I've never been a big fan of these tests, but I wanted to relate something that happened when I was in the Navy: [/list:u] They decided to give us these tests and as part of the test, the shrink would hand you a blank piece of paper and ask, "What do you see?" There's no "correct" answer, it's one of those "free association" kind of things. [/list:u] Anyway, when he gave the blank paper to one of my shipmates, they guy looked at the shrink and asked, "What are you trying to pull?" Before the confused shrink can answer, my shipmate said, "The damn things upside down!!" Got up and walked out! :rofl:

Yeah, he was from New Jersey, and he had the whole "New York/New Jersey" attitude to the max. He was actually a real funny guy, and I think he lived for moments like that where he could upset the applecart. [/list:u]

LOL, reminds me of a "test" we did once in school, to see how well you followed written instructions. There was a list of 50 written instructions, the first being "Read every instruction before beginning" and the second one was "Write your name on the top of the sheet". All the rest were things like "Circle all the even numbers on the page" and "Underline all the words beginning with the letter "b".... Except the last instruction, which simply said "Only complete instruction 1 and 2 and then stop"

Caught EVERYONE out, including me :P

It said I was a Type 6 but then the test doesnt allow for me being careful around horses, 1200 babies who like having their way. Or my paranoia about my ex who spent a fair amount of time harassing me over the years.
My husband said the test was Very Inaccurate. :victory:
