Associative test "desert". Psychological test "Desert": seven tasks for imagination Test about the desert and a jug of water

We once again offer you our assistance in the long, painful, but commendable process of self-discovery. Simply put, here is another psychological test, which, perhaps, will allow you to learn something new about yourself.

This time we appeal to your imagination - let's dream a little. Below, one by one, are 7 situations. Imagine each of them with maximum clarity and precision. If some of them seem surreal - don't be surprised: we fantasize. At the same time, do not run ahead and move in this order. Do you agree?

Situation 1. You are in the middle of the desert. What is she? What time of day is it now? How do you feel (uncomfortable, scared, curious…)?

Situation 2. You are walking on it. Where and why? How fast? Is it easy or difficult for you? Do you look around? If yes, what do you see?

Situation 3. You see a jug. What does he look like? Is it empty or full? How? What is it made of, how durable is it? What are you doing with it?

Situation 5. Suddenly, you notice a dog nearby. How does she look? What is her mood? How does she feel about you and how do you feel about her? What are you doing?

Situation 6. Suddenly, a stone wall 3 meters high blocks your way. She seems endless. You go 3 days in one direction - it does not end, you go back for a week - to no avail. What are your feelings? Thoughts? Actions?

Situation 7. You notice an oasis. Describe it. Is it a mirage or reality?

Now let's see what it all means.

Key 1. How you imagined the desert - this is how you unconsciously see your life. What is significant here is not the visual image that you have, but the attitude towards it. So, you may be either scared of empty space, or uncomfortable from the heat, or wondering - what is it and where am I ... That is, you will have the feeling with which you walk through life.

Key 2. Accordingly, your hiking through the desert is your life path. Again, what matters is how you feel about it. You go just like that or somewhere and for some reason - an indicator of your determination. If you look around - it means that you are actively interacting with reality, if you do not notice anything - you are a person immersed in yourself. If you imagined some kind of living creature or vegetation, then you are sociable and communicative; if in the desert you are the only living creature, do not be afraid: this does not mean that you are an egoist - you just have a desire for solitude.

Key 3. But the jug here symbolizes your loved one - a real or some imaginary image. What the jug is made of and how durable - that's how reliable a life partner you need. The appearance of the jug is your exactingness in appearance; contents - requirements for the mind, soul, knowledge ... If the jug is too large and you can hardly lift it, you attach unnecessary importance to matters of the heart; if it is very small, vice versa. Now remember what you did. If you haven’t paid attention to the jug, you still don’t need anyone; if you drank water from it and threw it away - you have a selfish attitude towards love; if you took it with you, you are already ready for a serious relationship.

Key 4. But the key you found is an indicator of how much you are subject to material values: money and so on. If, wondering, you missed the key, you are idealistic. If you couldn’t resist and “just in case the fireman” took the key with you, you are Scrooge number two. If you just took it out of curiosity to find out where it came from at all, or decided to return it to its rightful owner, this is perhaps the best way to interact with the world of things: you value it, but do not depend on it.

Key 5. The dog here is other people. Are you afraid of them, are you expecting a dirty trick and aggression (“an evil dog”), or, on the contrary, are you ready for communication and cooperation. They say that not everyone is capable of real friendship, just like real love; this part of the test will help you understand whether you can trust people at all, whether you are ready to share with them and take care of them (someone may be afraid to take a dog as a companion, since “you will have to share water with it”) - after all, without this there can be no friendship Maybe.

Key 6. And this situation will help to reveal how you feel about the problems and obstacles on the path of life. Someone will sit down and cry, someone will stubbornly walk along the wall (“It can’t last forever!”), someone will try to climb over, ram, dig, someone will wait for help, someone will turn back , someone will look for the door ... That is, your life strategy will manifest itself in a difficult situation for you.

Key 7. Oasis is your inner world. How rich, handsome, complex, durable he is ... And a very important point - is this image a mirage or reality? This will show the degree of your realism or, conversely, immersion in fantasy. In principle, one cannot say “good” or “bad” about either one or the other - we are all different, and each position in life has the right to exist.

The human imagination is rich and unpredictable, and, of course, all possible options cannot be foreseen. Therefore, be creative with the test and try to interpret those of your images that did not fall into the key. So, if there are other people in your desert - you are a sociable person, you have a great need for communication. Perhaps you are not very self-sufficient or you are lonely right now. If when you are walking, a strong wind blows towards you and you have to overcome resistance - you love difficulties, you definitely need to fight with someone or something, prove something to yourself. If at some point you imagined that the desert is already ending and you are leaving it - you are impatient, you don’t like to wait and you don’t know how, you always want to get the result right away ... And so on. There will probably be many options. The main thing is to be creative in interpreting the test ...

