BE FREUD!


Unlock the secrets of your soul.
Unlock the secrets of other souls...



This drawing test is based on a personality drawing test I did as a young teenager.
The results are profound!  
The SNAKE and TREES are especially revealing, almost to the point where I would say it’s not fair that a person has this insight over anyone else. But — oh well, that’s the power of psychology, right?

Because of the nature of this drawing test, you can most probably only do it once in your life, so be sparing with this test, it is one of the most ULTIMATE TOOLS in your toolbox!

The Test

On a blank piece of paper draw the following:
  1. Sun
  2. Tree
  3. House
  4. Ax
  5. Path
  6. Snake

The Meanings

!ACHTUNG - SPOILER ALERT!
This is a once in a lifetime test, so make sure you really want to read the meanings before you proceed.

Stop Arguing, Start Persuading!

A long time ago I started a "sister" blog known as "The Rules of Rhetoric."

I had taken Rhetoric in college, so you know, I thought I was smart.

So I started on one of my many blog adventures: I was going to make Argument Maps, "Rules" of rhetoric, cheat sheets etc. etc.

Oooh I was gonna show 'em! I was gonna be soo RIGHT. I was going to WIN all arguments!

What a bunch of BS!
What happened was: I argued more than ever and NEVER got my point across.

You see, when you argue, you develop two lines: two sides of battle.

Both sides just retreat behind their lines and the battle lines HARDEN. You don't get anywhere.

That's why in the beginning when I noticed this, I pivoted to "The Socratic" method; which is basically just asking questions.

Asking questions works like a charm! The other person stays open, and you engage his brain...

However, you are still arguing.

Finally I realized, it's not arguing I want, I wanted to persuade.

After reading Scott Adam's persuasion series on his blog, and -- coming from California-- having a lot of experience and contact with NLP and hypnosis, I decided to take a better look.

[side note: Scott Adam's is a student of Ericksonian hypnosis. Milton Erickson was the master of "indirect hypnosis" and it is the basis of all NLP today. Scott actually indirectly hypnotized an unwilling TV interviewer on live television! Awesome!]


PERSUASION

Persuasion is actually what we want to do when we think we are arguing. After all, why do we talk to people anyway?

Most conversations are to "relate" to someone. Others are service based: "I'd like a Coke with that burger..."


But the second most frequent conversation is the argument...


And now finally I want to help you stop arguing and start persuading... 


IMAGINE having effective conversations with your friends!

The SEVEN Principles of Making Marriage Work | John Gottman & Nan Silver

Save your marriage with science!

http://geni.us/SevenPrinciples

This book saved our marriage

Seriously—No joke!

 

I got the audiobook and on a 5 hour drive with my wife I "nonchalantly" turned it on.
It was great! We immediately saw ourselves in the first chapters!

Just the first three chapters will help immediately...

What I like about this book is that it blows A LOT of myths apart...


For example non-violent communication: with all of these typical advisors today, giving the old standby generic advice like "communicating is the number one way to save a marriage"...well these have been proven to be FALSE as ****!

As a matter fact some of the most successful couples fight like cats and dogs!


But what I really like about this book is that it's something you can do together:


In Chapter 5 and 6 you really need a piece of paper and pen, and you really have to do these things together and they've all been proven by science...
16 years of observing couples, unsuccessful AND successful couples!

Every time you notice you or your spouse DOING one of them, make sure to take a note and make a RED X in the box.
There are two rows of 14 boxes. 
One for you, one for your spouse.
Example:
  • Your spouse takes the top row,
  • you take the bottom row.
The goal is to have a CLEAN SLATE with zero red X's at the end of the week!

SIMPLE

Until You Make the Unconscious Conscious…

Until You Make the Unconscious Conscious…

… it will direct your life and you will call it “FATE”.




Sigmund Freud said that the mind is like an iceberg: One third is above the water — your conscious mind, and a good two-thirds is below the water — your subconscious mind.

What Is Psychoanalysis?

Almost one-hundred years ago...


When the Swiss canton of Luzern wanted to solve a crime or even a murder mystery, they would call in the local psychologist.

He would then interview the suspect, and it went like this:

He would blurt out a series of words, A LOT of words, sometimes over one-hundred words...

And the suspect would have to answer as fast as possible, with "whatever pops into your head".

