WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
Feelings do not require one side to be erased merely because they seem contradictory. You may want an explanation or prefer to decide what to do first. Use everyday choices to notice your starting point with mixed feelings. This is not a test of naming emotions correctly; it observes responses to ambiguity without ranking quick conclusions or slower reflection as emotional ability.
- Different feelings existing together
- A response to emotional ambiguity
- Two feelings describing the same scene
