I took Psychology 101 my junior year of high school. In between learning about mnemonics and watching a movie about Sybil Dorsett, our teacher gave us the task of filling out this Projective Drawing Test. There are six boxes, each containing some shape (except for the last). Based on hundreds of minutes of credible study, psychiatrists are able to tell, based on what you draw into the box, what your problem is. What you do with each box opens a window into your soul. They say, "there are no right or wrong answers", so I did to this what I did to many of my tests, just without fear of reprisal. Still, this probably says a lot about who I am.
In case you can't see what the "original" shape was in each box, here's a key: 1) a series of contiguous right angles, 2) a solid dot, 3) a diamond in the center, 4) two parallel vertical lines, 5) two right angles, 6) blank.
1) If you made the angles into stairs, then you're a total conformist. I felt like I redeemed that indictment by having drawn the skateboarder executing a flawless, spark-emitting 50-50 grind, since skateboarders are all about displaying their nonconformity. All of them. Collectively.
2) If the dot is used as the center of the picture, then you're self-centered, you jerk! Looks like you can't get around this one.
3) If you use the diamond to create some sort of activity, it indicates that you are sociable. Polygonal torture bot, anybody?
4) If you intersect the vertical lines with horizontal lines, then you have some level of sex interest. I hope this isn't too much information, but I'd have to contest this one.
5) If you use the lines to create some mechanical object, it means you have a mechanical interest. Not sure how they figured this one out.
6) It's scientifically proven that blank spaces are opportunities to show your creativity.
