat's and tomorrow I'm starting school. But I should be able to send them to you in a few days or less. And no, I can't edit, because if I do I can't make things bold/colored. I'm sorry.
