The first question, your favorite animal, reflects your attitude toward yourself. Not the animal itself, but the words you used to describe it.

Chinchilla: bouncy, adorable

zooby said:
The second question: how you feel when imagining yourself entering an all white room, reveals your attitude to death.

Moonbear said:
Cold, sterile

zooby said:
The third question, how you describe your favorite body of water, reveals your attitude to sex.

Moonbear said:
Umm...err...ah...hmm...I never thought about favorite bodies of water, ever. Okay...
Bathtub: soothing, warm.
Alright, alright, alright, I'll pick a different one:
Atlantic ocean; unforgiving, pounding (I really want to use more words...just two adjectives isn't enough).

:smile: :smile: Works for me! :biggrin:

I remember a similar version of this from high school. We called it a "parlor game". It sort of goes in a story form:
This one is more comprehensive, but it seems more Freudian because of the "story" or "scenario" aspect: more like a dream sequence. The fact you aren't limited to two adjectives per description should make it a better formed analysis.