When a company suddenly becomes uninteresting (run out of money for beer, the last TV set is broken, or some other ambush occurs), only massive entertaining fun can save it from final decay (and where did I get this word from?). Like our test. It is specially designed for group solution. They say it was invented by Freud himself.

Read each question aloud carefully, and then also formulate the answer aloud. And look, do not peep the results in advance! So....

Questions

1. Imagine that you are in the desert. Describe your appearance: what do you look like, your clothes, what do you have in your hands? Don't forget about the desert: how do you feel in it, what does it look like?

2. You wander for a long time and suddenly - bam! Oasis - a wonderful little lake with crystal clear water and a small spreading palm tree. Your actions...

3. We continue the journey. On the way you come across a huge herd of horses. There are any horses that only exist in the world. Which one will you choose for yourself? And by the way, a stallion or a mare?

4. Now you are riding through the desert on a horse. You have already traveled several hundred kilometers, and Kobylkin's strength is running out. But here's luck - along the way you come across another oasis. Lake, palm tree - everything is as it should be. True, someone hung a sign on a palm tree: "Water is poisoned." And I want to drink so much! Your actions?

5. The sign lied, and you are back on the road. On the way you come across a new herd of horses. The old horse is completely exhausted and needs to be replaced. Who will you choose this time and what will you do with your old horse?

6. Finally you are in the city. A dwarf comes out of the open gate towards him. What will you do?

7. They said goodbye to the dwarf and the horse. In the hands of you accidentally turned out to be the keys to your alleged apartment in this city. You climb the stairs, open the door and... Describe how your apartment should ideally look like. Is it dark or is it light? Are there any people or pets? Fantasize about...

8. Having rested at home, you leave the entrance. On the way you come across an animal. What is this animal? (You can name any animal - from a dog to a wildebeest.) And how does he behave towards you?

9. You find yourself in front of a very (I emphasize - very!) high wall. You need to get over it, but there is no end in sight. How will you get out of the situation?

10. On the other side of the wall you find yourself in a luxurious apple orchard. It has any varieties of apples - green, red, yellow, unripe, overripe, carrion. The garden is just huge, but you have to choose the best fruit for yourself. How long will you look for it? Describe it externally. Will you eat it now or keep it in reserve?

11. From the garden you find yourself on the edge of the abyss. You need to get over it on a narrow bridge, which can only fit one person. You have already gone halfway, as towards you, out of nowhere, a nasty little dwarf appears. This midget categorically refuses to give way. How to solve a problem?

results

1. The desert is your life and your attitude towards it. If your desert is a calm, hot area, framed by dunes and rare thorns, then life turns out to be the same: even and peaceful, with a certain number of everyday problems. But if you are wearing a bulletproof vest and you have a Kalashnikov assault rifle in your hands, there is reason to think about who you are so aggressive and distrustful of. By the way, if you took only a player with you to the desert and forgot to put on a panama hat, then you are not a very practical person. And in general, in essence, still a child.

2. An oasis and a palm tree - this is your attitude to passions. If you, without hesitation, rush to swim, then in life you often take risks and are not averse to trying forbidden pleasures. And if you gently wet your feet and move on, it’s hard to seduce you.

3. Horses are sexual partners. If you choose a horse of the opposite sex to you (a stallion or a mare), then everything is in order with the orientation and bisexuality does not threaten you. But if it's the other way around...

The way you choose a horse for yourself indicates which qualities in a partner play the main role for you. Beauty, for example, or personal characteristics.

4. Poisoned water is a conflict situation between you and your partner. Your actions with the horse indicate how you behave with your soul mate - trying to put the blame on her (tasting the water on a horse) or deciding to "take the hit" (drinking yourself).

5. A new herd is a separation from the previous one and a search for a new one. Your actions in relation to the first horse show exactly how you part with people: ruthlessly abandon, immediately rushing to look for a replacement, or vice versa - trying to maintain friendly relations. If for the second time you choose a horse of the same sex as yours, this is already serious. If the first and second horses are similar, then you are looking for a specific person.

6. Dwarf - your health. How attentively and affably you treated the dwarf, just as much you care about your own body.

7. The apartment is your inner world. If the room is large, with open windows and a lot of light in it, then you are an open, friendly person, "the soul is wide open." If the windows are closed, you like to get hung up on your problems, and if it’s dark in it, then, apparently, you often get depressed. The presence of animals means hidden guilt for some misconduct, and those people who live in your apartment are the closest.

