Thematic Apperception Test

For one of my assignments, I was required to take an online Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), which is basically a psychological test with psychodynamic origins - the gist of it is that you look at a picture, then you write a story based on what you've seen. The psychologist then analyzes what you have written, and gives you an interpretation - presumably because what you have written is a projection of your inner thoughts and desires.

You can try it out yourself if you wish, DON'T CONTINUE READING if you want to try it, because my story is below. Don't copy! haha. Just head on over to this website to try out the test first, just takes 10 minutes. http://www.utpsyc.org/TATintro/

Don't read on if you're going to try it, because it'll affect your answer! (It's the same picture)

Food in Boston

I have been raving about how good the food I'm eating here is, so now, I'm going to SHOW you exactly what I've been eating. Remember, this is part of my dining plan in the dormitory I'm staying in - AKA hall food! And it's buffet every single meal.

Nonsensical Spam Bots

You know those spam bots that post spam links on tagboards, comments on blogs, and everywhere they can? They are annoying right? Even worse, they could be malicious - clicking on any of the links may infect your computer with some sort of malware or virus.  But the fact of the matter is, spam bots typically have a purpose - to get you to click on a link.

On the other hand, there are some spam bots which... to me, really serves no purpose, besides to spam? I have seen some spam comments that make no sense or are just pretty hilarious. Here are some of them:

"To want a spninakg is to need a spninakg.  This is not true in all cases but in this one I feel that want and need are one in the same.  A spninakg is a serious thing.  Most people develope a reson to be spanked and therefore feel as if they deserve a spninakg.  If you feel as if you deserve a spninakg then you feel you need it.  If you feel like you want it, then you need it so that you can stop thinking of the reason you deserve it.Now, I don't know if this makes sense to anyone besides me or not.  When I want a spninakg, that feeling doesn't leave me until my wife gives me one, and from our conversations, it doesn't leave her until she recieves what she feels she deserves.  So when one developes a want for a spninakg, in order to move on with their daily life, a spninakg is needed!

Does this make any sense to you? Well it took me several seconds but I realized 'spinankg' is not some new-fangled drug that they're selling but it's 'spanking' rearranged.

Another one:

Phenomenal baerkodwn of the topic, you should write for me too!

In this case, it's 'breakdown'! I'm actually quite intrigued by these anagram bots and trying to figure out what they mean lolol
