Personality Test

Has anyone ever told you about “the cube?” While sitting on a patio under the beautiful sun and drinking delicious cocktails, one of my crazy friends told me to close my eyes because she wanted to try something. At first I was creeped out. Then she started directing me to picture things and answer questions.

Picture a cube. How big is it? Is it on the ground or in the air? Now picture a ladder. How close is it to the cube? How tall is it? Now flowers. How close are they to the cube? How do they make you feel?

Now picture a horse. Is he moving towards the cube or away? What’s his personality like (I struggled with this one the most because I couldn’t imagine a horse with a personality, except for Mr. Ed of course)? Now you see a storm. How bad is it? Is it moving towards or away from the cube?

Then she proceeded to tell me what my answers meant, and for the most part I agree with the reflection this had on my personality.

My cube was quite large, which corresponds with my self-image and ego, meaning that I am confident and think a lot of myself (I think we all knew this). My cube was on the ground, which means I am grounded and practical.

The ladder was leaning against my cube and represents my life goals. The fact that is was so close to my cube means that I am very focused on my goals right now. It was tall, meaning I have a lot of ambition.

The flower was close to the cube meaning that my friends mean a lot to me. The horse represents my ideal lover, which can explain why I had such difficulty answering questions about him. He had a shiny brown coat; that is all I know. I do like tall, dark and handsome guys.

The storm represents problems in my life. My storm was large, which means I have some issues to work through.

While I didn’t have an “ah ha moment” as Oprah calls it, it was a fun activity. Try it out on a friend and see if it works for you.
