The discussion revolves around a set of three questions designed to elicit personal reflections on favorite animals, feelings about a completely white room, and preferred bodies of water. Participants share their answers, often associating specific adjectives with their choices, which leads to a deeper conversation about the potential psychological implications of these responses. Many contributors speculate on the meanings behind the questions, suggesting that the favorite animal reflects self-perception, feelings about the white room relate to attitudes toward death, and descriptions of water bodies may indicate sexual attitudes. Some express skepticism about the validity of these interpretations, comparing them to Rorschach tests and questioning the universality of the associations made. The thread also touches on the origins of these questions, with some participants recalling similar exercises from their past. Overall, the conversation blends personal insights with a critical examination of the psychological theories behind the questions.

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.