8. The animal at the entrance is how others see you. Who are you for them - an affectionate kitten or a tattered mongrel?

9. The wall means your ability to cope with depression and a gloomy state of mind. If the wall seems insurmountable to you, then, accordingly, it is simply dangerous to leave you alone in difficult moments. But if you bravely put your foot on a protruding brick - it remains only to envy your self-control.

10. Orchard - your sexual desires, temperament and fantasies. Inveterate womanizers will immediately cling to the juiciest fruit, picky bores with a complex character will take a long time to choose, insecure young ladies will first take an Antonovka, but then they will think about it and change it to Golden. But if you choose a carrion, then sex is not at all the main thing and not even a secondary one in your life. He doesn't seem to mean anything to you at all.

11. The conflict with the dwarf is your relationship with other people. If you do not waste time talking, but simply push the enemy off the bridge, then in reality you are capable of anything and often behave like a notorious villain. Attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully indicate a penchant for diplomacy. In general, the more original the solution to the problem, the more flexible and inventive you are in life. With which we congratulate you.

Associative tests... Some people trust them, others don't take them seriously, considering them a waste of time. Everyone decides for himself how he treats tests of this kind. But in any case, the test built on associations is another attempt to look into yourself.

So imagine that you are in the desert. Carefully consider your appearance - what you are wearing, how you look, what you have in your hands. How do you feel in this desert? How do you see her?
You've been wandering through the desert for quite some time. The heat is incredible and suddenly - an oasis! A small palm grove, a lake with clear water... Your actions?
You continue your journey through the desert and see a herd of horses. In this herd there are horses of absolutely all kinds and colors. Which one will you choose? Is that a stallion or a mare?
Now you are riding through the desert on a horse. The horse is already pretty tired, and so are you. And here again you meet an oasis on the way. Palm trees, a lake… You dream of finally quenching your thirst, but you notice the sign “Water is poisoned”. What will you do?
You are on the road again. We drove quite a lot, and suddenly you notice a herd of horses again. Your horse is almost exhausted, and you understand that it needs to be replaced. Who will you choose this time and what will you do with the old horse?
Finally, you left the desert and reached the city. A dwarf comes out to meet you. What will you do?
You have already said goodbye to the dwarf and the horse and now you are holding the keys to your apartment in your hands. You find a house, go up the stairs, open the door and... What do you see? What kind of apartment is it - light or dark? What is there? Are there people or pets there?
After resting from the road, you decide to explore the city. Get out of the house. I'll meet you an animal. What kind of animal is that? How does it behave towards you?
Walking around the city, you find yourself in front of a very high wall. You need to get over to the other side, and the doors or gates are not visible at all. What do you do?
Let's say you all got on the other side of the wall and ended up in a beautiful apple orchard. There are many different varieties of apples. You need to choose the best fruit. How will you choose it? Eat it or keep it in reserve?
You leave the garden and find yourself on the edge of an abyss that can only be crossed by a narrow bridge. Only one person can fit on the bridge. You have already reached half of the bridge, when suddenly a dwarf meets you - angry and completely unwilling to give way to you. How do you solve this situation?

Test key:

The desert is the personification of your life and your attitude towards it. If the desert looks in your imagination calm with dunes, rare thorns, then your life is the same - measured, calm, with a certain amount of difficulties. If you saw a sandstorm and you are generally afraid, then your life seems to you full of dangers and you are afraid to move forward.

If you saw yourself in the desert with a machine gun in your hands, body armor - there is reason to think about why you are so aggressive. By the way, if you saw yourself in the desert only with a player in your hands, completely light and even without panama - in life you are a very impractical person.

An oasis in the desert is your attitude to passions. If you throw yourself into the lake without hesitation, then in life you are a risky person and are not at all averse to trying forbidden pleasures. If you just washed your face, wet your feet, it is difficult to seduce you in life.

Horses are sexual partners. If you choose a horse of the opposite sex, you are all right with orientation. The criteria by which you chose a horse for yourself indicates what qualities of a partner you prefer in life (appearance or personal qualities).

Poisoned water in the lake is a conflict situation between you and your partner. Your actions in this situation show how you behave with your partner - shift all the blame on him (try the water on a horse) or decide to take the hit on yourself (try it yourself).

A new herd is separation from the previous one and the search for a new one. Your actions with the first horse show how you part with people: ruthlessly abandon, immediately looking for a replacement, or try to maintain friendly relations even after parting.

If the second time you chose a horse similar to the first, it means that you are looking for a specific person.

