Were any of your answers the same as mine? Did any of your answers surprise you? What about my answers, did any of them surprise you?

Personally I think our answers to these kind of questions, tell us a lot about what’s on our mind, and what’s important to us. So bearing that in mind, review your answers again, does my theory hold true?

I sometimes just pick some really random words and just try this myself just to see what my answers are – I know that sounds really sad, but I often find it quite illuminating to discover what is occupying my subconscious…try it out for yourself.
