In a circular fashion, even the later, more playful tests in this app rely on self-knowledge to generate self-knowledge. When taking the Family Relationship Test (a set of drawings from which to pick the best pictorial representation of you and your kin), subjects who select image 4—three figures looking passively on while one figure lugs loads of baggage—know full well they feel imposed upon by relatives without looking up the key at the back (“burdened”) or they wouldn’t have chosen that answer. As an expat who has put the Atlantic Ocean between herself and her family, I had no trouble selecting image 5: three figures in the foreground bent toward one another, while a smaller figure in the distance runs away. But then, I already knew I was an absconder (“escaping,” according to the key), which is why I circled image 5 in the first place. What have we accomplished? (Though, the drawings are charming.) In other instances, there may be a big difference between what subjects claim they would do in a given hypothetical situation, and what they would really do. For example, in the “Matter in the Wrong Place” Test, I answered the theoretical “Your partner adopts the annoying habit of turning on the kettle most times they walk past it” with c) “You politely explain to your partner that there is little advantage in keeping water close to boiling point in this way.” But anyone (like my husband) horribly familiar with my bossy, autocratic modus operandi in the home would have chosen d) “You seek to impose a ban, to nip this insidious habit in the bud. It could lead to other bad habits, after all.”
Yet if you usually know the answers—anyone who lives in an unabating state of rage probably doesn’t need a questionnaire to identify an “angry” temperament—why are these tests so addictive? In general, the earlier examples in this app are efforts by authorities to identify aberrant proclivities for their own evil purposes, whereas the more recent, more open-ended tests in the latter chapters encourage self-exploration, but taking both types is entertaining. Once freed from the anxiety about failure that school days impose on the experience, test taking is fun; it’s a game. Psychological tests are an opportunity to look in the mirror, and recognizing traits in ourselves is validating, regardless of which traits they are. Personally, I’m more apt to look for evidence that I’m an outlier rather than for proof that I’m just like everybody else, an inclination that lately, alas, makes me just like everybody else: while Western culture grows more conformist politically, in respect to sex and psychology we have grown less normative.
