This has been a relational psychology test. The answers given to the questions
have been shown to have a relevance to values and ideals that we hold in our
personal lives. The analysis follows:
1. The person who you are walking with is the most important person in your
life.
2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of
your problems.
3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. (passive/aggressive)
4. The size of your dream house is representative of the size of your ambition
to resolve your problems.
5. No fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all
times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You'd prefer
people not to drop by unannounced.
6. If your answer did not include food, people, or flowers, then you are
generally unhappy.

disposable, styrofoam, paper and glass are not durable, and metal and plastic
are durable.