The dwarf you met at the entrance to the city is your health. The more attentive and friendly you are to the dwarf, the more you take care of your body.

The apartment is a reflection of your inner world. If it is bright, spacious - this means that you are an open, sociable person. If the windows are closed, you often get hung up on your problems. And if the apartment is also dark, then you are prone to depression.

The presence of animals in the apartment means guilt for some of your actions. The people who are there are the closest.

The animal that you saw when you left the house is how people around you see you. Who are you - a royal lion, an affectionate kitten or a miserable mongrel?

The wall is your ability to cope with depression and longing. If the wall seems completely insurmountable to you, without a single entrance - in difficult situations you cannot be left alone. If you still managed to climb over it, you can only envy your self-control.

The orchard represents your sexual desires, fantasies, temperament. If you immediately grabbed the juiciest fruit, it looks like you are a womanizer. Bores with a complex character will choose meticulously and for a long time. Insecure people will first choose one variety, then another ... If you prefer not to pick the fruit from the tree, but to pick it up from the ground, sex is not particularly important for you.

The situation with the dwarf on the narrow bridge is your relationship with people. If you, without entering into a long discussion, simply push the enemy off the bridge - in life you will calmly “go over the heads”. Attempts to resolve the conflict peacefully speaks of your tendency to compromise.

With this test, you can unravel the secrets that our subconscious mind hides. Imagine yourself in the situations that will be offered to you, and then describe "what you saw" while answering the test questions. To make it easier to decipher the results, write down your answers on a piece of paper.

1. Imagine that you are standing at the edge of a forest. The forest is still far away. How do you imagine it? High or low, big (in size) or not?

2. Now you are entering this forest. Describe it. How do you feel inside? What kind of forest? Which trees are dominated by pines, spruces or deciduous trees?

4. The forest ends and you suddenly find yourself in a hot desert. The heat is prohibitive, there are only dunes around. You are overcome by a feeling of hunger and thirst - after all, you have been here for several days. Fatigue is on the rise. You are barely dragging your feet, making your way through this heat to a place only known to you, and suddenly you find the key to the castle in the sand ... Examine it carefully. Describe what shape it has, what material it is made of. What emotions did you experience when you found the key? What will you do with it (leave it or take it with you)?

5. You have dealt with the key and are moving on. Around the same hot sand, exhausting heat. And you haven't rested in such a long time! The landscape has not changed for several days. And now, among this kingdom of sand, you saw a reservoir ... Isn't it a mirage? What are your emotions at this moment? What will you do (for example: rush to the lake, slowly approach the stream and wash yourself - everyone may have their own options for reservoirs and actions)? Would you rather stay by the water or move on?

6. The lake is left behind. You are back in the desert - slowly moving towards your goal. And suddenly you stumble upon a vessel ... Describe what shape it has, what material it is made of. Do you wonder what is inside it? Will you look into it? If yes, what will you see there?

7. You have examined the vessel and go further through the hot desert. The heat has exhausted you completely, but you do not stop. Suddenly there is a wall in front of you. It seems that it has no end, and you need to move forward... How did you feel when you "meet" with the wall? Describe this wall. What is it like (high, destroyed, impregnable ...)? What will you do to get over to the other side , or still prefer to stay on this one?

8. So, the wall was left behind. You walked through the desert for a long time, and, finally, "the reward found a hero" - you ended up in an oasis. It has everything you want. This is a real paradise on earth! You use all the benefits and enjoy life. And one fine day on the horizon you notice a moving caravan… What are your actions: will you go towards the caravan or hide in your paradise, or maybe you will just talk about what is happening in distant lands and come back?

Interpretation.

Now let's see what your answers say.

1 and 2 questions.

The forest and everything woody that comes across is connected with the intellect. The height and size of the forest correspond to the strength of the intellect and the vastness of knowledge. A look at the forest from the inside is a self-assessment of your level. The look from the outside is the evaluation of the evaluation. In other words: a person evaluates how other people evaluate him. This is the middle of the line:

I value myself.

I appreciate how other people evaluate me.

I evaluate how other people evaluate me, how I evaluate them and myself.

People with balanced self-esteem usually have the same dimensions of the forest inside and out.

If the forest consists mainly of pines, then the intellect is of a logical warehouse. If from deciduous - sensual. Well, and if from fir trees and fir trees, then the type of thinking is mixed (that is, it is difficult to single out a logical or sensual type).

If the forest is littered with windbreak and with ravines, then a person is in the process of solving global problems. This happens if the picture of the world around seems complex and confusing. More difficult than others think.

