Hey, I am checking out some of the writers who participated in the writing hour this morning. When it comes to finding out who a person is, since my first or second year of college, I've oft asked the favorite animal, favorite color, favorite body of water, and you're seated in a white room with no windows or door, give three adjectives to describe how you feel for each question. According to the psychological survey, how statistically valid, I could not begin to tell you, but anecdotally, it's tended to be fairly revealing and accurate. Those three adjectives about favorite animal are said to be a reflection of how we see ourselves. The favorite color's three adjectives are how others actually see us. The three adjectives about a body of water supposedly one's subconscious description of their sex life. And the three associated with the white room, are said to be how we view death. I grew up as an Air Force Brat, having moved 32 times now in 50+#*@)# years. So I'm a skilled inquisitor when it comes to getting to know people fast. I've found the conversations that have come from this quiz, regardless of validity, to be reasonable insightful. Thought you might want to try it out on your sister if you two haven't done this one before. By the time you get to the body of water question, it's quite interesting to see how squirmy people get. Almost like they know what they're being asked but most all the time I still get an answer. Hope you accomplished your writing goals today. I'm still working them on my end.... Donny
