Let's play a little game
There is a simple new post, typically Oliver Emberton, on his blog.
No, seriously read it. Only then, should you read on.
If you've not read it, and played the entire game, then you're ruining it for yourself.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Sure?
Ok.
That was your face when the secret was revealed.
It was, come on.
So, psychological tests. They can sometimes seem like the most enlightening of tools and sometimes, the silliest. How can we tell the difference?
The basis behind this particular game is it makes the players mind project it's own image onto routine, blank objects, like cubes and ladders. As it adds attributes to those objects those attributes can be, well, attributed to certain characteristics about the person's behaviour.
This is a fairly interesting way to glean information about people, and I have tested it on a samples (read: friends I could get hold of). The results were fairly accurate, if a bit vague. With friends, there was also the tendency to interpret the signs according to my perception of them.
So, why don't you give it a go? Ask a few people, gauge the result against their admitted characteristics, and hopefully, tell us about the results.
If you liked this, then you should read some of Oliver's best material. He's a great writer, and one of the first people that I bumped into when I ventured on Quora.
