What will you do?

1 This first part of the psychological test shows you, your family and friends. The cube is you, the size of the cube, its position in the desert and color are important. The more transparent and lighter it is, the kinder, lighter and more open person. Accordingly, the size of the cube and its position in the desert speaks about how a person sees himself, treats himself, and perceives himself. The ladder is your friends, the number of steps is the number of friends, the strength of the ladder means whether you can rely on your loved ones or not. The horse is your other half. The closer you place something to the cube, the more valuable it is to you.

2 If a person presented a simple metal key, this means that he does not have high demands on his friends; they should be easy to communicate with. The key to an antique box can tell about a person that he is trying to assert himself at the expense of friends and chooses people who are unusual in their position and communication. But the golden key is like Pinocchio’s: big, beautiful, it means that a person chooses his friends carefully enough; these should be good, faithful people, ready to provide support. It is also important what you do with the key: do not pay attention to it special attention, it means that in communication you are closed, consider it, but leave the key - it means that you show interest in friends, but are not inclined to turn friendly relationships into a burden, and if you take the key with you, then you value friendship.

3 If you took the jug and looked into it, it means that you are striving for self-knowledge. An empty jug indicates low self-esteem, a jug with precious stones indicates high self-esteem, but a jug with water indicates adequate self-esteem and expresses a person’s desire for self-development. If you presented a clay jug, it means that in life you are a practical person with a sense of proportion, and an iron or copper one indicates a complete lack of this measure.

4 The wall question shows how you solve problems. If you imagine very high wall, which cannot be overcome, then to life's difficulties treat it as something insurmountable. If you sit under the wall, waiting for help, you are not sure of own strength, depends on the circumstances. If you try to get around a wall, you solve problems by first carefully considering all the paths and consequences.

5 The dwarf symbolizes your health. How attentive and friendly are you?

“I described the “Airplane” test, which is more suitable for men. The Desert Test is intended for women, but since each of us has both masculine and feminine in us, it can be interesting for men as well.

The test helps you understand the picture of the world that guides you in life. Of course, there is no talk of any 100% result of self-knowledge, but the “Desert” test is good way think about your self-esteem, the way you build your relationships with others, your preferences in close relationships, and much more.

You can treat this test as entertainment, you can take it seriously, you can find something to complain about and criticize. This is your choice. Anyway, everyone gets only what they are ready to receive.

So let's begin.

Imagine a desert. What is yours? Consider all the details of the image and remember them. Write down a few adjectives that best describe your desert.

Now imagine a cube in the desert. What is he like? What is it made of? What are its dimensions? How is it located? How does it make you feel? What would you like to do with it? Write down some definitions of your cube.

Once you've finished looking at the cube, imagine a ladder. What is she like? What material is it made of? How is it located relative to the cube? Write down some definitions.

The next image you need to imagine is a horse. Write down what it is, what color, what size, where it is located, what it does, what feelings it evokes.

There are flowers in your desert. What are they? Where are they located relative to the cube? How do you feel looking at them? Give some definitions that best describe these flowers. Write them down.

Finally, consider the horizon in your desert. What is he like? What do you see there? How does this make you feel?

Now let's start decoding.

The image of the desert shows how we perceive the world. For some, the desert is boundless, golden, amazing, sultry, full of trials and adventures, for others it is dry, waterless, dangerous and destructive. Do you feel the difference? Twilight or mirages in your desert may mean that your picture of the world is not sufficiently formed, or you tend to escape from reality and avoid it. The dunes in the presented desert can speak of an understanding of the imperfections of this world. If Bedouins walk through your desert, then perhaps your life is influenced by other people's judgments, opinions and beliefs.

The cube is you. The size of the cube can indicate your level of self-esteem. If the cube is much higher than the level of human growth, then self-esteem is inflated; if it is lower, then, most likely, it is underestimated. One participant in the training where this test was carried out had two cubes in her image: one tiny cube stood in the desert, and she dreamed of a second huge one, standing next to her small cube. For her, this meant low self-esteem with inflated aspirations.

The material from which your imaginary cube is made may also vary. It's best if your cube is made from natural materials(wood, stone, clay). This may mean that you are also completely natural, there is little in you that is artificial, feigned and alien. cube from artificial materials may mean that your “I” is false, you have not found yourself or are not relying on your own real feelings, sensations, resources, experience, but most likely are guided by other people’s views and beliefs.
Look at the epithets you used to describe your cube. If yours is glassy, transparent, hollow, then most likely you are also transparent and simple-minded, somewhat fragile, like glass, and want to be filled. If the cube is hanging in the air, then you are probably cut off from life. A cold cube made of ice or metal can mean emotional detachment. A cube made of cardboard or sand is unreliable, so the person imagining it is also likely to have this quality. A cube made of gold may indicate a person who is trying to add value to himself. Cubes that rotate indicate a lack of a firm position in life. Patterns on the figure may indicate that an impeccable appearance is the leading value of a person. The black cube is the predominance of yin, passive energy, and the white cube is spirituality. A cube on a hill or hill may indicate a desire to rise above others. You should worry about yourself if you imagined a shabby, cracked or dilapidated cube. This may indicate deep mental trauma and ill health.

