  3. I did it anyway - here it is...

    Name : roses
    Age: Almost 49 years old
    Sex: Female
    Date: 17th May 2011

    1. My favourite story or fairytale as a child was “Kimba the white lion”. We weren’t told stories so I first heard them via the telly.

    2. I like when people are touchable: we can touch each other and it’s ok.

    3. My mother always told me she loves me, that’s why she is saying this or doing this: whatever it was at the time.

    4. I always try to not try – either do or don’t do.

    5. Most men are male?

    6. What bothers me more than anything is when I can’t and I want to.

    7. If I could I would believe that I could do anything I wanted to do.

    8. When I was a child, I wanted to fly.

    9. My father always told me... I don’t think he told me anything. I think he just loved me.

    10. I think I have a right to feel everything and anything all the time.

    11. If I get angry enough I can and will hurt something... badly!

    12. I shouldn’t... hurt anything.

    13. Love is a lie.

    14. I can’t touch everything. Some things are totally untouchable eg. Love, trust, truth...

    15. I get depressed when that feeling happens... that feeling on the inside that makes me hurt so badly all over: my skin mainly.

    16. A mature adult is a person who can control themselves regardless of how they’re feeling: regardless of what they want to do or be or say...

    17. One of my most important rules is “Don’t be shy”.

    18. My parents always told me that they love me.

    19. I failed to listen to my parents.

    20. My biggest fear in life is that I have, am or/and will hurt something beyond repair.

    21. Someday I will die.

    22. The child in me is always my friend.

    23. Sometimes I think “if only I’d not been born”.

    24. People like myself live.

    25. I need to love.

    26. Winners are people who keep going regardless of success or not.

    27. Marriage is legal.

    28. Death is good.

    29. My role in my family is to love.

    30. One thing I try to hide from others is me.

    31. My dreams are usually about something that I want them to be about.

    32. Most woman are female?

    33. I really feel guilty when I do something I know goes against everything I’d like to think is good.

    34. When things get tough I so severely get going! Like a dog protecting his/her bone or a bull at a red flag. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! Oh my goodness! BRING IT ON!!

    35. When I was a child, my parents never hugged me.

    36. Sex is lovely!

    37. When someone disagrees with me I let them.

    38. If I were an animal I’d be dangerous!

    39. The last thing I want to do is to say that I love someone and not really love them.

    40. What I really learned in school is that no one has the power to make me do what I don’t want to do. If I do something for them, it was only because I wanted to first.

    41. I want my children to one day understand what it was that’s really important to them... not what ‘is’ important but what’s important just to them alone individually.

    42. God is love.

    43. A part of me wants to hug you.

    44. Why can’t people be touched and it be ok?

    45. The story of my life would be called ‘Wasn’t meant to be but happened anyway’.

    I haven't re-read them or anything and I just answered them with out much thought. I hope that was what I was supposed to do.

    Enjoy!

  5. H Tony,
    Thanks for sharing this test. Can you tell us more about it? Did you construct it? When was made? When is advisable to use it? Is it only for qualitative assessment? Looking forward to answer sheet :)
    Thanks!

  6. Ok. So I'm guessing that I'll understand your reply to my answers when you put the answer sheet up?

  7. No I didn't construct it Milena and I am not too sure who did, but it would have been sometime ago. You may find it in a TAJ somewhere.

    And yes it is for qualitative analysis

  16. Hello Di,
    Yes i will have a look at your test results. The other three, Roses, Kahless and Linda I know something about because I have had either email, blog, FB chat or skype contact with before.

    I think I don't know you from what I have read on your blog, which is most interesting I may add. So my conclusions will be much less concrete in such circumstances.

  17. It was published in 1988 as a companion to the Parent-Adult-Child Projective Drawing Task, in a specialized transactional analysis journal. I don't think much has been done with it since then, at least nothing published in a reputable outlet. Pity.

  18. Transactional Analysis Model known globally, used to understand human behavior, communication, and relationships with self and others. Developed in the 1950s by the Late Eric Berne, the Transactional Analysis Model is created to develop the capacity to make new decisions that alter the course of life. This powerful method is used to deal with complex human behavior via tools and techniques that can be easily understood by anyone, everyone. This is an experiential way to take a look at one’s behavior and interactions.
