[QUOTE="Forty6and2, post: 390435, member: 14693"] 1. Say the first thing that pops into your head. This game will work best if you don't hesitate or agonize over your choice of words. There are no right or wrong answers. Its all just for fun. 2. Don't try to predict the answers. It's natural to want to try to outsmart the quizzes or guess what their hidden meanings may be. But that takes the fun out of the game and besides, what will you learn from that? 3. Be honest with yourself. It may be only a game, but if it can teach you something about yourself- let it! 4. Keep an open mind. It is important to keep things in perspective. There are no correct answers and there are more than one way of reading any situation. Read the scenario that is provided and answer the question(s).