The staircase symbolizes our friends and contacts with the environment. Wooden staircase happens to those who prefer spiritual rather than useful communication, stone - to those who strive for a reliable environment. If the staircase rests on a cube, then those around you see you as support and support, but if such a staircase is higher than the cube, it is worth considering that perhaps those around you are succeeding in their lives at your expense. A staircase going into the sky indicates high expectations. The stepladder is represented by those whose friends are able to rely on themselves. The two staircases perhaps indicate two completely different social circles that do not mix with each other.

A horse or steed is your relationship partner. White colors may indicate an idealized relationship, black colors may indicate a temperamental partner. If the horse is red, then you prefer cheerful ones; if the horse is gray, then you value reliability in a partner. I imagined a brown horse under saddle. This means that my partner must be a hard worker and a little henpecked. If a woman imagines a horse, and a man a horse, then the partner for such people should be, first of all, a friend with whom you can just chat. A horse with a rider means that someone has a strong influence on your partner.

Flowers symbolize attitudes towards children and motherhood. Flowering cacti are absolutely normal for the desert. One of my friends imagined her black stallion eating flowers presented in the desert. She is already 40, and has no children, but she has a stormy personal life with a temperamental partner. In my opinion, the image reflects this very clearly. It is important how the flowers are located: if to the left of the cube, then perhaps motherhood and children have already faded into the background for you, if to the right, then you are moving towards this.
The horizon in the image shows how you see your future. It may be obscured by some sand dunes or it may be vague, incomprehensible or deceptive due to twilight or mirages...

It is impossible to describe all the options, the main thing is that you understand general principle interpretations and remembered that only you can give yourself the best and most correct interpretation. And the examples of transcripts that I have given you here are only needed to start your own thought process.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST “CUBE IN THE DESERT” This test is actually very popular not only among ordinary Internet users, but also among psychologists, since its deep approach to a person’s deep thoughts has been proven more than once by the veracity of the results. We suggest you take this test armed with a pen, paper and a calm environment around you. So let's begin Imagine yourself in the middle of a beautiful desert. In front of you is only yellow sand and blue sky. Silence, not a soul, just you and the landscape. Now imagine a cube in this desert. What is he like? Big, small, medium? Where is it located - floating in the air, standing on the ground, or do you have your own options? What is it made of, what is inside it? Try to imagine this cube in detail, its shape, size, contents, boundaries, location. If necessary, draw a cube on paper. Now imagine a ladder in the desert. What is it like, what is it made of, how tall is it? How is it located in relation to the cube? Think about it: will there be flowers in your desert? If so, which ones, how many colors will there be and what color? Where will they be located? Now imagine that a horse appears in this picture. Try to think through the animal in every detail. Where is it, what color and size, what distance from the cube is it and what does it do? And the last detail of your landscape is the storm. What is she like, how strong? How will it go and how will it affect all the objects in your picture? Who will be affected and who will not? What will it bring to your landscape? If you have presented all of the above in detail, or even better, drawn it and thought it through to the smallest detail, then you can proceed to decoding. So, the cube The cube is you. How you see yourself, how you are. All details reflect the essence of your inner self. If the cube hovers in the clouds, then you tend to soar in them, if it stands on the ground, then you are a realist and look at things taking into account logic and knowledge. If the cube is buried, then you feel pressure from the outside. If the cube hangs somehow obliquely, edgewise or with a turn, then you feel an internal struggle, some kind of fluctuation. The size of the cube is your ambitions and conceit, self-esteem. If it is big, then you are confident and think of yourself as good person, specialist. If it is small, you should believe more in yourself and your strengths. If the cube is made of steel, you are durable and confident man. If you are made of glass, then you are responsive and vulnerable, who easily lets everything into you. If the cube contains precious stones or decorative elements, you consider yourself special. The fullness of the cube is your own fullness. If it is empty, then you feel empty and are at a crossroads. Any other details of the cube and the words you use to describe it apply to you. Staircase The way you described the staircase reflects your relationship with others. A straight staircase means simplicity and ease of communication, but a screw or curved one means that you are trying to avoid new people in the company and society. How far or close the staircase is from the cube is a sign of how you feel about meeting new people. If the ladder comes into contact with the cube, you are open to new contacts. The length and strength of the ladder is the number of friends and acquaintances. If it is short, then you make do with 1-2 true friends in life, but if the staircase is long and made of durable material, then there are many friends, acquaintances, and acquaintances around you. Flowers As they say, children are the flowers of life. If they are not in your picture, it means that you are not ready yet, or your parental gene and instinct are not so developed. The number of flowers, respectively, is the number of children. If the flowers are bright, you wish your children a carefree and happy childhood. If there are a lot of colors and they are close to the cube, you are the type of person for whom big family– ideal. A house, many children and grandchildren - this is a picture of a happy old age for you. If flowers braid the cube, then caring for children has become a burden to you. Horse Horse is your relationship with your spouse. The size of the horse is your dominant feature. If you draw a strong big horse, then you expect this from your partner, and if the horse is small, you want to have a leading role in the pair. If a horse runs through the desert, you value freedom, but if it is tied, you want to control your partner. How close the horse is to the cube reflects your emotional connection with your partner. Storm And the last thing is a storm, which symbolizes life's troubles. If it is too close, it means you are going through difficult times. If it affects any subject, you have a problem in that area. If the storm is far away or it subsides without affecting anyone, then you have nothing to fear, you are now not subject to any influence of any troubles. The test does not reflect constants, but rather the state of your inner self at a specific period.