Now what the suspect, or better said interviewee, did not know, is that the psychologist was counting the RESPONSE TIME, in seconds, to each word. He did this by secretly tapping the fingers of his right hand against his trouser leg, out of sight of the interviewee.

The answers were not important at all, the response time was everything.

Also very important were the words.

Out of one-hundred totally mundane words like "dog", "yellow", or "ground", he would sprinkle them with emotionally charged words like "knife", "strangle", or even "murder".

After the test was done he would then plot out the graph of words with response times.

The spikes in the response times were tell tales of death.

Often, he could easily do it in his head, then he would end the session with a statement like this: 

"Well sir, it's easy to see; you got mad at your wife who threatened to divorce you, and strangled her to death..."

He solved every case he was called in to solve -- 100%.

The man's name was Carl Gustav Jung (sorry! it wasn't Sigmund!) and he went on to become the great contemporary and then rival of Sigmund Freud.

Now... hold on a second...
I do not propose that you go out and solve murder mysteries with the BE FREUD drawing test...

-BUT-

A drawing, made under the right circumstances, and in the right -controlled- environment can be even MORE revealing than a series of word associations!


The story above was paraphrased from the book
"The Essential Jung" by Storr.

The Importance of a Controlled Environment

 Last weekend my niece and nephew visited me. 

 My niece is 8 and my nephew is 12. So I quickly got out the paper and pencils and told them to go at it!

"Draw me a house, a tree, the sun, a snake, a path, and an ax please!"

"That's easy!" -- harmonious response, and then they got to it.

 As I went into the kitchen and got to working on my patented triple-chocolate-AWE-SUM-O-and more hot chocolate with Oreos and whipped cream, I couldn't wait to see their drawings.

 On the way back from the kitchen to the living room, I had to stop myself from drinking (or is that eating?) their rewards. (I made it, they got their goodies -- don't worry!)

 Well, here are the results:



Niece:

Nephew:
Dammit! They copied each other!

 The HTP and the extended HTP are not group efforts.

 Each person must draw his/her drawing in"near isolation" free from outside influences or distractions.

 Sometimes this works with small kids -- even in a living room with a bunch of people.  

 But usually it doesn't.

 I was not clear in my instructions. Not only did they copy each other in "the big picture", but even in the smallest details -- both suns have sunglasses!

 The placement of everything is exactly the same, the size and shape of everything -- exactly the same!

 With the one exception of my nephew placing the sun a tad bit farther from the house than my niece, both drawings are carbon copies.


QUICK ANALYSIS

All is not lost, despite the copying, we can see a nice big HAPPY sun, indicating a strong positive bond to their father.

TWO TREES?

This is actually common.
Father AND Mother, or two mothers?
How about: mother and step-mother?

The snake is on the chopping block!

You will see this quite often with children.
Normally the snake represents sexuality, but what kind of "sexuality" can we expect from an 8 and a 12 year old?

Frequently the kids will see the snake as an "evil" and it must be killed.

No better way than the ax and the tree stump!

Notice once again, although a person was not required, they drew one anyway.

More to come in the book my friends!

Stay tuned, we are going live in June / July!

See you in therapy,
Eric on behalf of Siggy


Personality test drawing - house sun tree ax snake path


This book is based on a personality drawing test I did as a young teenager.
The results are profound!
However, because of the nature of this drawing test, you can most probably only do it once in your life. Unless of course you are a parent administering this test to your children, and never letting them know the meanings behind the test!

The closest thing I could find to a real clinical analysis is the HTP - House Tree Person test. But it is not the same. Although very interesting and the part about the House and Tree overlap a lot with this test.

This test is basically an extended version of the HTP, but instead of drawing 3 objects we draw the following:

  • House
  • Sun
  • Tree
  • Ax
  • Snake
  • Path
And here begin the first discrepancies with the standard HTP; in some tests you draw a fence, flowers and a river instead of a path. But I will stick to the objects above, as I did the test the 1st time.

Also the meanings are quite different - but I'll leave that in the next post as that would be a spoiler.

YOU MUST DRAW THE OBJECTS FIRST - BEFORE YOU KNOW THE MEANING.

But rest assured, the BE FREUD personality test is much better.

For example SEXUALITY is explored or revealed much more -- this is the fun part!