3 question.

The monster describes your attitude towards enemies and how you imagine them. Your actions towards the monster describe your behavior towards your detractors.

The 4th item of the test shows how you feel about friendship.

The key is like that of Pinocchio: big, beautiful, golden - accordingly, the choice of friends also takes place. Friends should be good as a match and, most importantly, always ready to provide support, including material (the approach, frankly, is utilitarian). Friendship for you is a ritual. You need friends to show your worth.

The key is simple, small, metal - you do not make high demands on your friends. A friend should be easy to communicate with, not strain with ritual actions.

Barn Lock Key - You want your relationship with friends to be stable.

The key to an old box - you treat the choice of friends like buying antiques - everyone should be with their oddities, and it is not necessary to introduce them to each other. But you can say on occasion: "Here I am friends with one guy, so he ...". At the expense of friends you are trying to assert yourself.

If you did not pay much attention to the key, then in communication you are closed, suspicious and suspicious. Do not trust even close people. Your main motto: "Do not let anyone close to you."

Consider the key and leave it - you show interest in the people around you, but you are not inclined to turn friendships or friendships into a burden. You try not to "get into the soul" of a friend and do not allow the destruction of your own psychological comfort.

Take the key, hold it in your fist or hang it around your neck - you are serious about friendship and are ready to fulfill your friendly duty at all costs, even if it harms your interests. You are a kind of slave of friendship and expect to be treated the same way, so sometimes you make your friends feel guilty.

Put the key in your pocket - try not to lose sight of old friends, want to "hide" them for a rainy day.

5 question.

This paragraph reveals your attitude to sex.

Mirage is your subconscious disbelief in the reality of sexual relations. You are chasing an illusion, a fantasy. Therefore, the real sexual experience cannot satisfy you (the real partner will never be as good as the hero from your fantasies).

A clear transparent lake is an idealistic attitude towards sex. You strive for a crystal clear relationship.

A dirty desert lake is a subconscious, often suppressed, condemnation of sex. You think sex is dirty.

Waterfall - you associate sex with powerful force.

Creek - You consider sex to be the source of life.

Throw yourself from all tired legs to the pond - you want to get rid of annoying problems with the help of sex.

Approach gradually, first tasting the water with your foot - you tend to be wary of your partner. You strive to learn as much as possible about him, so as not to be mistaken; want to calculate everything in advance.

Approach the water, but do not enter it - the inability to open up in sexual relationships, a subconscious fear of a partner.

Drinking, swimming, diving - you enjoy sexual relationships, they relax you.

Settled by the pond in a sun lounger - you want your sexual relationship to be stable, so you avoid novelty.

6. A vessel found in the desert symbolizes your self-esteem.

An earthen jug indicates a sense of proportion; iron, copper or ceramic - about its almost complete absence.

You took a jug and looked into it - it means that you are striving for self-knowledge.

You didn't take the jug and didn't want to look into it - you probably don't want to know the truth about yourself; this may be due to low self-esteem and the desire to disguise it.

The jug is empty or filled with sand - self-esteem is underestimated.

The jug is filled with precious stones, gold - inflated self-esteem, a constant desire to embellish oneself.

The jug is filled with water - your self-esteem is close to adequate, reflects the desire for self-development.

7. In this paragraph you will learn about your attitude to problems and their solution.

The wall is high, there is a feeling that it cannot be overcome - you treat life's difficulties as something insurmountable, often making an elephant out of a fly.

The wall is high, but with uneven masonry, which you can climb up - You always strive to overcome obstacles, nothing is impossible for you.

Broken wall - You tend to level problems, trying to console yourself.

Sit under the wall waiting for help - you are not confident in your own abilities, you depend on the circumstances.

You will look for how to get around the wall - subconsciously you want to avoid any problems, so you try to avoid sharp corners.

Shout for the rope to be dropped - You like to solve problems with the help of others.

You take the wall by storm - you are mobilizing so that you don’t fly through all the difficulties out of fear, as a result you don’t gain experience and find yourself in a similar situation again.

Carefully climb over the wall - usually you solve problems on your own, without shifting responsibility onto someone else's shoulders.

Climb the wall and see what's on the other side - you tend to stop halfway to foresee everything and protect yourself.

8. At this point, you can find out if you are inclined to succumb to temptation when you already have everything. Do you want to develop and move forward, or do you prefer psychological security and stability?

You are leaving with a caravan - it means that by nature you are a wanderer and a seeker.

You stay in an oasis - the state of complete comfort is more important for you.
