Imagine that you have a white surface in front of you that you need to fill. What kind of image would you create there?

Select an answer:

A striking geometric figure with precise shapes and lines. An abstract shape that does not represent anything specific but has a harmonious effect. A depiction of the landscape with natural elements such as mountains, trees, and rivers. Dynamic composition that constantly changes and shifts. A drawing of a figure or face with clear details that are slightly distorted.

What color would you use to paint the atmosphere in a room full of people?

Select an answer:

Red, which expresses energy and dynamism. Blue, which calms and evokes a feeling of well-being. Orange, because it is warm and friendly. Gray, which represents neutrality and a certain seriousness. A mixture of different colors to display various emotions and reactions.

Imagine that there is a huge stone in front of you. How would you "create" or "modify" it?

Select an answer:

I would crush it into small pieces and use them for a new shape. I would carefully carve out the fine details, creating a sculpture from it. I would assemble it from stones of various shapes, with each having its own function. I would add a stone to the environment and let it exist as it is. I would use colors and patterns on its surface to change its appearance.

Imagine you have a blank piece of paper in front of you. What object would you draw first?

Select an answer:

A shape that is constantly changing, perhaps something fluid and variable. Something symbolic, like a heart or a key, with a clear meaning. A natural object, such as a tree or flower, that has a specific shape. Abstract shapes that do not have to be specific and clear. Something with details – a character or a country with precise contours.

How would you react to a blank wall in a room?

Select an answer:

I would paint something on the wall to make it full of energy. I would redraw the geometric patterns to make the wall feel harmonious. I will leave the wall empty to create a sense of peace. I would try to add something organic and natural to it. I would create temporary creations on the wall that constantly change.

What shape would you create for an invisible force that moves through the air?

Select an answer:

Geometric shapes that combine and divide. Organic, fluid curves that express constant movement. Square shapes that express control and order. Complex abstract structures that act chaotically. A few dots or stripes that are softly scattered across the space.

If you had to draw the feelings, what shape would "fear" take?

Select an answer:

Sharp, jagged shapes that are unpredictable and frightening. Blurry outlines that are hard to define. Dark and narrow shapes that evoke a sense of enclosure. Something clear, but disparate, that is part of a larger whole. Layered shapes that slowly cluster and become opaque.

What texture would you choose for the surface of something that is meant to evoke a feeling of "relief"?

Select an answer:

Smooth and gentle, evoking a sense of peace and silence. A coarse but soft texture that feels stable and secure. Chipped, but soft, as if with a natural feel. Rough, yet airy, like a wind movement in space. A mixed texture that is irregular and creates an interesting contrast.

What sounds would the image you just created evoke?

Select an answer:

Quick, sudden, and intermittent sounds that evoke tension. Quiet and peaceful sounds, like the rustling of leaves or a breeze. Loud sounds that resonate like hammer blows on metal. Strange, unclear sounds that are a mix of natural and mechanical noises. Short and subtle sounds that constantly change, as if moving through the air.

How would you describe the perception of a room if you entered it and all the objects were "unusual"?

Select an answer:

In the middle, there would be something that is symmetrical but unclear. All objects should have a movable, liquid character. The objects would be scattered, but with a distinct pattern. The presence of something unusual would leave a feeling of uncleanliness. A mixture of various shapes and sizes that do not fit together.
