Dear Friends, here you can find different tests.
The instructions are very simple. So, enjoy yourselves!
Know yourself (by Asya)
1. You are lost in a dark cave, hopelessly searching for the exit, when a bat flies down to whisper in your ear. What does he say?
- I know where the exit is.
- Come with me, I'll show you the way out.
- Keep searching - you'll find it.
- You're never going to find the exit.
2. You've just bought a beautiful new music box. How long do you think it will work?
- a few days
- a few weeks
- a few years
- years and years
What will you do with the music box once it's broken?
- throw it away and buy a new one
- try to fix it
3. You're walking through the woods when you suddenly see a glint of metal through the leaves. It seems to be a briefcase. You open it, and it's full of money. What is your first reaction?
- Yes! This is my lucky day!
- Oh no, what do I do with this???
- I'm going to sleep on this...
- Fate led me to this!
Results
The first question
- You like to stick your nose in other people's business. You're always ready to help people and give them advice, even if they're not asking for it.
- You're a very helpful person who's always ready to lend a hand. People feel at ease with you because they know they can count on you when they need it.
- You mostly keep your help and advice to yourself - not because you don't want to be helpful, but because you think it's good for people to learn their own lessons.
- Seeing someone else suffer makes you feel better about yourself. This attitude will prevent you from making many new friends and will probably cause problems in your existing relationships.
The
second question
How long you expect the music box to work signifies how long you expect a
relationship to last.
What you do with the broken music box signifies how you feel when a
relationship has ended.
The third question
This is the reaction you'd have if someone asked you out unexpectedly.
- You'd probably be really happy about it. If more people could express their happiness like you, the world would be a better place.
- It's normal to feel unsure in a moment like this, but in the end the decision is totally yours. Still, don't debate too long, or else you might lose a chance at happiness.
- You think you'd better make this decision with a clear head after a good night's sleep. There's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes you have to take risks to find true love.
- You thank fate for opportunities that come your way, and are probably more likely to believe in love at first sight.
