The following short quiz is fun and the results are interesting. It is taken from a great little book, Kokology, The Game Of Self Discovery by Tadakiko Nagao and Isamu Saito.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s something magical about a night at the symphony—-
a sense of expectation and pure pleasure. Imagine being able to take a place on that stage among the other musicians, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform at your very best.
If you could join the orchestra, what instrument do you see yourself playing?
3. Trumpet
4. Flute
I will post the meanings of the answers later today. For now, just note what instrument you would play and we shall see how close to your personality we come!
OK, here’s the match up to you and your choice of instruments:
1. String bass
There’s a feeling of power gotten from taking position behind an enormous bass and making it call out in a tremendous moan. In love, your skill rests in the ability to bend your partners to your will, taking complete control, and driving them onward to pleasures they never imagined they could experience. You never ask permission, but that dominating character is what makes you so irresistible.
2. Trumpet
There’s no getting around it — your mouth is the strongest weapon in your arsenal. Whether it’s whispering love talk in your partner’s ear or exploring them with your lips, you have all the characteristics of the oral personality.
3. Flute
the flute demands incredible patience from those who want to master it. You show the same patience in the way you wear down partners with your persistence, determination and stamina. Your lover are often taken off guard when what they thought would be a brief recital quickly develops into a full concerto in six movements.
and the one many of you have been waiting for….
drum roll…..
4. The Violin
The violin demands sensitive finger work and a delicate touch with the bow to draw forth music from the taut strings. You see yourself as having the same awareness and skill in locating and playing upon your partners’ most sensitive points. There’s a sens of adventure in the way your hands can create such beautiful music by running over the same familiar notes.
Isn’t it more fun if we commit to one before you reveal? Violin, me. 🙂
yes Ken, I was hoping you might do that. So later when I do reveal, we can decide just how accurate this is. Personally, I love these quizzes.
I’m curious how this works out. I’d answer violin because I actually played the violin for a number of years in school.
I’m torn.
Between the beautiful sound of the violin and being able to hold a bass close to your body and have its wonderful deep sound pumping through it entirely.
*sigh* and then I don’t have good lungs or I would love to play the flute as well. The trumpet is nice too but it would be my least favourite.
Hm… what to pick. I’d have to go with the Violin as well. And not just so I can sit next to Ken… although that’s a really great plus!
Hi there! fun post indeed!
I’d have to pick the string bass as I’m learning to play guitar.
I see you have posted the answers, so I’m a little late. I was going to ask, what happens if you would prefer an totally different instrument? I wouldn’t choose either the violin (I’ve heard too many beginners) or the string bass (if that’s what I call a double bass). I was torn between the flute and the trumpet and ended up with the flute because of the beautiful sounds. Oh dear!
violin

Wow, I chose before seeing what the instrument meant. I chose violin. Interesting…

@ haleyhughes
now that you have seen the results, does it fit your personality?
A fragilereggie,
you and ken next to one another, both masters of touch, oh my what a steamy symphony that would be!
@ chilly,
you are irresistible, we’ll leave the rest for you and mrs chilly!
@A
I, too chose the flute. I am sure my talents lie in my ability to wear people down, hehe!
@eleni,
I have seen your artwork and know that you are talented with your hands from that aspect.
It showed back up, so perhaps it was a sign, hmmmmm…..
@ Allure,
no surprised there, not to me. 🙂
@Dorothy,
glad you enjoyed the test. I will offer more soon.
This was one of the most engaging and interactive blog posts about hypnosis that I’ve read in a long time. I chose the flute, and I must say that the description was pretty congruent with my self-image. I also love the way you are encouraging self-awareness through such a fun medium.
