Good morning, children of the universe! It's time for a Psychology Test.
Do any of you remember this from a Long Time Ago? Did maybe your pretentious sister, home from university and spouting her usual boring neurotic bumph, start gassing on and on about her answers to this test and her friends' answers to this test? as if they had some sort of Great Existential Significance and/or revealed something Great and Existential about themselves? Did the whole thing strike you as an exercise in total narcissism?
Have any of you ever wondered what sort of ninny actually WROTE this thing and why everyone fell into lockstep and decided it must Mean Something because SO-AND-SO wrote it and decided it must be important, therefore WE must think it's important too?
OK then, let's begin. . .
A Psychological Test

with it (pick it up, leave it there, look at it, etc.).

Don't remember this, and if it was presented to me I probly fell asleep before it could be administered. The only forest riddle I can recall is the one that asks if a man is alone in the forest, faaaaaar from earshot of any woman, and he says something. Is he still wrong?
ReplyDeleteThis kept popping up. My sister dredged it home from university, then my nuts brother got it from somewhere and made me take it and told me I was sick, then later in high school a guidance counsellor dragged it out and dusted it off. Nobody got it right.
ReplyDeleteI remember once somebody asking, probly at a party, if you were a tree what kind of tree would you be? I think I got up and fetched another beer at that point.
ReplyDeleteI really would like to know who started this, who invented it. Maybe that psychology guy? - can't think of his name now. Jesus, "that psychology guy"??
ReplyDeleteMr. Feelgood, the high school guidance counselor in the comic strip Funky Winkerbean.
ReplyDeleteFAIRGOOD! FAIRGOOD! Dr. Feelgood was in R. Crumb's strip, the one with the cat in it, whatever-the-hell. . .Fritz the Cat, I think. Or was he on Dr. Kildare?
ReplyDeleteDamn,you're good! Of course. Feelgood was the British version Crumb.
